4th of July @ Lake Hartwell

The location was in a great area close to Tugaloo to launch our boat. The house was perfect for our stay, it was well maintained, clean and well stocked. The dock was in great shape for docking our boat for our stay. We would 100% book again to stay next year.

Great boat dock!

Stayed here for a short weekend getaway with our dog. Darrin and Renee were very gracious and responsive to questions. Place is as pictured and had everything we needed. The house is located in a quiet part of the lake, so we enjoyed hanging out on the dock and kayaking in peace without having to deal with a lot of boats. Will stay here again!

Fishing on the Lake

First time visiting Lake Hartwell. This property was just what we were looking for. The cabin was clean and comfortable and located in a quiet cove. The hosts were great and very responsive with the few questions that we had. We look forward to another visit in the future!
