Gorgeous Double-Slip New Dock - Quiet Cove - Fire Pit & Screened Porch

The new 2-slip dock is all yours to enjoy!

This home, nestled in the woods, is located in a quiet, rural cover. Perfect for friends and family of all ages and their four-legged pals.

Pet friendly! We do welcome pets with a flat fee of $25 per pet/per stay. Strict 3-dog limit.

One-week minimum over July 4th

A gentle slope takes you down to the dock and shallow kids’ play area. We are also very close to the big water if you bring your own boat or Jet ski.

Swim in our cove, fish off the dock, moor your boat or jet ski on our dock or just enjoy a meal or drinks on the screened porch. Two-person kayak provided for your enjoyment!

All the bedrooms can be closed off for privacy and kids’ earlier bedtimes. The cabin comfortably sleeps 8 (1 King, 1 Queen, and 2 bunk beds).

We are approximately 1 hour & 45 minutes from downtown Atlanta, 1 hour from Greenville and 1 hour from Clemson.

The outdoor area includes Adirondack chairs, a fire pit and charcoal grill.

The cabin is five minutes by car from Carter's Ferry Boat Ramp, 10 miles (20 minutes) to historic downtown Hartwell, and 9 miles to Hartwell Marina.

We had a fabulous stay in the cottage in the woods! The home was comfortable and easy to “live” in. We had everything we needed, but don’t forget to bring all essentials for the bathroom, these are not provided. Everything was clean and the open floor plan was awesome for hanging out and visiting with everyone. The screened in porch was perfect for sitting and reading (or napping) and the lake area was beautiful and open and perfect for swimming or chilling out on the dock. Our two little Chiweenies also enjoyed their stay! We will most definitely stay again!

Great lake house with plenty of space. Easy walk to dock. Really quiet but not far to paddle out to main lake. Very comfortable. Screened porch is awesome at night. About 20 min drive to main town and stores. Would stay again.

If looking for a nice quite cove just for some peace & quite or for the kids to play without worrying about boats & wake then this is the place! The house was clean and spacious! Loved the screened in porch! Dock was nice & roomy. We had a great weekend! Only negative they don’t have garbage pickup you have to take your garbage with you. We will diffidently stay there again.

Another great week on Lake Hartwell

Whipporwhill cabin was a great setting for another week at Lake Hartwell! The house is comfortable, clean, and well supplied with everything we needed to prepare meals, do laundry, etc. The location is convenient to town/ shopping, and the deep water was perfect for boating.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie McCaa

Host profile image
We bought this cabin so that our little girls would have an escape from the city to experience nature and the country. After purchasing the house, we quickly renovated it, adding the living room and master bedroom so that we could have friends and family stay with us.

We hope that you will enjoy our cabin as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Lake Hartwell has the unique combination of easy accessibility to major metropolitan areas and a quiet, remote location. Even on major holidays, such as July 4th, you feel like the lake is your private playground since there are so few people!

What makes this property unique

We love our quiet cove! It's a no-wake zone so there is almost zero jetski or boat traffic near our dock so kids can swim and play.

The gently graded and short walk from our house to our dock makes the transport of coolers, towels and supplies an easy task.

Our lot is wooded so you have lots of privacy.

We renovated and decorated our home for a lakeside feel with fishing prints and country antiques. We love to cook so our newly renovated kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to make a memorable meal!

The wood-burning fireplace makes for a cozy getaway in the Fall and Winter as well.

Owner is a licensed realtor in Georgia.
