About this property

Cozy Lake Hartwell Cabin - Beautiful dock views! Bring your boat and your pet!

Bear Necessities is a four bedroom, 2 full-bathroom and 2 half-bathroom lake house on an amazing part of Lake Hartwell - located in a cozy neighborhood at the tip of the peninsula so, the water views are spectacular.
The house is set up on two levels, the main level has a kitchen that opens up to an open living and dining room area with sliding doors onto the rocking chair porch with great lake views and a gas grill.
The master bedroom is on the main level with an ensuite bathroom with a private sink & toilet. Bedroom #2 on the main has a king bed that can be converted to two twins upon request. This bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom with private sink & toilet. Both bathrooms also have doors that lead to a shared jack and jill shower room situated between the two bathrooms.
Downstairs has bedroom #3 with a queen bed. Just outside the door is a private half bath with a door that leads to another jack and jill tub and shower room. Bedroom #4 is a bunk room featuring two sets of bunk beds (4 beds total) - perfect for kids! This bedroom also has its' own bathroom with private sink & toilet that shares access to the jack & jill tub and shower room.
Downstairs also hosts a great rec/media room with a big screen tv, games table, dome hockey table, foosball table and sliding glass doors to the patio with a lake view. Play on the outdoor ping pong table, corn hole boards or roast marshmallows by the fire pit! (Note: The ping pong table is easily stored if you prefer to have more patio space.) This outdoor space also has great lake views.
We are just a 15 minutes drive to rent a boat and 1 mile away from the closest local boat ramp to launch your own watercraft. Tie up your boat at our dock! (*Please note our boat will be locked on the lift during most of the year so the covered slip is not available for use*). There are are two tie-ups on either side, electricity plug in and plenty of space to sun and lounge on the dock!.
If virtual working is part of your trip, Bear Necessities also hosts a 1 gig speed internet allowing for a work-hard/play-hard trip.
Clemson fans, come stay and play in between rooting on your Tigers at the football game in the fall! About a 45 min. drive to the stadium.
We created Bear Necessities for families and friends to gather and make wonderful, lake memories. You can sit in the Adirondack chairs on the dock taking in the sunset, or wake up early and throw a fishing line!

Fun getaway with family and friends.

Great house setup. Older adults upstairs with younger adults downstairs. Perfect access to the lake for some fishing and island hoping. Nice quiet neighborhood. Fire pit at night was an added bonus as it was still a bit cool. Plenty of tvs to take in the NCAA tournament.

Amazing, relaxing stay

We enjoyed this property so much!! We were in town for spring break and to watch some college softball. The property is located in a very quiet area. The kids enjoyed having their own area with living room, hockey table, foos ball, and ping pong. We enjoyed using the kayaks and the dock for fishing. Unfortunately, the weather was a little too cold for swimming. We hope to be back soon!

We enjoyed a beautiful long weekend at this property. The gentle slope to the water and sandy beach area were a perk!

We have stayed at 5 other vacation rentals and this property is hands down the VERY best. It was exceptionally clean and stocked with absolutely everything you would need to make your stay perfect. We stayed for an extended period and are so thankful to Jennifer and Ko for making this a special time.

Hartwell Family Vacation

Our Family of 10 gathered, (6 of us for our 2nd stay), for a Wonderful 5 day Vacation in this Great Lake House, and, like last year, the place was fantastic! The location, the dock/boatslip, swimming, fishing, and overall comforts helped make it really hard to leave! Thanks Jennifer for having us again and we’ll definitely be back!

Wonderful home!

Amazing trip which is saying a lot since my husband and I had our two teen daughters and their two friends, The house was super clean, with a well stocked kitchen for all of our cooking needs, gorgeous sunset and sunrise views, and a responsive host for our questions. This home stands out from other rentals we’ve had in different places and I would highly recommend it.

Wonderful Lake House

The lake house had everything that we needed for our Friendsgiving Celebration. The lake was beautiful to wake up to in the morning and the fire pit was a great hangout spot. The kids loved the downstairs game room. Would definitely book again to try out in the Summer.

Wonderful place!

We have nothing but positive things to say! The home is very well maintained and they clearly attend to all the details of a house (great pillows, well stocked kitchen etc). The house was clean and homey. The hockey table and board games were great for the one rainy day. The communication with the host was fantastic.

Amazing spring break!

Perfect location for a multi family get away! The house was fresh and clean upon arrival and well stocked with all the necessary things that a lot of places don't provide. I was floored that there was hand saop, paper towels, and 6 dishwasher pods to use! There was plenty of space for 2 families and a dog. We enjoyed fishing off the dock with the kids and watching the sun set. The fire pit was great and we were lucky to have wonderful weather. The owner was wonderful to rent from and super responsive. I highly recommend renting this house!

Excellent!!

Your search is over, book Jennifer’s house ASAP! Communication was super easy and quick and the place looks even better than it does in the pictures. Bear Necessities has everything you would possibly need for a nice getaway. The outdoor deck was all gated which was perfect for our pup to run around and explore, and not to mention the views from the rocking chairs! All of the dishwater and linens were top tier, like being in your own home. Jennifer’s place would be great for a few families, friends, or couples. We can’t wait to go back and enjoy the awesome dock and swimming platform in the Spring!

July 4th Getaway

Great place for a family of four plus enough room for some in-laws. House was well stocked with the essentials for cooking. House was clean upon arrival. Dock was in great shape and even able to tie up a pontoon. Only reason the location is 4 stars is because of the proximity to open water and high boat traffic over the holiday weekend which made for some good waves on the dock. Still, it provided great sunrise and sunset views. Owner communicated very well and was extremely timely, including when we needed some assistance. Overall great stay, great place, and great location. We'll likely be looking to book again.
