"LOCAL RENTALS managed by LOCAL FOLKS since 1993".

In 1993, along with my wife, I left my Engineering Position with a company in the NorthEast Atlanta area and moved to the Lake Hartwell area where we began "MOUNTAIN LAKES VACATION RENTALS". The cheese has been moving constantly snce then. The Engineering background has enabled us to keep up with these changes.

****************************************************************************************************************

We have been fortunate to be able to find quality employees who all live on or near Lake Hartwell. We have developed our own Web Site and also a Smart Phone friendly web site. We now list our rentals on several commercial sites such as VRBO and Lakehouse.com as well as working closely with local Chambers and both the Georgia and South Carolina tourism agencies.

OUR PRICES ARE ALWAYS EQUAL or LOWER:

If you find the same house available the same dates, advertised at a lower price, show us the ad and we will match it. We accept any standard form of payment including most major credit cards. Always be wary of prices quoted on the internet that seem 'Too good to be true'

*****************************************************************************************************************

RENTAL GUARANTEE:

We automatically guarantee our rentals and you don't pay any extra fee.

****************************************************************************************************************

NO SURPRISE CHARGES:

Some agencies and/or owners have an extra charge for just about everything. Some even charge extra to furnish linens. With Mountain Lakes there are NO hidden mandatory charges.

****************************************************************************************************************

OUR NO FAULT SATISFACTION PROMISE:

Should you arrive and find that the home you chose it is not right for you FOR ANY REASON, we will arrange for you to transfer to another available home with no moving charges. All we ask is that you call us within 2 hours of your arrival.

CLEANING FEES:

Most rentals 'By Owner' add a cleaning fee of $50-$150, with Mountain Lakes the cleaning is always included in the published price.

****************************************************************************************************************

EXTRA FEES: We have NO automatic mandatory charges.

PETS: In many of our houses (But not all) you have the option of bringing along your pet. We do charge extra for pets. Generally the charge is $75 per pet plus tax. Pets are usually limited to two per house. Be sure to inquire about bringing pets to the house you are renting. AND please be sure to tell us that you are bringing a pet when you make the reservation.

GARBAGE: We ask that you take your trash out when you leave. For many of our guests, it is routine to throw their trash bags in their boat when they are leaving the lake. If this is not convenient for you, feel free to leave the trash bags for the maid to take. If you do so, we ask that you leave the maid a suggested tip of $5 per bag.

*****************************************************************************************************************

SALES TAX:

Both GA & SC place the burden of paying Sales and Accommodations Taxes on the consumer, whether or not these taxes are collected by the Cabin Owner. We collect and pay these taxes so you don't have to. Taxes range from 7% to 12% depending on location and are INCLUDED in our posted rate. You will never get a bill “Out of the blue” for unpaid taxes on our rentals.
