Very clean quaint little house. Everything was provided that you could possibly need for cooking/cleaning. The view is beautiful and I was able to bring my boat- the location has a nice covered dock. Great location- about 7 min (by boat) to the Harbor light south marina and the restaurant located on site (great margaritas). We had a great time and will stay here again in the future! Thanks
It was a gorgeous Saturday!

Amazing Weekend Getaway

Very impressed with the property and the folks who hosted. We had booked this property after another trip fell through and we were glad it did. I highly recommend staying at this property if youre looking for privacy, upgraded amenities, relaxation, and access to some of the best fishing in the southeast.

House had everything you need for a wonderful stay. Walk down to the water wasn't as steep as some places on the lake, but not concrete. Owner was extremely responsive - and pleasant to work with. ENJOYED the 9 days!

A Relaxing Vacation

We liked the location on the lake as it was away from the boat traffic, yet close to kayak to Poplar Springs park, and a nearby island. The house had everything we needed. We loved sitting out on the deck, and viewing the lake from the bedroom and living room.

Lovely time at Cheerful cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the dock and the view to the open water of Lake Hartwell, and the home itself was very nice, plenty of room and comfortable. Would certainly recommend it for others' enjoyment!

Comfy cottage on a Lake

We had a spectacular time staying in this cottage. Nicely decorated and ultra clean. The host is spectacular. Just “siitin’ on the dock of the lake”was just what we needed.

Wonderful girls weekend getaway

We had a wonderful relaxing mom's getaway. The beds were super comfortable and house was clean, welcoming and comfortable. We rented a boat from Harbor Light Marina (excellent experience) just a short ride from the property. Peace of Pie (pizza, sandwiches, etc.) was amazing and also a short ride. We hope to rent again for a future weekend!
