We had a wonderful time and LOVED the house and location. We arrived to some yummy fresh chocolate chip cookies from a nearby bakery. So thoughtful!
I was a little nervous being on big water and not a bay, especially being a holiday weekend, but it really wasn't an issue. If that's how busy Lake Hartwell can get then we are sold! I LOVED how close the home is to the water yet there is plenty of grass area to play games and have a fire with the firepit. My absolute favorite space was sitting on the master bed reading with a glass of wine in the afternoon and looking out the massive windows at the sparkling lake. So peaceful!
My family has done A LOT of VRBO properties (it's the only way we can travel having 3 boys, two of which are special needs). Out of all the properties we have done I would say this was outfitted the best. What I mean by that was all the little details like KCups, sugar, salt and pepper, soaps, sponges, etc.
The fridge isn't standard size so having access to the YETI cooler under the patio was a huge help. We kept all the drinks in the Yeti and it kept them very cold for days.
I really appreciated how organized the storage area under the house was. They had so many amazing toys and games including inflatables, spike ball, checkers, jenga, a hammock and so many others! That floating foam pad was our absolute favorite thing!!! We played on that everyday and it made the water so much more fun for my boys. Also the array of sizes of lifejackets was a huge help and we were able to find ones that fit each of our boys.
Such an amazing place and the pictures just don't do this place justice.
