We had a wonderful time at Nancy’s house it was very spacious and clean! The kitchen was very well stocked as well! We stayed here to celebrate our daughters 18th birthday and it was perfect!
Nancy’s home was the perfect location for our lake trip. It was clean, stocked with everything we needed and in a beautiful quiet cove on the lake with an amazing covered dock. We will definitely be back.

This is a lovely spot tucked away in a cove on Lake Hartwell that is quiet and easy to get to. The house was spotless and the communication with the owner couldn’t have been better. We will definitely be staying here again and could not recommend this place more.

The listing was accurate and everything was as described. The kitchen was large and fully stocked. We enjoyed the dock and the kayaks. Will definitely visit again.
This lake house was ideal for a fun, relaxing weekend! A quick drive from Atlanta and much roomier than pictures seem. Everything we needed was there for us and we had no worries at all. We plan to return if/when we go back to Hartwell!

Great house
House was clean, in good shape, and with an easy path to the dock. Stocked with anything you could possibly need. Owner (Nancy) was great. Plenty of room for all of us. Kid friendly, pet friendly. Would go back again.
This property was amazing! Our host was so nice and so easy to get in touch with ❤️. We enjoyed our weekend so much with friends and family. The home was huge and had so much room.. we are definitely booking again soon for the summer!

Another Awesome Stay
This is our 2nd stay at Nancy's place and it was just as comfortable as the first. This home has huge amounts of space to gather, a great kitchen, and has everything you need for a nice get away. It also has a covered dock for your boat with an easy walk from the house. For you bass fishermen, the dock has power to keep the batteries charged up. We have stayed in countless homes over the years and it is one of our top places to stay on lake Hartwell. Thanks again Nancy.

From the owner: "Thank you so much Gary! We love staying there as well and love to hear others enjoying it as much as we do! We may be replacing the grill this summer, and really appreciate the feedback. Enjoy your summer and we hope to see you again soon. Nancy."
We stayed here for a great family getaway. We had friends staying about 30 minutes away so it all worked great. The house was very clean, very nice and very roomy. Awesome layout and honestly probably one of the most well stocked homes we’ve ever rented, and we VRBO a lot! Over 30 homes a year! Had a small water issue and the owner had it remedied immediately so 5 stars for that for sure! We will definitely be back and loved this place!
Beautiful home, all the amenities I could want, a community fridge (great idea! took advantage of it).
We hung out on the patio. Wonderful communications with property manager, went above and beyond for us! Lake Hartwell is a beautiful lake and we had a lovely vacation. Thanks for having us stay.

Host and House was great!
Had a couple minor setbacks but Nancy was on top of it! Was easy to get a hold of and would answer back quickly. Loved the house, being next to the water was great. Everything was in order and the checkout procedure were not crazy and were easy to follow. Would completely recommend to others. Also, Internet was one of the fastest in different houses I've stayed at, so if you work from home and want to get away, this is the house for you!

From the owner: "I am thankful for guests like you!
I am also so happy to hear that the internet was good for you!! We invested in Starlink in order to improve the service. Recently, Hartwell offered Fiber Optic Internet in our area so we moved to that. Hope the fast service continues. It is a challenge at the Lake. Thank you again for staying with us."
Went with adult daughters, spouses, grandchildren and a dog. Amenities included many things for both the18 month old and the dog! Very nice house, fully equipped for anything you could want, easy walk to the dock, use of 2 kayaks. Great neighborhood too. It rained most days and many things to do were a 30 minute drive, but between that and all the games provided we had a great time together and that’s what it’s about. Owner even called from Colorado to see if my son in law’s kayak got loose when neighbors saw one floating in the rain.

Easter Weekend 2023
The home was exactly as I expected based on pics and past reviews...5 stars!!
Location is only 15 mins from downtown Hartwell, where there are restaurants, bars, and grocery stores for all your needs.
The house has a great layout and very roomy. The grill had propane for a couple of great meals outside. The kitchen is equipped for anything you are willing to put together from a simple meal to all an out dinner for a group!!
The owner was very quick to respond for any questions we had during our 4 day stay. She is awesome.
I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay at Lake Hartwell!!

From the owner: "Thanks for the nice review! There's not too much we can do about the Lake level. It's crazy how low the water level is this year!! Hopefully, it'll adjust soon. We are so glad you had a nice time. Come back anytime!"
Ever been to a rental to find thread bare towels and sheets that pop off the corner of the bed? That is NOT the case here!! Very soft comfortable sheets and luxurious towels. Very nicely stocked with everything you need. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful location!

Great week for our 50th anniversary! We were greeted by a bottle of wine and flowers😁.
Plenty of water for boat at dock even though lake levels were low.
Had everything we needed with quick responses from owner, Nancy to our questions.
Hubby caught a lot of fish too. Very nice property!

Best place ever!!!
Very peaceful and beautiful home. Loved the lake and fishing was awesome! Very well stocked, clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend. Nancy was quick to respond to any questions as well as a pleasure to talk to.
This was our second stay here and can't wait to go back.
Short 1 munute walk to the lake down the path. Quite area, good spot for the family. We should have rented a boat for the stay. The little bay area is fine, but we wanted to be a little closer to the main part of the lake. Renting a boat and launching from this house would have made our stay even better. All in all, nice place. Has everything you need to enjoy yourself.
Plenty of room for a large family and it's right on the water. Nice dock for your boat or your large party float. No boat traffic comes through so you can tie off and float all day long. Nice firepit area for lazy nights and a big back porch with plenty of seating. We had a blast and are already planning another trip.
We had a lovely time staying at this private and relaxing home. It was great for our family of 5 plus our dog. We really enjoyed the location right on the lake which was perfect for kayaking and fishing. We especially loved roasting marshmallows around the fire pit and splashing around in the creek.
