Our Lake Hartwell custom built home is located in a gated private 3 home community with a park like setting that is truly spectacular. Upon arriving at 'Heartwell Heaven', you will notice an beautiful custom craftsman style home with lake views for miles, a gentle slope to the water and a gorgeous park like setting where kids can run and play. The flat front yard is a great place where families can play volleyball, badminton or corn hole while others can relax on the rocking chair front porch with a cold drink.
Another favorite thing about our property is that it is less than 7 minutes off I-85 which makes it so convenient. For college fans, you can get to Clemson in 30 minutes and UGA in 45 minutes. Our priority when building our home was to have an upscale home with all of the niceties, have deep water and amazing view, and be less than 2 hours from Atlanta, GA one way, and Greenville, SC the other.
Our dock is situated on deep water year round so put on your suits and jump right off. Though we are situated on deep water, we are also near a cove so the high speed boats are never an issue. We just got a brand new large boat dock with 2 slips. Our Malibu boat is on a lift in one slip and our 24' pontoon in the second slip (available for rent), but you are welcome to tie up your personal boat on the side of the dock. There is plenty of space. We have 2 kayaks, a Lilly pad, a large tube, ropes, some water floats, water ski's, a wakeboard and much more. Bring your sunscreen and fishing gear for a full lake experience.
As you enter the front door you will be greeted with spectacular views of Lake Hartwell from the entire main level. The home has many extra amenities for your comfort such as granite countertops, upscale appliances including a food warmer, 2 refrigerators, a full sized washer and dryer, a floor heater in the master bathroom, a beautiful wood burning stone fireplace and much more. The kitchen hosts a farm table which comfortably seats 8 people with 4 bar stools around the kitchen island. Walk from the dining area to our covered porch where you can relax on comfy patio furniture and rocking chairs while enjoying our traeger grill and a picnic table for outside entertaining.
There are two Master bedrooms with king beds and private bathrooms. The main floor master bedroom (#1) has its own bath with a luxurious oversized shower, garden tub, double vanity, and floor heater. The upstairs master bedroom (#2) has a king bed and en suite with tub/shower combo, tile floors, and single vanity. The other three upstairs bedrooms share a Jack-n-Jill bath with a tub/shower and a large vanity. Bedroom (#3): 2 twin beds and 1 set of bunkbeds, game and TV nook. Bedroom (#4): King bedroom suite Bedroom (#5): 2 queen beds, sitting area and floor space for an air mattress if needed. We do have a queen and twin air mattress on site if additional beds are needed.
Extra Amenities: 24' pontoon boat for rent ($400/day) Large parking area Free high-speed wifi Board games, puzzles and playing cards 2 Kayaks, knee board, wakeboard, tube 2 refrigerators for extra food, drink and ice Coffee maker (regular and Keurig), completely stocked kitchen (crockpot, electric skillet and electric oven and a large pot for crab boils) Double slip, large dock on great swimming water Ping pong table in the basement Badminton, volleyball, corn hole Smart TV's in living room and loft area Bed linens, towels, and some beach towels

Amazon house with all you need for a memory making, family get away. Lana was amazing and quickly responded to any question we had. We definitely want to go back when we have longer to stay.
This place is beautiful. The views of the lake are fantastic. The house is very well equipped. We wanted for nothing. All ages could find plenty to do. The beds were very comfortable. The hosts were amazing, helping us with the fact that we locked ourselves out of the house without a complaint and a smile. We hope to return many times.

Spent a week there with multi-generational family (oldest 80 and youngest 8). It was great. The house was awesome and the lot on the lake was fantastic as well. All in all I would not hesitate to stay again!

Lindsay,
We really appreciate you and your family staying with us, enjoying the boat, and being so flexible. You were fantastic guests and we would love to host you in the future! Lana
My 4 grandsons loved the water toys (Lilly pad, kayaks,etc). Everything was clean and the house was well layed out. Spent a lot of time on the porch off living area enjoying the breeze. Lana, our host, was very responsive.

Thank you Gary for the nice review. You and your family were great guests. So respectful of our property. Please consider us in the future!
Everything was absolutely perfect. I’ve stayed at many places and would have to say this place is at the top of my list. One thing that really stood out was how comfortable the beds were. Additionally, the family room with the kitchen was great for family time. I would recommend this place to anyone. We had a perfect experience.

