So neat and clean..the kitchen is great and has everything you need to eat in and make all your family’s favorite meals! The cove is quiet and fun to swim in. Great dock for boat and fishing off of...we caught a few big ones! We will be back for sure!

Perfect

Date of Stay: 05/12/11 Review Submitted: 06/30/11

This home turned out to be the perfect place to celebrate graduations from Clemson (and USC)! It's clean, set up great for entertaining, and worked well with all ages - from young cousins to grandparents. The steps to the lake are steep tho', so children need to be watched carefully, and some elderly or those with some disabilities may not be able to go down; but the owner was honest about that to begin with, so that was not a problem. And speaking of the owner, he was extremely helpful, honest, and responsive. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone.

Wedding Getaway

Guest: Jen (Greenville, SC)
Date of Stay: 05/01/11 Review Submitted: 06/09/11

Eight of my family members came from Florida, Michigan, and Indiana for my wedding. It was the best decision ever to rent this home for them! They stayed for one week (I stayed a little too) and had such a good time at the lake and in the house. It made their stay very pleasant and so affordable. I had such a wonderful experience with this first rental off of vrbo.com that I will be staying at this same spot again for sure! Thanks!

Owner response:We were honored to have our home part of your momentous occasion and we're happy it was everything you expected. Congratulations to you newlyweds!

Amazing family getaway

Guest: Roger (Myrtle Beach SC)
Date of Stay: 04/29/11 Review Submitted: 05/03/11

Beautiful home with all amenities in an area that is secluded from others, yet close to town and attractions. The house is perfect with comfortable beds, furnishings, and a large kitchen. The deck overlooks the lake, and the boatdock. The dock is great for fishing, swimming, or just lounging in the sun with your feet in the water. Our group had a very relaxing weekend, and hope to return again soon.

Absolutely Breathtaking

Date of Stay: 12/31/10 Review Submitted: 05/03/11

My husband and I and another couple spent New Years Eve Weekend at this lovely home. What a wonderful way to bring in the New Year. The home is just gorgeous and the view of the lake from the back deck was absolutely beautiful. The perfect place to sit and drink your morning coffee, read a book, or just think. The home was spotless and very tastefully decorated and the kitchen very well appointed. If we needed it, it was available. You can tell that the owners take great pride in their property. It was too cold to take in all the fun the lake has to offer, but I can't wait to return in the spring or summer to go fishing, boating, etc. I will definitely return to this lakeside jewel!!

Fantastic Vacation

Date of Stay: 07/07/10 Review Submitted: 07/28/10

July 2010 - This was a great lake home, and we could not have asked for a better vacation. The home had plenty of space, was well appointed, well kept and very clean. The cove that the house sits on was perfect for swimming and our kids spent so much time in the water I think they grew fins. The location was great, and it was easy to get to from the interstate. It is convenient to so much that the area has to offer, and the owners we’re very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. A definite 10

Perfect Vacation Rental for the Family

Guest: Donna C. (Arlington, Texas)
Date of Stay: 06/26/10 Review Submitted: 07/04/10

This property was everything we hoped to find. The decor and furnishings were very nice and comfortable for the family. We enjoyed the two living areas for the extended family to spread out. The kitchen is quite big and well appointed for all our needs. Lake Hartwell is one of the greatest lakes you could wish for if you are a fisherman or if you love water sports. We brought our own boat and enjoyed boating up to Clemson one day, docking at the public access dock and walking to the local restaurants for a little lunch. We also enjoyed sushi dinner at Nami's. The week was perfect with the exception of the fairly dangerous steps joining the house and the beautiful dock. Be warned that you would not want to be out on the lake after dark because of the steps going up to the house. We would like to see an improved system of trail and steps leading up the steep incline though not a show stopper for us. You will love the porches that have great furnishings to relax and enjoy the great outdoors.

Owner response:Thanks for the tip! We have now installed lighting at the steps for safety. We love to hear suggestions that make our place the best choice for your vacation!

Lake Hartwell Property

Date of Stay: 05/06/10 Review Submitted: 05/12/10

This is an amazing property! Not only is it very spacious,charming and white glove clean it is very easy to find. The owners are extremely gracious and very easy to work with. We are hoping to go back to enjoy the lake and all it has to offer. We rented the property for Clemson graduations and the drive was no problem. My family gives this house a AAA rating! I just hope it is available the next time we visit the Clemson area.

Wonderful vacation home!Two thumbs way up! J. & J.. Asheville, NC. Date of Stay: August 2009 This is a lovely and roomy lake house. The layout was perfect for our group of nine. It is well-maintained and very clean. The beds are quite comfy and everything was new! It is beautifully decorated and they have a well-equipped kitchen. The owners provided a notebook with information about the property and the surrounding areas. They even printed out maps to grocery stores, restaurants, the marina and provided maps of Lake Hartwell. There are steps down to the covered dock. There is a small fenced-in back yard and doggy door for pets--perfect for our little dog. They have satellite TV with lots of channels--both upstairs and down. We didn't watch much, though. We were too busy having fun on the lake! We grilled every night but the last one when we went to Anderson and had a yummy dinner at the Olive Garden. We'd love to return. I would highly recommend it to friends.

Owner response:We had vacationed on Lake Hartwell several times prior to purchasing our vacation home, so we know what it's like to be from out of town and need local information. We spent alot of time making sure the details were covered and it really makes your vacation more enjoyable. If you're not sure what all the area offers, we're always glad to discuss your vacation with you and help you fully enjoy all that upstate SC has to offer.....and it's alot!

This is a wonderful house. We felt like we were staying at one of our own family members vacation home. The house is very clean and homey. The owners did not over look any details including information on nearby surroundings. We were very happy with our stay.

April 2009 - We LOVED staying at the house over Easter weekend (4 nights). Everything was so clean and new! The house is beautifully furnished, very spacious and comfortable; plenty of room for our family of 4. It is 25 minutes from Clemson University and really easy access to and from the interstate. Quiet and pretty wooded lot on lake; we liked hanging out on the back porch. We will definitely be return visitors and highly recommend this property.

Owner response:Another happy family! We love to hear that! The home is very roomy, We've also had families of 8 and 10 who have found the home very comfortable. We're also excited that everyone that has stayed at our home can't wait to come back!
