Hartwell Lake Georgia Home Rental

Aloha and welcome to Hartwell Heaven and the Surf Shack! This charming cottage-style lake home on Lake Hartwell comes with a detached carriage house (our super groovy Hawaiian-themed Surf Shack, complete with TIKI BAR, air hockey and foosball) Perfect for family vacations. A covered dock with a 26 ft. slip rests just outside the back door -- perfect spot for your boat, or we can help you arrange a pontoon delivery from a nearby marine center -- right to our dock! Less than 10 minutes by boat to Hartwell Marina for refueling. NOW ACCEPTING RESERVATIONS FOR SUMMER '09 - book now and have your pick of weeks for next year. House is one house off-point -- terrific water views!

Classic Grumman 17 ft (3 person) canoe and two pedal boats are included in your rental!!! NEW FOR 2008 - Rent our hydrobike (the only one we have seen on the lake!) and explore our coves! High-Speed Internet connection, 6Mbps (connect three ways: wireless G, USB and ethernet (network interface card)). Bring your laptop and check your e-mails after your ski run. Two exterior decks on either side of the house, and a large screened-in porch overlook the lake -- a great way to begin or end the day. Both decks have seating areas, one has a stainless propane grill.

Our quiet, emerald-colored no-wake cove is perfect for protected swimming and for the avid fisherman. The adjacent cove is large enough for water sports -- and stays smooth (the little ones can learn to ski and tube here) when the rest of the lake is choppy! Stone/timber walkway to the dock, new bumpers on the dock, light pole and water supply at dock. Beachy fire pit area with split log seating. Tree swing (make your kids push you!).

MAIN HOUSE - 3BR, 2 1/2 BA. Bookshelves in the foyer are stocked with games, puzzles, books, magazines, even a pair of walkie-talkies for the kids to use (good way to keep tabs on them in the Surf Shack). Spacious master features king bed, walk-in closet, cable tv/dvd, private tiled bathroom with tub/shower) and Company Store bedding.

Two additional bedrooms have connecting full bath (with large shared closet area) and feature queen beds (with designer bedding and hypoallergenic mattress toppers) -- both open onto the screened porch with exceptional lake views. One bedroom has tv/dvd. Kitchen features ample cabinet space, plenty of tableware, flatware, blender, microwave, even a griddle for those pancake breakfasts everyone loves.

Family room (lake view) features woodburning "Buck" stove, sleeper sofa and two recliners; sunroom (lake view) features two sofas (one is a sleeper sofa), and two lazy boy recliners -- everyone will have a place to curl up and relax, plus tv with cable, dvd/mp3 player!

Half bath adjacent to the kitchen area. Huge laundry area. The cottage is complete with everything a family needs, and more. Dock is about 50 paces (very gradual grade) from the deck (very close corp line!). Excellent swimming off the dock -- expanded side area with colorful adirondack styled chairs -- plenty of space to bring a cooler down and set up for the day. Very little boat traffic, so the kids stay safe while swimming and you won't get sea sick from the dock moving all day!

THE SURF SHACK - Our Hawaiian-themed detached carriage house sleeps 5 people in beds (3 singles and a full futon) (plus 4 additional sleeping mats for overflow if you need them!). Approx. 700 square feet of heated/air conditioned living space. The surf shack has two levels -- main level has living area with a surfboard-themed futon, a kitchenette featuring an over the top "tiki" bar, sink, mini fridge, microwave/toaster oven; game area has air hockey, foosball, wall mount tv/dvd, hawaiian and surfer-themed board games and loads of cool retro hawaiian touches like vintage posters, mid-century bamboo furniture, carved tikis, surf boards, all of which will have you feeling like you are on the Big Island!!

Upstairs is a Hawaiian themed full tiled bath (lake views) and a very fun sleeping area with three twin beds done in comfy PB Wahine bedding, complete with grass bedskirts. Sleeping area has another tv/dvd, this one with a gaming system. A second story deck off the back of the Surf Shack completes the picture -- perfect to walk out and enjoy the view as you plan your day of fun at the lake (check our the REAL surfboard mounted on the side of the Shack)!
