Perfect location

My husband and I needed a place close to a wedding reception. This was perfect as it was just less than 10 minutes away. We brought our pups with us and the yard was perfect for them to be able to play in. House was more than we needed but we would for sure stay again if we ever came back to the area. The host is also so nice and helped with all my questions!

Cozy home

This was a nice cozy home. It was clean and well organized. The only detail was that it does not have access to the lake but it’s a 10 minute drive to the park that has a nice beach. 🏖️ in the listing it says that the beach is part of the property but it is not.

Lake Hartwell Cabin

The host had excellent communication. We had to reschedule due to an unforeseen issue with the tournament and the host was able to accommodate. This was a nice property on Lake Hartwell and I would stay here again.

JAM

We enjoyed our stay. This house is in a quiet neighborhood and has a nice back yard. The kitchen is well equipped with utensils needed for cooking. The master bedroom is roomy and the bed (mattress) provided a good night sleep. The two bathrooms are definately a plus We will definitely request to book again.

Relaxing weekend

We were in town for the weekend to visit with friends and decided to stay here instead of a hotel. It was a great decision! The property was clean and well maintained, and the owners were very responsive to any questions we had.

Lake Hartwelll cottage stay

My friends and I just needed a getaway and some relaxation. We got the reservation and hoped it would be quiet and close to the water. It was close enough to the water but it was super quiet and relaxing. We cooked out and jumped in the lake . We got exactly what we were looking for. Thank you!

Great getaway

Had a great experience. Home was clean and description of property was accurate. Easy to book. Only complaint would be difficult to reach property management with questions to extend stay. Don’t know if VRBO issue and messages weren’t timely transmit? Took longer than expected to get response. Would definitely book again though!

Great cottage, close to the lake!

This cute cottage was the perfect spot for my family! We all enjoyed this lovely home with an awesome back porch and big backyard! Super close to the lake, and the boat ramp was not busy at all! Only small issue is that some blackout curtains would be nice in the bedrooms and one of the bedrooms blinds were completely torn off.....but that did not dampen our stay - our kids were so worn out from playing at the lake all day, they fell asleep even in the bright rooms! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you!

Great family get-away

The property itself was great. Very roomy, clean, and comfortable. Plenty of seating and very nice TV. Our only concern happened when dogs from the neighborhood were roaming off leash. This made it hard to walk or run on the road. But in the cabin and the yard, we were very comfortable.

Thanksgiving Get Away

We had a great time in this cozy “cabin” feel of a home! Beautiful trees around with lake across the road. Traveled to Tallulah Falls for a day trip & to Helen another day trip. Made a great Thanksgiving meal in the well stocked kitchen. Watched Christmas movies on the big screen TV & football, plus played board games ! Sat out on the deck & enjoyed the cool weather! A great time! Recommended to all for a relaxing time.
