About this property

Lake Hartwell Log Cabin, Clemson, Fire Pit, Fenced Yard, Grill, Pets & Game Room

Escape to "Tigertown Lake Escape", a spacious 4-bedroom, 3 bathroom log cabin tucked away on a private, wooded 1.3 acre lot just 13 miles from Clemson University and Anderson University. With expansive wrap around porches, a large fenced yard, multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, a game room, fire pit, children's playhouse, and plenty of room for family and friends, this is the perfect setting for Clemson or Anderson football weekends, family vacations, fishing tournaments, holiday gatherings, or a peaceful Upstate South Carolina getaway.
Surrounded by mature trees, the property offers the privacy and relaxed atmosphere of a mountain-style cabin while keeping you close to Clemson, Anderson, Lake Hartwell attractions, marinas, restaurants, and major fishing tournament venues.
The Cabin: Step inside from the covered rocking-chair front porch and you'll immediately feel the warmth of the true log cabin, with soaring pine ceilings, natural wood details, and comfortable spaces designed for gathering. The spacious main living room features a wood-burning fireplace, comforable seating, and a 55-inch Samsung Smart TV. The home includes Wifi, Cable television, and Smart TV's throughout. The fully equipped kitchen makes preparing meals for a group easy, with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, double oven with air fryer, and numerous small appliances including a crockpot, blender, toaster, Keurig Duo coffee maker, and more. The dining area is surrounded by windows overlooking the wooded property and features a large farmhouse table with plenty of room for everyone to gather. Need to stay connected? A dedicated office area with a desk, monitor, and complimentary Wi-Fi provides a convenient space for remote work or school.
The home has 2 bedrooms and 1 full (tub/shower) bathroom on the main level and 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms on the lower level. The first bedroom on the main level has a King size bed and 40-inch Samsung Smart Television. The second room on the main level has a Queen size bed and a 40" Samsung Smart TV. All bedrooms are large with plenty of space, and the king rooms have space for a pack-n-play or inflatable bed if needed.
The lower level of the home offers the spacious Master Bedroom, with a California King bed, a pack-n-play, a full shower/tub bathroom, and a 37" Flat Screen TV with Apple TV. The fourth bedroom on the lower level of the home has a Full-size bed, a Twin size bed with a twin trundle bed, and a 32-inch Smart Television with Roku. There is a second entertainment/living area on the lower level. This area includes a recreational game room with a Poker Table, Pac Man Arcade Game that includes 14 other games, dart board, various board games, a basket of toys & balls, books, and a comfortable sectional couch/Queen sleeper sofa and 50" Samsung Smart Television. This living area also has a kitchenette with a second refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee maker, sink, and bar. The laundry room on the home's lower level has a Whirlpool washer, dryer, and utility wash sink.
1.3 Acres of Private Outdoor Living: One of the best features of Tigetown Lake Escape is the outdoor space. The cabin's expansive wraparound porches provides multiple places to relax, dine, and enjoy peaceful wooded surroundings. The main-level porch includes three outdoor dining tables, a fun Tiki-style bar area, and a Weber gas grill. Downstairs, a covered patio provides another comfortable private place to unwind outdoors. Gather around the fire pit in the evening for s'mores, hot dogs, or storie, and time together under the trees. Families with children will love the whimsical two-story playhouse, complete with electricity, a play kitchen and tool table. The property also includes Cornhole and a variety of outdoor games and balls. The property features a large fenced yard giving dogs and children additional space to enjoy the outdoors. There is even a special dog-friendly walk-up ramp.
Tiger Fans and Raven Fans will appreciate being only 13 miles from Clemson University and Anderson University, making the cabin an excellent home base for football and sports weekends, graduations, campus visits, reunions, and other University events. Come back after the game, fire up the grill, gather around the fire pit, or relax on the porch surrounded by the woods.
Anglers love the space and location this property provides. There is plenty of private parking for vehicles, boats, and trailers, and Green Pond Landing and Event Center - home to the major Bassmaster events - is only approximately 5 miles away. We have proudly hostes anglers participating in the Bassmaster, Junior Bassmaster, and other fishing tournaments. Portman Marina and waterfront dining are approximately 2.5 miles away, and local bait and tackle shops are conveniently located on the way to the marina.
Please note: Lake Hartwell is a reservoir with naturally fluctuating water levels. Due to the current drought and unusually low lake levels, water is temporarily receded from our dock and direct water access from the dock is not currently available. Because lake conditions can change, guest planning to bring a boat, kayak, or other watercraft should inquire prior to booking for most current conditions of dock access if needed. The good news is that enjoying Lake Hartwell is still incredibly convenient due to the close proximity of Green Pond Landing and Portman Marina, both approximately five minutes away, providing nearby options for boat launching and lake access.
Tigertown Lake Escape give you the feeling of being tucked away in the woods while keeping you close to some of the area's most popular destinations:
13 miles from Clemson University
13 miles from Anderson University
2.5 miles from Portman Marina
5 miles from Green Pond Landing and Event Center
Weather you're coming for a Clemson or Anderson Football or Sports Event weekend, competing in a fishing tournament, gathering the family for a vacation, bringing the dogs along for an outdoor getaway, or simply looking for somewhere peaceful to recharge, Tigertown Lake Escape offers space, privacy, comfort, and plenty to do. Spend mornings sipping coffee on the warparound porch, afternoons exploring Clemson, Anderson and Lake Hartwell, evenings grilling with family and friends, and nights gathered around the fire pit.
Comes escape the hustle and bustle, slow down, and enjoy what matters most - the people you're sharing it with.

