Kevin and Jon were amazing hosts. Quick to respond regarding any questions. This home was perfect for our family vacation Everything you would need has been provided. Was enjoyed by allages from 9-67!Home was spotless and location can’t be beat.
Kevin was an AMAZING host and his communication with us was SPOT ON and very timely!!! The property was stunning and we absolutely loved the very well-equipped kitchen where we prepared every meal from scratch!!! The pool was used and enjoyed every day of our stay and we also had a lot of fun in the game room with the ping pong table. Although this trip was solely for some R&R with just my husband and I.....it would be highly recommended for families or couples wanting to get away with a lot of space!!THANK YOU KEVIN for all that you did to help me have an AMAZING bday get away with my husband...mission accomplished!!!
Host was very welcoming and everything was great! The house is fully equipped and ready for multiple families to stay there! The teens love the game room and upstairs bunk room. The adults enjoy the stocked kitchen, laundry room and outside area. The kids also enjoyed the hot tub. Thanks for another great stay at your beautiful home! We will be back!
Amazing property. House was just as described in the listing and we couldn't have had a better time. The owner was quick to answer any questions we had during our stay and couldn't have been nicer. 10/10. Will definitely be our first choice when in the Hartwell area again.
The property was divine and perfect for our 3 high school graduates celebration. We enjoyed the outdoor grill and seating areas. The pool was great and the area was private and peaceful!
The property was amazing! Perfect for hosting a large family! The views were gorgeous from the house overlooking the pool and the lake! The accommodations were clean, open Spaces for large gatherings, and the outdoor area was phenomenal! Loved having the pool to keep us cool in the hot weather and when we were not on a boat! The owners were helpful if we needed anything, and the communication was very clear ! Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time at this home! It’s just a special place and the perfect lake getaway! The Kitchen is stocked and well prepared for big families. The teens loved the kayaks, the game room and the kid sleeping room on the second floor. They have their own private areas. We all loved the pool and the patio. It was an amazing family vacation! We will be back!
Wow! Don’t overlook this knockout gem. This lakehouse is perfect for responsible families or groups looking for a lovely getaway with top-notch amenities. Our 2-day graduation celebration, during our 3-night stay, was a complete success! The property is incredibly spacious and thoughtfully designed, offering both cozy, shared gathering areas and private spaces to relax and recharge. The hosts truly exceeded expectations by providing great communication and the various essentials needed for a carefree visit — no multiple trips to the store required. One of my favorite highlights of the home was the saltwater pool, especially bc it ACTUALLY HAS A DEEP END! (Unlike many other rentals that advertise use of their pool, but have disappointing water depths of about 4 ft). No more wading in less than 2 ft of water with all the kiddies! It was nice to unwind, cook on the grill (gas), and entertain our guests at such a comfortable place with the simple touches already furnished. Other standout features:• Stunning lake views that bring a peaceful start to every morning• A fun-filled playroom that kept both kids and young adults entertained for hours• Plenty of extra bedding and seating for large groups• Luxurious, yet welcoming accents throughout the home that made our stay even more enjoyableOur family would absolutely return for another visit! We highly recommend this charm for graduations/celebrations, family get-togethers, or a serene retreat away from everyday-life stressors.

Had a great time! My whole family was there. The home is beautiful! We enjoyed everything so much. I was able to communicate with the owner if I had questions.
Beautiful property and use of lake Hartwell. The house was perfect size for us with a relaxing pool and entertaining space. Felt like home for us while we were there. Kevin was easy to communicate with. Lake Hartwell was beautiful and we will be back!
We really enjoyed the quiet of the location, the house was amazing and exceptionally clean. Kevin was very attentive to questions which came up and quick to answer any questionswe had. We will be looking to come back and relax. Thank you for a very nice quiet getaway!!
This house is absolutely amazing. Exceeded our expectations. Cleanest property and best stocked kitchen we have ever stayed in with VRBO. The pool and hot tub most enjoyable and the view from the lake shore was beautiful! The host was very easy to communicate with and always answered in a timely manner. We look forward to another stay here in our future.
This is an impressive, spacious property with innumerable amenities, including the little touches that add to its enjoyment. Enjoy the pool with diving board, as it’s a rare treat these days.
My family and I stayed for an extended weekend as we celebrated my son's graduation from Clemson. The house was beautiful and well maintained. Plenty of space for our 6 person family.
