About this property

Spectacular lake home with dock and fire pit- room for all - good pets ok-

Absolutely stunning modern style five bedroom, four bath home. Sitting down a private tree lined drive on nearly one acre of land. The lot is nearly level and features over 200 feet of water frontage and a covered two story boat dock. Located in the perfect spot on the lake. There is a beach for sunning and swimming in front of the house. We provide a kayak and a rowboat and paddleboard for your enjoyment. There is always water here. Located on a big basin, with natural area across the lake. Perfect for tubing and skiing right in front of the house, but off the main lake enough to avoid tons of boat traffic. There are three king size beds, one queen size bed, two sets of bunk beds in the children's room and also a two sets of reclining sofas. There is a screened porch for alfresco dining as well as an open deck along the back of the home where you can barbecue and watch the fun happening in the lake. There are two master suites, one upstairs and one down stairs. There is also a second mini kitchen downstairs with a refrigerator and a microwave. There are two complete living areas, one upstairs and one downstairs. They both have fireplaces and spectacular views of the lake. The kitchen is well stocked and there are plenty of high quality items. There is enough in the kitchen to cook a holiday meal and have everything you need. There is a custom farmhouse table which seats at least 10. In the downstairs family room, there is a Playstation for the kids and lots of video games, as well as board games, dvds and books in case you have a rainy day. The home is stocked as though we live there, nice linens, tons of towels etc. We really have tried to think of everything you could need to make this the vacation of your dreams! Guests return year after year. 60 inch TV in the upstairs family room and reclining leather sofas also new 2 new TV's in guest bedrooms. We rent from Saturday to Saturday in the summer. Shorter term rentals will be accepted but not until it gets closer to the summer. We love the area so much that we bought another house. It is on the same lake -on the GA side, just off I 85, almost the same house! - Check out vrbo 1280172 if this home is booked.

Perfect Family Stay

Very spacious and accommodating property, plenty of room to spread out and enjoy! The views of the lake from each bedroom are beautiful and not to mention the views from the living room and kitchen! The bedrooms were roomy and beds very comfortable. The screened in porch was wonderful also. We had plenty of seating for meals and visiting. We enjoyed the fire pit on the lakeshore and fishing from the dock also. Very responsive host and over all very comfortable, enjoyable, accommodating stay.

Our Favorite House!

This was our second stay at this house and it was perfect again. You can’t go wrong when you have a large group and come with multiple boats. It’s an ideal set up and the house is clean, comfortable, and well equipped. We plan to return again next year!

Spectacular views

Beautiful home with an open layout. 2 family rooms were a plus. We loved the table for 10 in the kitchen, lots of supplies for cooking, and new gas grill on deck. Views views views from every room in house. Plenty of bathrooms and 2 master bedrooms were very nice. Even though it was cold in the morning and in the evening, we enjoyed sitting on the dock and watching the sunset. Wonderful home.

Great Family vacation

Our family had a great week! Great house with everything we could want or need. It was clean and everything was in good working order. The lake and the views were beautiful! We loved the dock space and the yard! Hope to come back to Hartwell some time in the future! We are from Columbus, Ohio and wore our Ohio State t shirts into the Clemson store and left with a tshirt and hat! Easy to catch the fever down here!

Great House.

I just stayed at this house with 6 of my friends for the recent Bass Masters Classic on Lake Hartwell. This house was awesome. Enough room for all of us guys. When I went to bed at night; I did not know anyone else was even in the house. Plenty of room to spread out. Very clean and well maintained. Thanks for allowing us to use your beautiful home.

Great lake house!

We stayed in this lovely house for a week with my extended family. The house has everything that you need and was so much fun. The kids loved playing on the dock, paddle boarding, using the basement "kid zone", and all of the waterspouts - since my brother had his boat with him. The house has a great layout and plenty of room for a couple of families. The kitchen is very well stocked and there was never anything that we didn't have. We only went out to eat once, so there was a lot of cooking going on. Chris was great to deal with and checkin/out was super easy. Thanks for a great vacation!

Great Location

Pros: 1) Excellent Location, Views, and Neighborhood 2) Responsive owners and Friendly neighbors 3) Lots of kitchen utensils and recreation equipment 4) Great setup for summer vacation for large/multiple families. Cons: 1) A little outdated/basic inside, including flooring, carpets etc. 2) Did not feel like a 4000 sq. ft. house. The place is great. Unfortunately, it was very cold the week we were there, but we knew it in advance. Hence, could not enjoy the outdoors much. The house is equipped with lot of stuff which takes care of many needs for an extended stay. The fire pit location is great. The boat ramp and boats are also very good. The house can have a little upgrade though, but that is just our opinion. Overall, we had a great stay. Chris and Chris are very friendly and responsive.

My family thoroughly enjoyed this property. No stone was left unturned down to board games that we enjoyed l! We even enjoyed a fire with s’mores. It was a great weekend for my daughter’s ring ceremony at Clemson University! My son and his buddies enjoyed the dock. We will definitely be booking here again. Thanks so much for an awesome weekend.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Porter

Host profile image
Owned by a mother and daughter and their husbands. We are Real estate Brokers in Florida. We know what it takes to make someone comfortable in a house and have not spared anything in providing everything that we could think of needing for our home. We want to be comfortable and for you to be too!

Why they chose this property

Completely remodeled in 2018! We always loved visiting the upstate area. It is a nice change from Florida. All four seasons are visible here. It is a beautiful home, but the grounds still provide for the feeling of seclusion and privacy. It can feel like you are camping on a lake, roast marshmallows over the fire, but you can cook in a gourmet kitchen and sleep on a comfortable bed! Truly the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

The views will take your breath away. From the minute you turn into the neighborhood, there are towering trees of all colors. The home has floor to ceiling windows in both of the living areas and a deck along the back to sit and enjoy the views of the lake. The ability to have a house full of people and still have a place for everyone to get away and have their quiet place sold the house for us. The proximity to Clemson was a surprise benefit. We are now die hard Clemson fans. If you have not experienced a game in Death Valley- you really need to! This home has repeat visitors year after year. After your first visit, you will be ready to schedule the next.
