Hartwell

"This was a great rental property. We really enjoyed our stay and boating on Lake Hartwell. Comfortable cottage/home with an open floor plan. Master is on one end of house and other 2 bedrooms on the other end of the house. Very clean and as described. King-sized bed in Master and Queen or Full in 2nd bedroom were very comfortable. The 2 sets of bunk beds in the 3rd room were not quite comfortable for our college-aged sons, but they were typical bunk beds, intended for younger kids. Internet, Direct TV, Washer/Dryer and A/C worked great. We enjoyed going out on Lake Hartwell to ski and tube with a boat we rented nearby and docked at the rental. We also enjoyed the quiet location to swim off the dock. We went to Tallulah Falls (about an hour or so away) to hike in the gorge and slide down Sliding Rock and traveled a bit on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We got haircuts in Hartwell (see Connie at Depot Designs) and ordered a fabulous cake from Market 50 for a birthday celebration. Nice restaurants are not nearby but Market 50 has a fabulous deli for lunch. We grilled or cooked most nights and went into Anderson one evening for dinner. Stephanie (owner) was very easy to work with. She answered all our questions, was flexible and very personable. It's unusual to find a nice place we can bring our dog. Since we stayed for 11 nights, we really wanted a place we could bring our dog rather than kennel him. Everything worked out great. The only slight inconvenience was having to go to the local transfer station to dump our trash, The transfer station is very close, you just have to time it so you can take your trash when the transfer station is open (open everyday but Sunday). Thanks, Stephanie!"
