Location: Hartwell, Hartwell Lake, Northeast Mountains, Georgia, USA (Atlanta) View Map
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
Enjoy the Fall colors and cooler weather with a stay at our lakeside country retreat. Cuddle up in front of the wood-burning fireplace or relax with our outdoor fire pit.
Families, friends and couples will all enjoy the amenities of the newly renovated three-bedroom, two-bath Whippoorwill Cabin, fewer than 2 hours from downtown Atlanta.
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, freshly painted, also features a deck, perfect for the morning cup of coffee. The Master also has a brand-new flat panel tv and dvd.
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 for summer barbeque's. A hammock offers a relaxing view of the water and green canopy of trees.
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 and the whisper of the ceiling fan the only distraction. Or swimming and relaxing on the dock. Or experiencing the thrill of seeing wild turkey and deer stroll the grounds and ducks and Canada geese paddle by the dock.
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.

Fall is in the Air: How About a Cozy Cabin Retreat? Fireplace!
Year Purchased: 2005
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.
- Five-minute boat ride and car ride from our house - Best place to put your boat in the water for access to our dock
Owner's Map of Hartwell
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!
