Lakehouse retreat
Beautiful lakefront property. It was just 3 of us and we used every inch of the outside property and especially loved the game room! Its like having your own private beach and waterfront as you just step outside! The host was so gracious and very accessible if you have questions. Good spiritual vibes as well! Loved it

Relaxing and Enjoyable!
My sister and I had a wonderful stay at Cindy's place for 4 nights! We loved the lake views, kayaks, hot tub, game room, fire pit, and the wildlife! (deer, birds, geese, and ducks) We also loved how everything was labeled and furnished. The beds were not as comfortable as we would have liked. Overall it was a great place to stay on Lake Hartwell! Thanks for sharing your place!

Perfect
This was one of the best places I've ever stayed with VRBO. The owner had everything super organized, labeled and as well stocked as any place you would want to stay. The property is a beautiful lakefront setting and the house has windows that let you see the beauty of the lake. There were deer to watch and birds galore at the feeders hanging outside. The beautiful deck with decorative lighting and screened porch were an added bonus. Since we are senior citizens, we did not take advantage of everything there that was offered. This would be perfect for a family with young kids, teenagers or young adults. A complete two-car garage full of games, a paddle boat in the lake, and an area for a campfire made it really ideal. The open kitchen dining room and living room made it most comfortable for lots of people to sit around, eat and fellowship. Can't say enough good things about this VRBO. Thank you Cindy!

Affordable fun for the whole family
We spent Christmas here and had a cozy time with our teen children who loved exploring the lake shore and small island beyond. My husband and I enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. Communication with the owner was great. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. Great value.
