Too many spyder webs on the windows. Nice ample living room, clean kitchen, and quiet serene property. The biggest complain is the beds. Most of them are too saggy. My wife happens to get the smallest room with double bed, could not sleep on it and ended up sleeping on the couch. I had to sleep on the fllor with my air pad that i carry fir camping trips. With good mattresses I could give 4 stars.

We loved this lake house! We were in town for a LSU/Clemson game and it was close enough to the stadium and right on the water. We had lots of room and everything we needed. The firewood was plentiful and the younger adults enjoyed the peddle boat and the kayaks. We would definitely come back!

Great house to relax in!

We love Lake Hartwell and enjoyed our 3rd trip to the lake. This home is perfect for our family of 8 including a 14 month old & 2 dogs. We had plenty of space to sleep, play games and eat! This kitchen is one of the most well stocked kitchens we’ve seen. We enjoyed the kayak and paddle boat. The location is in a cove and we seemed to have the whole cove to ourselves most of the week. Great property!
