This is the best VRBO I have stayed it. It is VERY clean and organized. I loved not having to pack the shampoo! Very quiet street, easy to find. The owner's communication has surpassed anything I have had before with other owners. She is kind and very responsive. The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need to cook a lovely meal. I will stay here again for sure!!!!

Graduation
We stayed at Stefania's place for our son's graduation. It was exactly as described and she was outstanding with communication. We had a power outage on our last evening and she even went out of her way to make sure we had light and power to charge our devices. I can't say enough about the property or the host. Would highly recommend!

What an amazingly curated home! It felt like staying in a mini art gallery! The cleanliness was BEYOND anything we had ever experienced in our 5 years of traveling each winter. The generosity of the host is beyond compare as well as her attentiveness to the tiniest request. I am a home-trained-chefy kind of gal who makes every meal of the day from scratch, so having such an amazingly stocked kitchen was like no other rental! From making many pizzas to pecan rolls, it was a delight. The neighbors/neighborhood is full of lovely people and pets. The beds were comfy. The queen is a bit firmer and the king a bit softer. And finally, as a bird-nerd, I saw and photographed many species during our visit.

This means more to me than you know. Truly.
Hearing that the home felt like a mini art gallery and that the cleanliness stood out after five years of winter travel is the highest compliment I could receive. I pour so much intention into every detail, so knowing you felt it makes my heart full.
As a fellow from-scratch kitchen lover, it makes me smile imagining pizzas and pecan rolls coming out of the oven. That kitchen was designed for exactly that kind of joy.
I’m also so glad you enjoyed the neighborhood and our neighbors. They are truly special!
You were a true pleasure to host, and I would welcome you back anytime.

Sobre o anfitrião
Anfitrião: Stefania Bondurant
Hosting isn’t just my business — it’s my passion. At Blue Ridge Upstate Gateways, we create spaces that feel like a friend’s home: spotless, thoughtfully stocked, and ready for you to simply arrive and relax.
I pay close attention to the details that turn a stay into an experience — from chef-ready kitchens and cozy fire pits to pawesome amenities for your pets and state park passes for your adventures. My goal is always to anticipate what you’ll need before you even think to ask.
I’m originally from Italy, but the Upstate has been home for the past 25 years. Because I live and work here, I care deeply about this community. When you stay with us, you’re not just booking a rental — you’re supporting a local host who values our neighbors, protects our resources, and is committed to keeping Greenville a wonderful place for families, friends, and guests alike.
Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade
I chose Portman Cove because it’s the perfect blend of lake life and convenience. Tucked right on Lake Hartwell, the neighborhood offers that calm, lake life feel — but you’re also just a short walk to Portman Marina, where you’ll find one of the area’s best waterfront restaurants, The Galley.
What I enjoy most about this neighborhood is the rhythm of life here: mornings on the water with kayaks or paddle boards, afternoons walking to the marina, and evenings gathered around the fire pit under the stars. It’s peaceful, but never boring — you can boat, fish, dine, or simply relax by the lake. Plus, with Clemson, Anderson, and Big Water Marina just minutes away, guests get both a retreat and easy access to all the action.
O que faz essa propriedade ser única?
What makes Portman Cove Cottage unique is how much is packed into one stay. You get lake access just steps away, complimentary kayaks and paddle boards, and the rare ability to walk to Portman Marina — home to one of the best waterfront restaurants at the lake. Most lake homes require a drive for dining or supplies, but here you can be on the water in the morning, a short car ride to grocery stores and retailers alike, and dinner on the deck.
The home itself is thoughtfully stocked like a true getaway should be: a chef’s kitchen with a pizza oven and Blackstone grill, plush king bed with blackout curtains, and extras like state park passes, streaming sports, and even gear for pets. Guests tell us it feels less like a rental and more like a friend’s home — welcoming, easy, and ready for real lake-life memories.
