Amazing Weekend Getaway

Very impressed with the property and the folks who hosted. We had booked this property after another trip fell through and we were glad it did. I highly recommend staying at this property if youre looking for privacy, upgraded amenities, relaxation, and access to some of the best fishing in the southeast.

A Relaxing Vacation

We liked the location on the lake as it was away from the boat traffic, yet close to kayak to Poplar Springs park, and a nearby island. The house had everything we needed. We loved sitting out on the deck, and viewing the lake from the bedroom and living room.

Lovely time at Cheerful cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the dock and the view to the open water of Lake Hartwell, and the home itself was very nice, plenty of room and comfortable. Would certainly recommend it for others' enjoyment!

Comfy cottage on a Lake

Wonderful girls weekend getaway

We had a wonderful relaxing mom's getaway. The beds were super comfortable and house was clean, welcoming and comfortable. We rented a boat from Harbor Light Marina (excellent experience) just a short ride from the property. Peace of Pie (pizza, sandwiches, etc.) was amazing and also a short ride. We hope to rent again for a future weekend!

Updated Legacy Lakehouse

Older house in an obviously older development on the lake. That said, the house has been nicely updated. It was clean, well outfitted, and everything worked. Quiet neighborhood and excellent access to a deep cove. The road in is interesting, but not bad. We had a good time and would certainly go back.

Cute little cabin. Very clean. We enjoyed our stay. The slope to the water was a little steep and the back yard was not well kept. Dock needs some work, as the last step from land to dock is not attached. This was a bit worrisome. Overall a great place to stay at a reasonable price. Oh! The bed in the master is amazingly comfortable!!
