Why the Owner Chose Hartwell
My husband and I both grew up spending time on the water, so having a lake house to enjoy with our family and friends is something we've always dreamed of. Lake Hartwell is a huge uncrowded lake with crystal clear water and plenty of space for tubing, skiing & wakeboarding! With both the Tugaloo and Seneca River channels to explore and tons of quiet coves to drop anchor in, we never run out of things to do on the water!
When we began searching for a lake home, we fell in love with the area around Hartwell, GA. The location is a short drive from Atlanta, has restaurants nearby, shopping if you need, and makes a great "home base" to explore the lake and the North Georgia/South Carolina mountains! The location couldn't be better for you to enjoy all the Lake Hartwell area has to offer!
Owner's Map of Hartwell
Our family lives about an hour from Lake Hartwell and we love spending time here, but we've found our busy lives don't let us get up to the lake every weekend! Since our home is designed for entertaining family and friends, offering it as a vacation home to others made perfect sense! Come experience Hartwell Lake Escape for yourself!

Best rental house to date!

Review Submitted: 11/30/11
I've rented several vacation homes and have usually been disappointed with the results. NOT THIS TIME. The house was exactly as described and then some. Clean, beautifully furnished, everything you might need was there and the setting was perfect for a family gathering. I will rent this home (because that's what it felt like) again. Great experience.

The Hartwell Lake Escape is just what we needed before we started our new school year in Florida. We went with another family kids ranging from 5 to 18 and it was perfect. The photos were on spot and the layout of the home was perfect for kids to hang out downstairs and adults to chill upstairs. It was very clean and extremely maintained.. it was OUR home for a week. I was also impressed with all the amenities they had in the kitchen as well as the laundry room. We rented a pontoon one day and a Speed boat another day, the booklet full of places of interest was peerfect. We enjoyed tubing in Helen GA. too our husband were only 1.5 hour from NC (Dupont) State park for stellar Mountain Biking. Our kids and ourselves enjoyed the beautiful lake and made great use of the dock and kayaks.. Any question or requests we had were answered promptly, we made a gorgeous photo album of our trip and had a wonderful family vacation. Strongly recommend!

We had a marvelous time at Hartwell Lake Escape! If you do not take relaxation and fun seriously, this is not the place for you. The house itself is comfortable and inviting with plenty of space for both "alone time" to relax and open areas for "family and friends time". We have all ages present -- from 2 to 72 -- and all said the visit was the highlight of the summer. For boaters, the house is in a great locale with a protected cove and close proximity to Harbor Light Marina. The dock is awesome, with plenty of depth, even when the lake is down a little (At our visit, lake was 6' below pool, but depth at dock was still about 13'). In summary, we will be back.

The pictures do not do this property justice. It was very clean, spacious, nicely decorated and the kitchen was very well stocked. The only thing we would do differently is plan on eating in every night. We so enjoyed being on the lake until the last minute and with the grill on the deck it was easy to toss some food on the grill and enjoy the view. We wish it was for sale.

Review Submitted: 06/15/11
We have a large family so finding a place big enough for all of us to stay is a challenge. We were absolutely delighted from the first step into your home. It was better than we immagined, better than the pictures portrayed. All of us were very comfortable. Our grandchildren loved the dock and swam and played for hours. We would love to come again.

Review Submitted: 06/09/11
This lakehouse is a favorite of all our family members -- from 3 yrs to 70 yrs old! The layout fits us perfectly. If it is missing anything, it is an icemaker. We did have to make ice runs each day for ice to put in the cooler we took down to the dock. We usually do all our meals at the house so cannot recommend any eating places.
Owner response:We are so glad to have your family back again this year and happy to hear you had a great week! When we have a full house and high temps, like you did this year, the icemaker in the refrigerator just can’t keep pace. Fortunately, we do have a convenience store that sells ice just a couple of miles down the road. We have found that getting a few extra bags of ice and keeping them in the freezer and a cooler or two works well - and cuts down on trips to the store!

Our whole family had a great time at Hartwell Lake Escape. Great layout for the family. The kids LOVED the game room (especially the basketball game). Rented a boat from Gordon's...enjoyed the lake and the great weather. Overall a great escape from the grind of Atlanta. We will be back.