Thank you Sammie and Hannah. You were a great group of 25 y.o’s and I would happily rent to you in the future. I would also be a reference if you need it on VRBO in the future!
We enjoyed the home immensely. The lake is beautiful, we spent one day out on a boat but really just hung around the house the rest of the time. We will very likely return.

We stayed at this beautiful house with our best friends and 6 kids! The house was immaculate and very family friendly. The view of the lake with our morning coffee was perfect. Renting a boat from the local marina was convenient and made for a relaxing and memorable week. We can’t wait to come back!!

Immaculate, very clean, quiet, beautiful home with a wonderful view of lake. We booked for a family getaway – and everyone had a fantastic time. Property is as advertised and is a place we will definitely return to for another visit. Owner is exceptionally responsive to inquiries and was great to work with for all of the details related to our trip. Would highly recommend.

The home was just as described. Perfect location on the water and the dock was sufficient for our own personal boat, a smaller fishing boat and 2 jet skis.

The location of the property on the lake was amazing. The owner was very cooperative and easy to deal with. The house was lovely and very accommodating for 9 people but did need a little attention in some areas, nothing major.

Thank you for such a stellar review. We are so happy your family got to enjoy a Clemson graduation and a lake weekend! Thank you for taking such great care of our home. Please visit again in the future! Lana and Jeff
Everything was great from booking to check out. The house worked perfectly for our 24 hour staff retreat. Kitchen was fully stocked for us to prepare meals. The open living, kitchen, and dinning space worked great for comfortable meeting time. Beds were comfy and views were beautiful! Owner was great to work with answering all of our questions promptly before our arrival. A great place to bring a couple of families to enjoy some laid back lake living for a few days!
The home was as advertised in every aspect! We loved the fantastic view of the lake. The owner was very prompt in responding to questions, we received very detailed instructions in advance of our stay. We recommend golf at Arrowhead Pointe and Hartwell Golf Club. Both places had very hospitable people and great courses for a winter weekend in the South! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful home!

Thank you so very much for your kind words. You were amazing guests and knowing you created family memories means a lot!
We had a fantastic stay. The location is very convenient to Atlanta and a short drive from the highway. The home was large and clean and had high quality furnishings. Dock was very nice and seemed new with composite decking and had a Lily Pad float. Plenty of space for kids to run around in the grass in both the front and back yards. Indoor activities like the ping pong table in the basement were great to have when it was raining. Owner had great communication and instructions. Definitely would stay again.

Russell and his family were extraordinary guests from early communication to caring for our property. The home was so clean after they left that it looked as if no one had stayed there. We would love to have them Retin in the future!
We spent a long weekend here and it was amazing. The house was clean and had everything we could possible think of available. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of them. The location of the property is also very nice. It is on deep water but at the mouth of a cove so you can see all the boating activity but they aren't coming in from of the dock.
Lana is an amazing host. She was very responsive and generous. We also rented the pontoon boat they have available and that was a great decision! I recommend others take that option if available.

Thanks for taking the time to review our lake home. Sometimes it's difficult to show in pictures or describe in words how special our home is so it really helps anyone looking to come to have a prior guest describe the property and their experience. We're thrilled you enjoyed it as much as we do.
About the host
Hosted by Lana Wertz
Jeff & Lana Wertz are the owners of the property. Jeff is a custom homebuilder from Atlanta, Ga and Lana is a nurse midwife. We have 3 daughters who remind us frequently that we are never allowed to sell the lake house because they love it so much.
Our lake home is wonderful for kids. Our girls like to have bonfires, take nature walks, pick wild blackberries, play volleyball and badminton, boat, swim, wake surf, waterski, sunbath, etc. Nights at the lake are our favorite time when we cook dinner, sit on the porches and enjoy the star lit sky.
For those with older guests or small children, the walk to the water is short and gentle without woods to meander through. There is a master on the main with a king bed and on-suite bathroom.
Why they chose this property
We chose to buy this property when we saw the land come on the market in 2008. This was the best lake lot we had ever seen (still is). We spent 6 months working on the plan and built our dream lake home on the property. We knew the area well and loved the convenience to the property but also to grocery stores and restaurants. We also have a boat ramp on our property for your convenience, plus a marina with gas near our home.
What makes this property unique
We love getting to the house the first night, unpacking and going to the front or back porch and just looking at the view! We also like going to Lavonia which is 10 minutes away to get doughnuts on Saturday morning and walk through the small shops and antique stores. We also buy local produce at the farmer's market on the square.
