Lake vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We rented a pontoon boat from harbor light marina which was a 20 min boat ride from the house. The dock was a great place to have morning coffee and watch the sun rise. We enjoyed kayaking and fishing as well. Thank you for sharing your place!

What an awesome home! It was right on the lake and about 40 minutes to get to Clemson. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook several meals. The layout was fantastic. We could all hang out together on the main level and then escape to the bedrooms on the other levels. We had the best time!!

Good Bones

We spent 4 days at Shady Willow. Communication and the check-in process was a breeze. The location was beautiful and the lake and dock were a hit! Unfortunately, the outside of the property was filled with cobwebs and spiders. It seemed that the grounds had not been maintained. Inside, the bathrooms and bedrooms were clean and the kitchen was equipped to cook. However, the home seemed to be missing important details. Some examples include wall paint on the cabinets in the kitchen. Pots and pans were unorganized and there was no cabinet liner in most of the cabinets. The downstairs porch had rips in the screen.These items did not prevent us from having a good time. It was just not as nice as we thought it was going to be. The property manager did ask for ways to improve the home. I did email him with some of our concerns.

Just ok

The location was good, house was fine, nice having extra stuff like shampoo, sun screen etc. Some issues though that were annoying. As soon as we got there, we had to unload a full dishwasher and dryer of towels. We didn’t mind, but annoying. By far the worst thing about this house were the toilets. We are not huge people with huge waste, but every single toilet flush required plunging. We messaged the owner for an additional plunger but never heard back and we had to buy one for the other toilets.

Thank you for the review. We strive for our guests to have a relaxing and great time at the lake and enjoy the beautiful house & property as we do! We've talked with our cleaning crew to double ensure clean dishes are put away prior to any new guests coming in, as that is part of the standard protocol we've already put into place for our crew. We've also updated our welcome packet to address the plumbing nuances that made your stay a nuisance and put fun signage up to reiterate.

4th of July fun!

The house was perfect for our needs. We had 5 teens, a pre-teen 2 adults and one dog. We loved relaxing in the morning on the deck in the reclining chairs. The dock was very accessible for our boat. We loved the use of the noodles that were available. A huge plus was the hose to rinse off several of our toys! The owners were very accessible via text and promptly responded to the couple of questions I had such as asking if we could park our boat trailer on the street because there was no way I could back it down the driveway safely (I can parallel park my 30' trailer). There was a huge fireworks display in the main channel that we would definitely like to see next year. I think, out of the owners control, is how steep the slope is to the dock, but it should be mentioned. Not undoable, but don't forget something in the house. The BBQ was awesome and will be headed to buy one for ourselves. Overall a great house that I would recommend to everyone and return for future visits. You won't be dissapointed.

We were so glad to have Rich and his guests!! They were absolutely perfect guests!! We hope to hear from them in the future. We are glad they loved the grill!! The hill down to the water is steep, but it is paved all the way down. The hill is one of the trade offs for having deep water, it was about 10 feet of the end of the dock for their stay and gets deep quick, something you have to be mindful of staying at Hartwell with the fluctuating water levels!!

A Dream Getaway

Our recent stay at Shady Willow Lakehouse was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for a memorable experience. This retreat provided us with everything we needed for a perfect family vacation, leaving us with cherished memories that will last a lifetime. First and foremost, the location of the lakehouse was breathtaking. Nestled amidst nature's beauty, the views were simply awe-inspiring. We were greeted with panoramic vistas that showcased the shimmering waters of the lake and offered us a front-row seat to witness stunning sunsets each evening. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the area around the dock. The deep waters were ideal for swimming, and we spent countless hours splashing around, enjoying the refreshing embrace of the lake. The ample supply of noodles and blowups provided by the owners, along with the ones we brought along, ensured that our water adventures were filled with endless fun and laughter. The lakehouse itself was a haven of comfort and convenience. The well-equipped kitchen surpassed all our expectations. It boasted a wide array of appliances, cookware, and utensils, allowing us to prepare delicious meals with ease. It felt like stepping into our own personal Lakehouse, designed specifically for us. Furthermore, the owners of Shady Willow were a joy to communicate with. Their prompt and friendly responses to our queries demonstrated their dedication to ensuring a pleasant stay for their guests.

The Shady Willow Gang is made up of two families that love to travel and stay at different places. We thought we would join the community and share our piece of heaven with everyone.

Why they chose this property

This is where our families get together to unwind, have a good time and enjoy the 'Lake Life'. There is nothing better then drinking your morning coffee from the swing on the dock. Either swimming off the dock or kayaking or boating, this is a great place to enjoy Lake Hartwell. Boat rentals are close by. Clemson is around 30 minutes away. This home is perfect all year round with the milder climate and plenty of great Parks and hiking trails within a 30 minute drive.

What makes this property unique

Deep water, covered slip dock with swing, quiet cove with beautiful views!! Wooded lot and quiet neighborhood.
