This charming, fully equipped home on Lake Hartwell was perfect for our family Thanksgiving! The property is beautiful and the views inside the house of the woods and lake make this a special place. Without a doubt, the sweetest and most welcoming hosts of any VRBO we have ever rented.

Wonderful stay at Lakefront Oasis

We were so lucky to find this gem of a property. Louise was so gracious the entire stay and we felt at home. The property itself is spectacular with views of Lake Hartwell, lots of land, and access to the dock. We enjoyed spending our mornings and evenings on the front porch and loved the large windows throughout the home. The bedrooms were spacious and there was plenty of space for our family. Our teen boys enjoyed swimming in the lake and exploring the property. Highly recommend and we will most definitely be back!

Beautiful property!

We had an amazing time in this lake house. The inside is so open and all of the windows make it so bright and fun. We rented a pontoon boat and went swimming off the dock as well. Everything was clean and there’s plenty of sleeping room. We’ll be back!

Mid-Century Panoramic Stunner

Hand's down the most beautiful property we've ever rented. Well cared for mid-century home overflowing with charm, and furnished with every amenity you could hope for. GORGEOUS panoramic lakeside views on an expansive property made us feel like we had the lake to ourselves. Our hosts were very responsive to our questions and made us feel welcome. Definitely on the return visit list!

Great As Always

This has been the 3rd summer our family has vacationed at the Lakehouse! As always, we couldn’t be more happy with the WHOLE experience of relaxation when we are there! We can’t get enough of the panoramic views, boat rides, fishing, dock swims, cookouts, etc. ALL the fun things and more! Mrs. Louise is such a kind, courteous host who checks to make sure all is well. We are already excited about next summer😉
