This property was great! It was well-represented by photos & descriptions listed on the VRBO site. We’ve never had an easier check-in/check-out process. We enjoyed our time there and were happy to be able to bring along our pet. It’s a beautiful area for sure!

Lake weekend

This was the perfect place for a weekend getaway with our son and his friend, and our dog. The house was clean and stocked with all the essentials. The owners are so friendly and responsive. The covered dock is perfect for a day on the lake, and if you are a sunrise person be sure to get your coffee and walk down to watch it…perfect location for sunrise over the water.

Terrific

We recognized the place as soon as we saw it. I asked the host about getting in early if possible and they were very accommodating and we got in 2 hours early. The place was very clean inside. Also not too far from town. The covered dock is always a plus and plenty of parking. If you’re looking it is definitely worth it.

Family time on the lake

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was well stocked and very clean. We brought our boat, the covered slip was great to have. Plenty of room to park our trailer, and the boat ramp was about a mile away. Our kids and dog enjoyed swimming and paddle boarding ( we brought our own paddle board) off the dock.

The home was great. We brought our boat and the covered slip was such a plus. Boat ramp was very convenient and only about a mile away. Hopefully we are going to go again next year!! Good grocery in Hartwell
