About this property

Lake Hartwell Waterfront w/Dock, Gameroom, Firepit, Pets, Clemson & Fenced Yard

Tigertown Lake Escape - Waterfront retreat | 4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3.2 secluded wooded acres.

Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a Clemson or Anderson game weekend, a fishing tournament, or simply a peaceful getaway, Tigertown Lake Escape offers plenty of room to relax, play, and make lasting memories. Surrounded by 3.2 acres of mature trees, the property offers the privacy and relaxed atmosphere of a mountain home while keeping you close to Clemson, Anderson, Lake Hartwell attractions, marinas, restaurants, and major fishing tournament venues. The home is conveniently located 14 miles from Clemson University, 8 miles from Anderson University, 1.8 miles from Greenpond Landing & Events Center (home of the Bassmaster events), and 4.7 miles from Portman Marina and The Galley Waterfront Restaurant.

The main level features two king-bed primary suites, each with an adjoining bathroom and a large Smart TV. The upscale primary bathroom includes a jetted tub, a separate shower with dual showerheads, separate his-and-hers vanities, an additional powder room with vanity, and a walk-in closet.
Two additional bedrooms each offer a queen bed and Smart TV. One also includes a full-size trundle bed and a Pack ’n Play.
Gather in the living room around the cozy wood-burning fireplace, with comfortable seating and a 60-inch Samsung Smart TV. For extra entertainment, head to the Tiger Den Game Room for pool, darts, or a game of cards, or unwind in the adjoining lounge with a large Roku TV. The loft offers another living space with a sectional sleeper sofa, oversized beanbag, Smart TV, books, and board games. Need to stay connected? The property offers a home office with a desk, printer, monitor, twin futon and complimentary Wi-Fi providing a convenient space for remote work or school.

The well-equipped kitchen makes preparing meals for a group easy, with a double oven with air fryer, and numerous small appliances including, Keurig Duo coffee maker, slow cooker/crock pot, microwave, blender, toaster and more. There’s also a lower-level kitchenette with a second refrigerator, oven, washer and dryer, and utility sink.

One of the best features of Tigertown Lake Escape is the outdoor space. Relax on the expansive screened porch, featuring an outdoor Smart TV, comfortable large sectioal sofa, fire table, dining table, and beautiful sunset views. The adjoining back porch has a Weber gas grill, Bistro Table, child-size picnic table and additional seating. Enjoy a game of cornhole, or gather around the fire pit in the evening for s'mores, hot dogs, or stories and good times under the trees. The property also offers a fenced yard providing a secure outdoor area for your four-legged companions.
Bring your boat or personal watercraft and enjoy the large covered dock, reached by a gentle slope and stairs. Guests can also use the water mat, two paddleboards, a four-person paddleboat, and a two-person kayak—or cast a line from the dock. Explore the walking and hiking trail through the woods to the on-property waterfall.

**Please note: Due to drought conditions, Lake Hartwell’s water level is currently very low. The dock is not accessible by boat, and there is no water directly beneath it. Guests may beach a boat in the cove and walk from the dock to the boat. The cove is scheduled to be dredged in 2026, with deeper water expected at the dock beginning in 2027.
The garage is not available to guests, but there is ample parking on the property. A guest house is also located on the property and may be occupied by the owner. Guest privacy will be respected: the owner will not use the dock or main-house grounds, and will park using a separate parking area. If this is a concern, please inquire with the owner and the guest house will not be occupied.

Weather you're coming for Clemson or Anderson Football or a Sports Event weekend, competing in a fishing tournament, gathering the family for a vacation, bringing the dogs along for an outdoor getaway, or simply looking for somewhere peaceful to recharge, Tigertown Lake Escape offers space, privacy, comfort, and plenty to do. Spend mornings sipping coffee on the expansive screen porch, afternoons exploring Clemson, Anderson, and Lake Hartwell, evenings grilling with family and friends, and nights gathered around the fire pit. Come escape the hustle and bustle, slow down, and enjoy what matters most - the people you're sharing it with.

We had a wonderful time at Tigertown. The house is on a beautiful lot and the dogs and kids loved hanging out at the creek on property. We cooked most of our meals together and it had a full equipped kitchen. Ashley was great to work with and very helpful. Loved boating on Lake Hartwell!

Ashley was amazing, making sure we had everything we needed to make our family vacation memorable and fun. We will definitely be returning and making it a favorite to visit. Location was nice. The area felt secluded but only 5 min to town for anything you need. Property and home is gorgeous and felt like we had plenty of room. The waterfall on the property was a wonderful bonus for littles and adults alike. We all enjoyed it. There was ample parking available and even though we weren’t able to enjoy the lake due to the drought, it was above our expectations.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Jul, 2026
We are so glad you all enjoyed the home! Unfortunately, due to the severe drought in the Carolinas the lake level is exceptionally low. This is very unusual for this time of year on Lake Hartwell, and we are hopeful we will get rain soon. Thankfully we have 2 boat landings within 5 miles of the home, and many guest have been able to beach a boat in our cove, and walk from the dock to the boat. It's not ideal but we are doing our best to make accomodations for this challenge we are having with Mother Nature this year. The great news about our property is we will be having our cove dredged this Fall and look forward to having deeper water in the cove and avoiding these challenges moving forward. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for taking great care of our home. We welcome your return!

Everything was absolutely perfect. The pictures do not do the property justice. The house is beautiful and spacious. The beds are comfy. The kitchen has everything you need to cook up your favorite meal. We celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday with friends and could not have asked for a better place. The back porch was our favorite part which is where we spent most of our time. The view is so beautiful and serene. The owners are absolutely phenomenal. They were quick to respond to any questions we had.The best part was being able to take our 7 year old black lab who is my husband’s baby. We will definitely rent this property again in the future!

The property was very clean and great communication with the owners. The only issue was the "lack of water" in the lake. I know there has been a drought but we had no idea that we wouldn't have a lake to out our feet in or let our dog swim in. That was disappointing.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad you enjoyed the property and the home. Per our listing the lake levels fluctuate on Lake Hartwell, however it is very unusual for the lake to be low during the Spring and Summer months. The draught has unfortunately created this challenge, and this is why we sent an email to you and all guests prior to the stay explaining the situation. The great news is there is a waterfall on the property and a boat landing 4.9 miles from the home.

Beautiful home. Very clean. Game room was great for the kids. The only issue is that there was no water at the dock. Looks like there hasn’t been water for a while. Grass is growing. Water level was stated as “low.” But this would qualify for “no” water. I wish I’d known the extent to the water not being there as we would have picked somewhere else. Our kids had to carry kayaks a good ways to get to the water. Excellent house if you are just there to relax. But if you are into water sports, you might want to go by there to view the dock.

Thank you for your feedback, we are happy you enjoyed the home! Grateful to hear our cleaner is doing a great job and your kids enjoyed the game room. Unfortunately due to the ongoing severe draught in the upstate of SC the lake level on Lake Hartwell is currently very low as I notified you and all of our guests prior to your stay. We are transparent about this challenge that is out of our control and accommodate all of our guests to avoid disappointment and surprises upon arrival. We traditionally have 6-7 feet of water at our dock during this time of year, and are glad to hear you were still able to access the water from our property. We also have 2 boat landings less then 5 miles from the home. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and continue to hope for rain.

Great house! The porch was our favorite place to sit. Kitchen was stocked with supplies and spices. Gorgeous views from the doc. Liked the fit pit area, but we were there for a Clemson game and didn't take advantage of it. College kids loved the pool table downstairs. Overall one of the better houses we have stayed at for a tailgate weekend!
