Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose MartinWe love the North Georgia area and enjoy spending our free weekends on Lake Hartwell. Martin, GA is just far enough away, that we can drive it easily in under 2 hrs., but feel like we are really getting away from the city. The house gives us the mountain feel, with the bonus of the lake to enjoy.
The Unique Benefits at this HouseTwo of our favorite things our family enjoys are frog/toad catching and berry picking in the spring, when the tiny frogs are everywhere and the wild blackberries are abundant. The kids love to fish and explore and go on scavenger hunts. Fall is our favorite time to spend up there with cooler weather, bonfires, and the leaves changing colors. For water fun, we enjoy pedal boating, skiing, and wakeboarding, but mostly just tying up to our friends' boats and hanging out/swimming in the water.
Lone Star has red roof and red roof boat dock, on the point at the edge of the cove.
2 lane double boat launch with bathroom facilities. Bring $3 cash for parking pass to put in envelope that goes in an unstaffed box.
Single lane, no charge boat launch, a bit torn up with pot holes, but still usable and nice part of lake.

Lone Star Family: We are a family of 5 from Alpharetta, GA (Atlanta), about 1.5 hours away. Ed and Megan, originally from Texas, named the lake house after their home state. We have 3 kids, ages 11, 7, and 2; as well as 2 small dogs, so the house is definitely kid and pet friendly.

I met friends at this wonderful cabin for a weekend get together. We had such a wonderful time! The home has everything you would need for a vacation getaway. Comfy beds, wonderful clean accomodations, beautiful view, quiet location. The weather was perfect for wine by the firepit at night and coffee on the covered porch in the morning. I would highly recommend this secluded get away!
Owner response:We are so happy you enjoyed our home! We hope you will come back for another visit the next time you want to get away. Thank you again for choosing to stay at Lone Star!

My extended family had a wonderful time at the Lone Star Lake House on Lake Hartwell as we wanted to find a large cabin on the lake while in town attending both the Clemson University and Toccoa Falls College graduations. The home truly exceeded all of our expectations! It was beautifully decorated, clean and had all the modern conveniences of home. The weather was beautiful during our stay and we spent a lot of time enjoying the large porch on the back of the house that overlooks the lake while our sons had a wonderful time on the paddleboat. I would definitely recommend staying at the Lone Star Lake House. In fact, we hope to plan a return trip in the future!

Relaxing Weekend on the Lake

The house, location, and view were terrific. There is a boat launch less than 10 minutes away and a marina to rent pontoon boats about 25 minutes away. We grilled on the huge deck and made s'mores in the fire pit. The street and portion of the lake were very private. And we LOVED the fact that the house was pet friendly!

Our group stayed during the New Years Holiday of 2010-2011. This cabin was beautiful and very clean! The pictures provided are very accurate and reflected the cabins apperance, and ammenities. Great back porch and even better screened in back porch. The bedrooms, and common area were very nice as well. The communication between the owner was great before, during and after the trip. There were not that many actvities other than the lake but that is the purpose of a getaway. I recommend this cabin to anyone who is looking for a weekend getaway or longer. I can speak for our group when I say we will definatley keep this cabin in mind for our future getaways.

Wonderful Lake/Mountain Cabin

The best of both worlds... our family of 5 had the opportunity to stay in this adorable home for a long weekend. The mountain feel is unbelievable along with the lake access makes the combo priceless..... The cabin is very nicely decorated and the decks are excellent for relaxing. We are thinking of coming back and this time bring some friends to rent the adjacent cabins and have a big get together with the privacy of our own cabin! Thanks to both Ed and Megan for their hospitality!
