About this property
Make memories at the lake!
Memories are made at Lake Hartwell. Come enjoy our home on a quiet cove in the Gumlog community just 10 minutes off of I-85 @ exit 173 in GA. Our fully furnished 3 BR/2 bath home sleeps 8 and boasts a large deck spanning the entire length of the home, looking out onto the lake. There is ample space for grilling on the gas grill, relaxing, and enjoying family and friends. There is a gentle sloping yard for outdoor games with a long meandering footpath that slopes down to the covered dock, leading to hours of lake activities. The driveway provides plenty of parking.
Our dock will accommodate your boat and the Franklin County Boat ramp is just 1 mile away. Harbor Light Marina is just a 7 mile drive away where boat rental is available. Close by are the quaint towns of historic Lavonia and Hartwell where you will find a variety of shops and restaurants.
Other nearby activities include Tugaloo State Park, just a 9 min drive or a short paddle across the cove. Lake Hartwell State Park is just across the SC state line and a 17 min ride.
Tallulah Falls and North GA hiking trails are within a 1 hour drive of our home.
We are just about 30 minutes from shopping at Tangier Outlet Mall(south) or Anderson, SC(north), and 1 hour from the up and coming town of Greenville where there are many great restaurants and shops.
But best of all, if you are coming to the area for a Clemson football game, graduation, or parent’s weekend, this would be a great place to put your feet up. We have a large TV in the main room with access to our YouTube TV streaming service, as well as the TV in the master, for watching the games. It is a 34 mile/42 minute drive to Clemson if you are headed to the Campus.
This is a pet free/smoke free home and we ask that there be no large parties.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The house was wonderful. Plenty of room. We appreciated being able to do a load of laundry instead of trying to pack dirty clothes. It was a peaceful place and I will definitely keep in mind if I go back to that area again.
This was our 2nd family get together at this location and it was just as great as the first time we stayed. Kitchen literally has everything you need to prep and cook meals, beds are very comfy, the teens really enjoyed the enclosed porch and bunk room and the dock for fishing they caught a catfish the last night we stayed.
Clean, well maintained property in a great location. The kids enjoyed fishing off the dock and using the kayaks and the screened porch was perfect for relaxing. Would definitely stay here again!
The house was very nice and perfect for our family! Easy to the boat ramp, ample parking, comfortable beds and couches! We wan to come back in the spring. Lovely neighborhood
Absolutely loved everything about this home! Weather was not perfect, but with the back deck and screened in porch, it was still very enjoyable. caught some fish and watched wildlife from back deck.

Absolutely Beautiful property, location and fantastic hosts
Host were very communicative and helpful throughout our stay. The property was very clean and met all our needs. Would recommend to anyone in the area.
The house was very comfortable, clean and well-equiped with cooking utensils, etc. The walk to the lake was a bit of a trek for an 80 year old with a bad leg, but not bad. The walkway was clean and make the slope manageable. The dock was very nice! Loved the swing and seating on the dock. Would definitely rent again.
Great place to stay! Very clean and comfortable. Boat ramp nearby is very easy to get to.
Great getaway lake house! Very well appointed, clean, wifi, screened deck was nice. Neighbors are nice and has a dock with power! Definitely will stay again!
