A note from your hosts:

Ryan and I believe a vacation home should feel personal, comfortable, and easy to enjoy—not overly formal or fussy. We have created It’s A Great Dam View as a place where families can settle in quickly and focus on what they came for: a true summer week at the lake. For more than 10 years, we've been welcoming families to Lake Hartwell, and hoping it becomes the week your family talks about forever.

Bring your favorite people, settle into lake life, and enjoy a full week with nowhere else to be. Send us an inquiry if you have any questions.

Cheers to lake life fun!
Ryan and Jordan

About the host

Host profile image

We purchased the property as a way to unwind after a busy week at our full time jobs. Time seems to pass by slowly at the Cottage, and we enjoy soaking up the lake memories with our family. The Cottage is a rustic home that we have poured our hearts into renovating. The Cottage isn't the Ritz-Carlton, but there's something wonderfully romantic and charming about it that leaves the soul so satisfied!

Why they chose this property

The lot sold us from the minute we stepped onto the property. We knew we'd be doing some renovating, but you can't find lakefront lots like this one. While we do have neighbors, you won't notice they're there. Our lot feels so long and wide that we truly have a spot on the lake that's our own. There are no homes across the cove from us, and we can sit on our front porch without noticing any other activity from other homeowners. The view is absolutely amazing!

What makes this property unique

Expansive grassy lakeside yard
Unmatched views of the dam all the way across the dock
Charming and cozy home
Lots of hammocks to relax the day away
2 single-person kayaks
2 stand up paddle boards
Two story dock with power access
Yard games
