Lake get away

This place was the perfect place to kick back and relax! The house was nice with so many little extras like the porches that over looked the lake, the chimney on the porch where you could have a fire, and the screened in porch downstairs. We loved the double dock and we caught lots of fish! We canoed and the teenagers loved the body board. We played cornhole and grilled out! We loved it and will stay again!

Family time

Property and lake home was a perfect fit for our family. The downstair area with two bedrooms, bath, and activity center complete with sofas, TV, game table, and a refrigerator was the perfect spot for the older toddlers and one set of parents. The upstairs area has two additional bedrooms, bath, fully stocked kitchen, family room with large windows overlooking the backyard and lake. The porches on each level (one screened and one open on top floor and large screened on lower level) added additional space for fun and relaxation. The large grassy backyard area was the perfect play area for the grandchildren. There is a concrete boat landing to launch your own boat and a very nice double deck dock to secure boat when not in use and for deck fishing. It was just what our family needed!

Great Lake Hartwell Location

Very happy with our long weekend stay at this property. The location is perfect on a quiet cove with great dock and deep water. The house had everything we needed, was very comfortable, and is close to grocery stores and restaurants. Very easy to find. Jon was one of the best VRBO hosts I have encountered - super communicative, very helpful, and wanting to make sure we enjoyed the best stay that we could. Highly recommend, particularly for families.

Great location!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway. The location on the lake is perfect, and the house has beautiful views from the porches and sunroom. The double-decker dock was great, and we really appreciated the option to add the pontoon rental - wonderful to be able to come and go on the water all weekend right from our dock. The kitchen and furnishings are as they appear in the listing photos - functional but not fancy. The host was very quick with communications and helpful. Overall a great place to stay!

Relaxing & Awesome time on the Lake

My family and I had a wonderful time from the moment we arrived. Our main focus was relaxing, boating and having fun. The week went to fast and we wish we could have stayed another week. The lake house accommodated each of us comfortably. We had an easy time prepping meals, having three bathrooms for cleaning up after a great lake day and nice grassy areas for our dog. Jon the property owner was wonderful to communicate with from the start. It was a great getaway!

Vacation stay

This is a great house for a single family stay. Dock and yard is nice, great porches, kitchen and sitting areas. One draw back, is that if multiple adults are going to stay here, the beds need to be upgraded. One room with a king is great, but the rest of the beds (4) are singles. Could do better there.

Lake House

We all enjoyed our stay at the Lake House. The house was supplied with everything we needed. We enjoyed the lake, went on pontoon rides, grilled on the deck, and enjoyed the beautiful views of Lake Hartwell. The owners are easy to contact if needed. They have a great place for family and pets to enjoy! I would highly recommend. It was very peaceful and we enjoyed every moment!

Family Getaway

We simply wanted a break to get away and enjoy time together . The girls did not even want to ride into town. We gave them the choice of the Greenville Zoo or staying home swimming and we stayed home. They had fun on the boat thinking the whole lake belonged to them. It was a good trip. Would love to do it again!

Awesome Lake Views

This lake rental provides the ultimate in relaxation for family gatherings and/ or chill out weekends with friends. The view which can be seen from many of the home's vantage points (including the party deck atop of the large dock) is very calming. You'll feel the stress drain away immediately. Given the home and property's size, everyone has plenty of room to spread out and do their own "nothing". The property is accurately described and portrayed in the VRBO ad page. It also excellently located and Tiger fans will especially appreciate how close it is to Clemson. The sizable kitchen is well outfitted for preparing meals, and dinners out are available a short distance away at Portman Marina's two restaurants. We loved the place and are ready to return.

Ultimate fishing house

My wife and I stayed at the Lakehouse for the 2020 BASSMASTER open. What a house!!! For tournament practice I parked my boat on the dock and ran an extension chord from the receptacle plug on shore. Very convenient ...a short run to all the big spotted bass areas I wanted to fish. The house was well maintained, beds were very comfortable, and appliances great for cooking (We cooked a big ham the first day to have for the rest of the week). When we weren't fishing it was a short drive to the numerous trailheads for hiking with our pups. Clemson Botanical Gardens is 20 mins away!!! Grocery shopping was very close by. Jon was a great host and was very accommodating/responsive. Any questions we had he answered promptly ... we even stayed an extra two days and he made the transaction very smooth. All and All we loved our stay at the lake house and plan to return.

Disappointed

For the price, I expected a 4 or 5 star experience but was disappointed. The lake was awesome but the house was rather run-down. It is set on a rural road in a residential neighborhood that is littered with trash. We were the only renters on a street of old homes. The sun room and kitchen were nice but the furniture is old, mattresses uncomfortable and linens worn. The furnishings are a hodge-podge and drawers chock-full of junk. It doesn't seem like a house that is set up for renters. The dock had a lot of wasps and mud daubers, and when I asked about raising the canopy on the boat, I was told, "Just knock the mud dauber nests out." I was stung by a wasp on the 2nd day which tainted the experience. We did enjoy the boat, but the final straw was on the 4th night when we saw cockroaches in the house. We left the next day, 3 days early. I shared my experience with the owner and asked for a refund for the 3 nights and was told no. There has to be a better way to have a boat vacation.

Relaxing Summer Get-a-way

Our family had a great time at this lake house! We had plenty of space to suit our needs for adults and kids alike. We all slept comfortably and prepared our meals in the spacious and equipped kitchen. We especially enjoyed access to the lake to fish and paddle around. We spent most of our time playing outside in the yard and ate supper on the downstairs screened in patio. We explored the city of Anderson and enjoyed walking around the downtown shops and our meal at Dolittles. We're glad for our visit and summer memories of Lake Hartwell!
