Fair Play Stay

It is a beautiful home, but it was not clean by any standards. The floor was dirty and the bathroom upstairs was disgusting. There was hair on the walls in shower stall a dirty towel at top of shower rod. Soap scum, or something all over stall and the towel had pubic hair on it. We shared pictures with property manager, but someone came to clean, but honestly they mopped the floor, the bathroom was still gross. There was hair and fake nails on the rug under the dining table, and you could not walk barefoot due to the gross floors. The countertops were also filthy that I cleaned prior to cooking a meal for my family. I asked for the cleaning fee to be refunded, but was told i had to speak to property manager. Also, the driveway is very slanted and hard to get in and out of your vehicle. The house needs a very deep clean, also tons of dead bugs. As you walked upstairs and looked through the windows in living room, so many dead bugs had accumulated and were left there. Again, highly suggest that the home is deep cleaned twice, before renting out again.

Family in town.

The property was nice, but disappointed with the cleanliness and the items that were broke or didn't work in the house. Downstairs toilet was broke, screen door on back qas broke and set up against the house, no comforter on middle bedroom. Also found a kids dirty sock in and candy wrappers in one bedroom. Also shower curtain had mildew on init in the master bedroom.

Remote cabin

The kitchen was large and well equipped for preparing meals for a large group. Also the two dining area being together was perfect for my family. Bedrooms were nice. Access to the property was challenging since the first quarter mile was down a single lane dirt road and crossing a creek to get to the neighborhood. Also the trail down to the dock was steep and rocky.

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin is beautiful and has large comfortable rooms. Great for 8 adults. It was very convenient to have a dock for our boat, although know that if the lake was low, you would not be able to get there. The driveway is steep, but who cares because we only parked there. The terrain up from the boat dock is not for the elderly nor weak, but we would certainly rent again!!

Beautiful house

The house was perfectly maintained and looks better than the pictures. It was a clean and well designed log house. The beds were comfortable and it was very private. The only criticism is the lake access. It is a very steep long walk down a dirt path to get to the lake, which made lake access difficult

Nice Home, Need More Cleaning and Better Parking Situation

The home was very nice; however, the floors were extremely dirty (ruined several pairs of white socks!) and the furniture needs dusting. Dead carpenter bees on the floors in three of the bedrooms. Air conditioner filters need to be replaced. I had to remove the upstairs filter to get the air conditioning to cool properly. Just needs a good, deep cleaning. Furniture, fixtures, supplies (towels/sheets/kitchen) were very nice.The steep driveway is dangerous for elderly or others that need a flat service to walk.Also, part of the road to the home is gravel, not recommended for a low vehicle.Management company was very responsive and helpful during our stay.

Weekend Getaway

We were quite comfortable with 6 adults and four children in this lovely, nicely furnished 4 bedroom cabin. We rented a pontoon boat at nearby Harbor Light Marina and parked it at the dock which is shown in the photos. The walk down is a fairly rugged trail and a good pair of shoes are recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had a great time on the water.

Beautiful Cabin on Lake Hartwell

I enjoyed my weekend in the cabin. It is in a very scenic area. We thought the the water fall and creek that we experienced on the way in is great!

Nice House But…

We hosted a family reunion and the size and the layout of the house was ideal. If you are booking this for a place with good lake access be aware that this is at the very end of a lake inlet, one house from a creek head, very shallow, hard to get a boat to, and you would not want to swim off the dock.

Great Stay on the Lake

We very much enjoyed our stay at the cabin on Lake Hartwell. The furnishings were very comfortable and homey, and we thought everything was great inside and outside of the cabin. We very much enjoyed being outside on the porches and the use of the grill in the evening to prepare our dinner. I did not take the opportunity to walk down to the dock on the lake but I could see it and I’m sure it would be wonderful down on the water. Overall our stay was great we highly recommend this location is very relaxing and quiet and a great place to spend the weekend or week!
