Family get away

Beautiful property! We love going to the lake and this place had everything we needed and more. The cove was private allowing the kids to swim and play with no worries of boats or jet skis. Convenient to grocery store. The interior of the home was very well maintained and decorated. It was easy to just settle in and relax. Would go here again.

2nd Time, Just as Fine!

Love this house. Just perfect for our group of 4 couples! Lake-time is fun. We also enjoy playing games, working puzzels, eating and hanging on the large porch! Lots of room for all, plenty of parking and convenient to golf, shopping, etc. Great hosts too! Thank you!

Wonderful stay!

Our second stay was a great as the first! House is wonderful - very large and spacious! Large, covered back deck is very comfortable and relaxing. The lake amenities (SUP, kayaks, floats, etc) are a nice touch. My only recommendation would be to add a few more cooking items (larger pot, colander and extra cutting board). Thanks again!

Sad to leave

Perfect little getaway! The worst part of our trip was when we had to leave 😕. The house is absolutely stunning and had everything we needed to enjoy a few days on the lake while my husband fished a tournament. Susan was very accommodating and easily accessible when needed. We can’t wait to come back again soon!!

Fantastic Lake House Experience!

We recently stayed at this super nice lake house, and it exceeded all our expectations. The home is fully furnished and stocked with everything you might need, making us feel right at home - only better! The location is perfect, close to town and the Hartwell Marina, making it easy to explore and enjoy the area. The house itself is beautifully furnished, offering plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. The boat dock is a fantastic addition, perfect for anyone looking to spend time on the water. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and can’t wait to return!

Lovely Lake Lodge!

Your cares will disappear the moment you walk into this warm and inviting home. The decor is fun filled and makes this home not so ordinary! The upstairs covered porch gives a beautiful view of trees and lake. The dock is extremely nice with a upper level that gives you awesome views of the lake. The marina is 5 minutes away to rent a boat or grab some lunch. Our family is hoping to return soon! Thank you Susan!!

Fantastic Hartwell Lakehouse

Very nice, clean property with a well stocked kitchen and a beautiful dock! Susan was very responsive to inquiries. Everything was perfect with the house. Close to town for groceries, etc. If you are bringing a boat, note you cannot use the ramp at Hartwell marina. However, gum branch ramp is not far..

This home is exactly what we were looking for and perfectly described. The decor is spot on for a lake house. Susan was great to work with and the extras in the home did not go unnoticed (soap, garbage bags, paper towels etc)... When I purchase a lake house, I want it to be just like this one. Thank you. We will be back!
