Great experience!

We had a great trip and excellent time on the lake. The walk to the dock was easy, and the dock itself is roomy enough for an evening swimming. The screened porch was great, and the home was well furnished and fit 5 of us plus our dogs well.

Heaven on Hartwell

Everything was great! House was amazingly clean and stocked! Loved that they had a vaccuum so I could touch up during the week!!! Rooms were spacious and private. A/C was great and loved that there were fans in all the rooms. The screened in porch was amazing for the morning coffee and afternoon cocktails! The lot is shaded and kept it cool. Dock was amazing! Easy to use the lake ladder. Dock very spacious. Water is great. Deep, so good for rafting and canoeing. My son enjoyed the canoe and fished off it. The inlet is nice, not so much water traffic, and everyone friendly. Saw lots of deer, geese, hawks. Neighborhood is quiet which was exactly what I wanted! Neighbors very friendly! Don't worry, about 23 minutes away there is walmart, dollar tree, shops, restaurants, and placed to buy food, including an Ingles supermarket. Totally recommend this lake house. Commmunication and response was great with the owner. Thanks for sharing your home with us!!!!!

Family Thanksgiving

House was very clean with a comfortable floor plan. I thought house was nicer than photos. We didn’t take advantage of all the amenities because of the time of year but they were available and nice. Location on the water was secluded but not isolated. Not far to the town of Hartwell and shopping. Absolutely no complaints. A grand time was had by all. Would definitely rent again. We saw Bucky or his kinfolk!

Nice

We had a fun time w/our dogs on the dock and swimming. One day we rented a boat for the day to explore the lake! Saw Bucky the young deer plus other deer hang around the house. I think they liked us! Lol The last evening we spent time on the dock watching wildlife arrive to the waters edge for a drink. We watched 2 spotted twin fawns for an hour across the water on the other side of the lake, a heron plus turtles enjoy their time while the sun set..

Nice Place!

Pros: —Clean. —Nice open floor plan. —Large screened porch. —2 sets of bunk beds. —extremely nice, new dock. —walk to dock had gentle slope. —ample parking. Cons: —none of the bathrooms have locks of any kind on the doors. —the outside badly needs attention—-there are fallen limbs, weeds, etc. all over the property. —we were unable to unlock the two person kayak that is advertised. The padlock appears to be rusted shut.

Perfect Place to Unplug and Recharge

This lake-side property is the perfect place to unplug and recharge. The home is well-stocked with essential items and extras. The mattresses are very comfortable and the screened porch allows for a priceless view of the lake . The location is convenient to Hartwell and Anderson, which filled our quest for shop-therapy. And, Buddy, the neighborhood, friendly deer, strolled up for some attention, which was one of the many highlights of the stay. We highly recommend the home and Stephanie is an excellent host.

Perfect spot on the lake!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The location is perfect for a quick trip to Hartwell. The dock is amazing and can't wait to visit again in warmer months. The cottage is perfect for a large family or two couples traveling with kids. The bedrooms at opposite ends of the house with the bunkbeds in the middle is great for privacy. We loved the screened in porch, large kitchen area and comfy living space. We even met the neighborhood pet deer, Bucky, on our first night. The kids were excited to see him. We'll definitely be back.

Wonderful and peaceful lake stay! We are already discussing returning next year. Loved the wooded lot and the house was perfect for our family. You may want to consider getting a new mattress for the queen bedroom. Other than that, it couldn’t have been better. It makes us want to move to the lake!

Serene retreat

My family loved our stay and were lamenting having only booked for 2 nights. The proximity and views of the water are outstanding, and the home itself very comfortable and well-equipped. We loved the different spaces to relax in - the living room with views right to the water; the open deck; the spacious screened-in porch; and of course right on the dock! We hope to return during the summer when we can hop right in. As described in the listing, the cove is quiet and we'd feel comfortable with our girls swimming there. Very nice stay - even the neighbors were friendly! Highly recommend. Thank you for sharing this little slice of heaven with us! :)

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie McCaa

Host profile image
We bought this cabin so that our little girls would have an escape from the city to experience nature and the country. After purchasing the house, we quickly renovated it, adding the living room and master bedroom so that we could have friends and family stay with us.

We hope that you will enjoy our cabin as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Lake Hartwell has the unique combination of easy accessibility to major metropolitan areas and a quiet, remote location. Even on major holidays, such as July 4th, you feel like the lake is your private playground since there are so few people!

What makes this property unique

We love our quiet cove! It's a no-wake zone so there is almost zero jetski or boat traffic near our dock so kids can swim and play.

The gently graded and short walk from our house to our dock makes the transport of coolers, towels and supplies an easy task.

Our lot is wooded so you have lots of privacy.

We renovated and decorated our home for a lakeside feel with fishing prints and country antiques. We love to cook so our newly renovated kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to make a memorable meal!

The wood-burning fireplace makes for a cozy getaway in the Fall and Winter as well.
