Our cove is full! Great swimming and tie up your boat on our dock!
Quiet cove, wooded lot, great lakefront location...take a break from the city and enjoy a country weekend!

Why not relax with family and friends at our cozy cabin and experience all the fun that a lakeside location offers!? Kids love jumping off our dock and paddling around our quiet cove. Enjoy a meal or cocktails on the screened porch; walk in the woods, fish off the dock or rent a boat and explore the Southeast's largest and quietest lake. Do as little or as much as you like!

The newly renovated three-bedroom, two-bath Whippoorwill Cabin, is fewer than 2 hours from downtown Atlanta and 1 hour from Greenville. You'll enjoy the peace and quiet of our rural location...watch Canada geese paddle in the lake or maybe catch a glimpse of wild turkeys or deer from the comfort of the screen porch.

The rustic cabin, decorated in a relaxed country style, features an open floor plan that’s great for entertaining and larger groups. Sliding glass doors across the entire back of the house ensure a panoramic view of woods and the water from the living room, dining room and kitchen. The Master bedroom also features a deck, perfect for the morning cup of coffee. The Master also has a brand-new flat panel television.

All the bedrooms can be closed off for privacy and kids’ earlier bedtimes. The cabin comfortably sleeps 8 (1 King, 1 Queen, and 2 bunk beds).

The outdoor area includes a picnic table and charcoal grill.

A gentle slope takes you down to the dock and shallow kids’ play area (owner’s boat stays in slip but there is room to tie up on the dock). Use of a kayak ensures excellent exploring and fishing in the cove. We are also very close to the big water if you bring your own boat or Jet ski. The house is five minutes from the boat launch at Milltown Campground. (If you need to rent a boat, we can help you with that process.) The property and dock face farmland across the cove so your view is green and natural.

A perfect afternoon might be curling up with a book on the screen porch, surrounded by trees with the sounds of birds.

Other amenities include fully equipped brand-new kitchen with microwave and new dishwasher and refrigerator; new washer and dryer; kid’s toys and games; and selection of books and magazines.

The cabin is 3 miles from a convenience store, five minutes by car from Carter's Ferry Boat Ramp, 10 miles (20 minutes)to historic downtown Hartwell, and 9 miles to Hartwell Marina.

There is a fully refundable security deposit of $250 if no damage. The housekeeping fee is $95. We do welcome pets with a fully refundable pet policy of $200 if no damage.

                    My wife and I brought our dogs Carolina (Chocolate Lab) and Viola (JRT) with us on this "lets get out of town weekend " to get away from work and teenage boys. This cottage is just what the Doctor ordered ! We just lounged around all weekend long and our dogs loved what little water there was in the Lake. Such a beautifull home. Thank you. Brian and Teri

                    We had a wonderful time at this quiet lakeside cabin. It is very roomy, comfortable and well cared for. The location is on a quiet cove and really gives you time to relax with the family and enjoy beautiful lake Hartwell.

                    Your house was perfect for our trip. It was exactly the way you presented it on VRBO. It is very comfortable and homey. It is obvious that you and your husband think about all the little things, and that is reflected in the lake house. We appreciate that. You should be proud of what you have created. Thanks again, and we will definitely keep your property in mind the next time we want to get away to have some quiet and relaxed time in a beautiful setting.

                    Our stay was awesome...I am still smiling! The lake house was clean, loved the open floor plan, and we were able to bring our dog. So relaxing and a much needed retreat for Pekka and myself. We both feel refreshed and renewed...we plan on coming here again!

                    Our family spent Thanksgiving week at Whippoorwill Cabin and it was the cure for a very hectic Fall! Quiet, beauty and everything we could possibly need in the cabin. From having a fire with coffee on cool mornings to sunning on the deck in the warm afternoons, we can't wait to go back. It was a big part of our holiday to have our dog with us, and I was worried that a dog-friendly cabin would be, well, kinda doggy. Happily, Whippoorwill was anything but. It was clean as a pin, and our dog had a great time, too.

                    My wife and I had a wonderful, peaceful time at your cabin. Everything was as listed, very clean and comfortable. The owners were very accomodating to work with, and we couldn't have asked for more. Thanks for a great week.

                    We had a great time at this beautiful cabin. The floor plan was very open and perfect for our girls + kids weekend. The kids bunkbed room was perfect as were the toys and movies. The big porch was great for wine night and we all had a great time lounging in the lake during the day. Thanks again!

                    My family came into town to visit and we were looking to get out of Atlanta. This house is a perfect get away!! Everything you could possibly need is there waiting for you. The rooms are perfect! I really liked the open floor plan. We had an amazing time!! Not to mention had a BLAST on the dock fishing and kayaking!! Truly a vacation to remember!! The owner Stephanie is lovely and is extremely helpful. Definitely a DO !!

                    We have just returned from a lovely long weekend at whippoorwill cabin. The cabin was perfectly suited for our family of teens and a small dog. We enjoyed the dock and kayak and loved the quiet location. It was very relaxing for the adults with plenty to do for the kids. The directions were very clear which was so helpful since the property not right off the main road. We would definitely come again.

                  Owner info

                  Year Purchased: 2005

                  About the owner: We bought this cabin so that our little girls would have an escape from the city to experience nature and the country. After purchasing the house, we quickly renovated it, adding the living room and master bedroom so that we could have friends and family stay with us. We hope that you will enjoy our cabin as much as we do!

                  Why the Owner Chose Hartwell:
                  Lake Hartwell has the unique combination of easy accessibility to major metropolitan areas and a quiet, remote location. Even on major holidays, such as July 4th, you feel like the lake is your private playground since there are so few people!

                  The Unique Benefits at this House:
                  We love our quiet cove! There is no need to worry about jetski or boat traffic near our dock so kids can swim and relax without worries. The gently graded and short walk from our house to our dock makes the transport of coolers, towels and supplies an easy task. Our lot is wooded so you have lots of privacy. We renovated and decorated our home for a lakeside feel with fishing prints and country antiques. We love to cook so our newly renovated kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to make a memorable meal! The wood-burning fireplace makes for a cozy getaway in the Fall and Winter as well.