Everything about the house was as advertised. The Lake was not up by the house just due to recent drought but the owner of the property called very early on into our booking and told us this and was very accomidating with anything we needed. Would 100% suggest this location to others and am planning on actually staying at this location again if it is avalible

This lake home was amazing! I loved the personal touch by the host. She left a s’mores kit and a handwritten welcome note. We were not able to enjoy the dock because of low water level due to the drought. But the home made up for that. It was very pet friendly. Would stay here again if in the area.

The property was well maintained and as advertised. VERY dog friendly and anticipated puppy needs very well. Bedrooms were spacious. Kitchen was well stocked. The living room was a little “cozy”, but as expected from the pictures. Wish the drought hadn’t dried up the water/dock area, but that wasn’t the host’s fault! She reached out before the trip to make sure we were aware. Quiet neighborhood and close to Anderson, Clemson and Greenville. We had plenty to do. We would recommend this rental!

I gave the property five stars all the way around. The only disappointment was one that was out of the hosts control, which was the lake was so low we couldn’t use the home for what we rented it for… the water access! We understand it happens and we’d rent from them again!

We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the property and the home! We appreciate you understanding the challenges of the lake level on Lake Hartwell. Unfortunately, due to a drought in the area our water level is lower than it typically is this time of year. It is slowly but surely coming back up, and our guests will be able to enjoy all the lake has to offer from our back door. Thankfully we are less than 5 minutes away from Greenpond Boat Landing and Portman Marina in the mean time. Thank you for taking great care of our home, and we welcome your return!

Ashley and Scott were the best. Ran into a small issue while there and they jumped on it immediately no questions asked and had it fixed as fast as they could as best as they could with a house full of people, and kept checking on us after the fact to make sure we where comfortable.The house itself is beautiful, very well kept, we will be staying again, if not for the house then definitely for the wonderful hosts. Truly the best place we have stayed at. 10/10 would recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Sabo

Host profile image
We began hosting on VRBO 13 years ago with the desire of owning a vacation home and having guests enjoy it as well. Our first home was purchased in VA, and since that time we have purchased 3 others in South Carolina with this property being our most recent investment. Hosting on VRBO and hearing about the wonderful memories our guests make in these homes has since become my passion.
My husband and I are originally from VA and Florida. We currently reside in Tega Cay, SC on Lake Wylie...yes we love the water (salt and fresh). My husband served in the US Marine Corp., then attended Montreat College, and I attended Clemson University and obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. We have 2 children, our son is a third-generation student at Clemson University, and our daughter is a Senior in High School. We also have two loving Labrador Retrievers, and understand the importance of traveling with your "Whole Family" (2- and 4-legged children).

Why they chose this property

We chose this area and neighborhood because it has a special meaning to our family. We have three generations of Legacy at Clemson University and currently, our son is a sophomore at Clemson. My husband enjoys fishing on Lake Hartwell and has a twin brother that owns a home on the lake as well. In addition, we liked the quiet neighborhood, and remote location, situated perfectly on Lake Hartwell. The wooded lot and secluded location feel like you are in the wilderness, yet the home is conveniently located to many restaurants, grocery stores, and amenities. We also have wonderful neighbors that create a lovely community.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the natural beauty of this property, the secluded wooded lot, the waterfront location, and the well-built log cabin. This property has many unique features including the very large fenced-in yard, the beautiful wrap-around porches, and the rocking chair front porch. It also offered many extras for all age groups and guests including; a two story playhouse, a secluded dining area that overlooks the lake, and a super cute doggy ramp. In addition we have since installed a nice concrete fire pit area, and a concrete walking path to allow easy access to the lake.
