About this property

Summertime is calling! Relax at the Lake...

Relax and unwind at our peaceful lakefront retreat—perfect for a quiet getaway. Enjoy cozy evenings outside on the deck or by the fire pit while embracing the peace and quiet you’ve been craving. Ideal for short-term stays where comfort, nature, and tranquility come together. Located just minutes from downtown Hartwell, this cozy retreat offers a private boat slip, so bring your own boat or rent one from a nearby marina.

We're also close to a farm meadery (honey winery) that specializes in artisan meads ranging from dry to sweet. They offer raw honey varietals, a tasting room with mead flights, a gift shop, and artisan cheeses & cured meats for snacking! Now that sounds like fun!

For fishing enthusiasts, Lake HArtwell is a prime spot to cast a line. Prefer a guided experience? Book a chartered fishing trip with a professional captain and reel in a big catch! Or signup for a guided tour of Lake Hartwell.

When you’re ready to explore the quaint downtown, be sure to stop by the local brewery or browse an elegant dress shop with stunning wedding and prom attire.

After a day of adventure, unwind on the deck, gather around the fire pit, and enjoy a peaceful evening grilling out with friends and family. Whether you're here for relaxation or excitement, our lakefront retreat offers the best of both worlds!

Book your stay now so you can look forward to a get-away! Experience the beauty, adventure, and serenity of our hidden lakeside gem...all that's missing is you!

Wonderful stay. This is the first time I've seen a rental so well stocked. Everything was great from a nice fire in the fireplace to the tranquility of place. Is the house for sale? Just kidding . This is how much we enjoyed it.

Nice place. Perfect for two people. Very clean. Loved the fireplace. Dock access is farther than I expected. Summer time would be tough trekking coolers, chairs and fishing gear back and forth, but was perfect for New Year’s.
Nice big fireplace.

Lake R&R

We were in town for a game at Clemson & wanted a retreat for a weekend getaway and this place was perfect! The home was on the lake and very cozy. I loved the pieces the owners have in there-it’s interesting to see unique pieces of art & antique pieces. I would definitely recommend this gem! In the summer we hope to go back & rent a boat Owners answered all questions timely & left a book with restaurants & things to do. Price was super reasonable. Thank you for a little piece of Heaven

The cabin was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It was conveniently located near a boat ramp for our launching our boat. It was also a plus that the town of Hartwell was so close. We enjoyed using the barbecue and eating out on the deck. Would highly recommend the place and would book again.

The host was excellent got back to us quickly with questions. The only negatives were the lake was farther than expected from the house and a little steep to get there. Also we unfortunately had an afternoon of rain so decided to do a movie day. The living room furniture is very pretty but not very comfortable to try and watch a movie as there's only a couch with a small ottomen and the other 2 chairs are formal straight wing back chairs. The house did however have all the necessary items you would need to cook a meal, showers were clean and had shampoo/conditioner and soap provided with fresh towels. The town is very close with lots of great food options. We ate at the Boathouse, it was very affordable with great food, live music and views of the lake. The house is set off the road on a very quiet block, met a few of the neighbors who were very friendly as well.
