Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jeff and Sarah Arvin
We fell in love with lake life after moving to the South from San Francisco in the early 2000s. Having spent summers at a family lake house growing up, enjoying waterskiing, wakeboarding, and fishing, it was only natural that we sought out our own retreat to continue that tradition. Missing the water activities we had loved in the Bay Area, we found the perfect escape at Lake Hartwell—a serene getaway where we could relax, entertain, and make lifelong memories with family and friends. We take pride in offering a warm, welcoming space for our guests to experience the joys of lakeside living, whether it's boating, exploring Clemson, or simply unwinding by the fire pit.
Why they chose this property
We knew we had found something special when we discovered this property. The expansive “big water” views immediately drew us in, providing a breathtaking backdrop for relaxation and recreation. Situated on a quiet point lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, the home offers privacy, tranquility, and direct lake access—everything we wanted in a lake retreat. Additionally, being just minutes from Clemson University was a huge plus, making it the perfect spot for game day weekends and family gatherings. Whether enjoying a peaceful morning by the dock or cheering on the Tigers, this home provides the best of both worlds!
