About this property

Cozy cabin on Lake Hartwell. Book your family Summer & Fall vacation today!!

We have a beautiful Cape Cod style cabin on Lake Hartwell, approx 40 min from Clemson, SC, and 45 min from Helen and the North Ga mountains. The cabin sits on a very large lot and is in a cove with only a few homes. Freedom Lake Cabin is clad in cedar and wood, inside and out and has a spacious open floor plan. The den has an open vaulted ceiling with a flat rock hearth and wood stove providing rustic lodge-like ambiance in a relaxed and comfortable setting. It is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing vacation with family or friends.

Wooden decks wrap around most of the home, providing beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding forest. There is also a screened in section of the back deck with a table and chairs for outdoor dining. The huge front porch has rocking chairs and a porch swing and is the perfect spot to relax and read a good book or just enjoy the atmosphere.

The den area upstairs has YouTubeTV live streaming on our Roku stick. A dining area sits adjacent to the den and overlooks the lake. We also have WiFi Internet.

The home has a full kitchen upstairs complete with a JennAir range top for cooking, an electric oven, dishwasher, microwave and coffee maker. The home also has a second kitchen in the basement with a range top and a second full size fridge in the garage.

The master bedroom upstairs has a king-sized bed and is furnished with several antique pieces from the Southeastern US. The master bathroom, just off the master bedroom, is newly renovated and has a shower/tub combo. The 2nd bedroom upstairs is also furnished with several antiques from the area, including an authentic iron bed.

The home has a fully finished basement. The wood-clad den area in the basement has a TV and a karaoke machine with hundreds of songs available.

The home’s 3rd bedroom is in the basement. It has a queen sized-bed as well as a smaller twin bed. Just off this bedroom is another full bathroom with a combo shower/tub.

Outside of the home, there is a BBQ grill.

The property sits on Lake Hartwell, in a quiet cove. The oversized boat dock has a covered storage area for a boat as well as a sundeck perfect for sunbathing. Kids (and some adults) seem to love to jump off the sundeck into the lake.

Note there is a set of steps that lead down to the lake. It's not recommended for those with physical limitations.

Pontoon boat and Jet Ski rental is nearby in Lavonia and Gumlog. More information is available upon request.

Whitewater rafting and zip line tours are also nearby in Long Creek, SC, a short 45 minute drive. For more info, visit

This is truly the perfect vacation spot for families looking to get away from the big city and enjoy time together. The close proximity to Clemson and Athens also make it a perfect spot to enjoy a football weekend. Great fishing, swimming and boating await you here.

Really cute cabin!

Cute cabin with a few drawbacksWe really enjoyed our stay at this super cute and cozy cabin—it had everything we needed for a relaxing week away. The porches were lovely for morning coffee, the location was easy to find, and communication with the host was quick and responsive.A few things to note for future guests: the second bedroom didn’t have usable drawer space, as the dresser was full of the owner’s items—not ideal for a week-long stay. The dock area was also a bit of a letdown. There was a boat and jet skis parked there, which blocked the view and made it tough to fish or fully enjoy the space. Swimming meant heading to the muddy bank, which wasn’t great due to the smell—though we understand that’s just part of the natural setting, not the owner’s fault.The biggest concern, which we saw in other reviews as well, was the extremely steep walkway or stairs to the dock. It’s not very safe for elderly guests or small children, so something to keep in mind when booking. We looked into renting a golf cart because there were golf cart tracks leading down to the dock but could not find anything the week we were there. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and we appreciated the peaceful surroundings. We ended up swimming at nearby Tugaloo State Park, which was a great alternative

Fun on the lake.

We arrived on a Tuesday and check in was effortless. Plenty of room for entire family of 10. Lake was beautiful and we really enjoyed the front porch. We knew the walk to the dock was steep but you really get your exercise. We loved the cabin and the host was the greatest.

Anniversary get away

We had a great time, lots of fun. The cabin was plenty big enough to accommodate 8 adults, although we were only two. They had everything anyone would need. There was plenty of things to do. Very comfortable and relaxing.

Awesome vacation at Lake cabin

The cabin was perfect. Cozy and spacious at the same time. We had a perfect christmas, we baked cookies, Karaoke, and had wood burning in the fire. The cabin felt warm, the water was always hot. The decoration was lovely. We are looking forward to making more memories at the lake cabin in the future.

This cabin worked just fine for a 3 person work trip. The stairs to the basement can be tricky if carrying a load, but there is a back door on the basement level for convenience. Communication was excellent!

Tournament Trail

My husband and youngest son fished in the National Fishers of Men Bass Tournament on Lake Hartwell. The property was perfectly located close to launches for scouting and also near Greenpond Landing for the weigh in. There were several activities nearby for the kids to enjoy. The cabin was lovely located in a very quiet neighborhood. GPS brought us right to the front door.

Fun, comfortable lakehouse - great for family

I came with my older kids (19 down to 6) and everyone had a great time. The house is comfortable and fully stocked and the kids had a great time in the water (and with the karaoke machine). The bedrooms were comfortable and the deck, porch, screened-in porch, and the dock were great for sitting and reading. It would be hard for someone with mobility issues or for families with very young kids. I highly recommend the cabin!
