Nice cozy place on Lake Hartwell
We've stayed for a week at Doug and Lucy’s place in June 2025. We had a really great time, enjoyed everything. Mostly spent time on the lake - swimming, kayaking, fishing. Kids had fun at the beach and playgrounds at the Elrod Ferry Recreation Area, which is just a few minutes drive down the road. Groceries and shopping (Walmart and ALDI) are less than 10 minutes away. Overall, a very nicely located quiet place on the lake. Will definitely try to come back next year.

The private boat dock worked out perfect for our 22’ Tritoon & kids loved the Kayacks! The fire pit made for great s’mores & atmoshere along with yummy grilling at the house! The accommodations were perfect, and we will definitely be back.

The property is nicely kept. It had a good view from the back deck and a great view from the boat dock. There is a great peninsula with several beaches less than a mile down the road. We liked the location so much that we bought property around the corner.

Very nice lake property
Cute house, perfect for our group of four adults. Very convenient for the race we were doing at the dam on Sat. morning. Things were well kept and we had everything we needed. Loved having the paved path to the dock. I would suggest a little WD-40 on the main bedroom bathroom door, hard to slip in there in the night without making noise. The neighbor dogs were friendly and welcoming. Roy even came back by the next day to check on us, that or he was checking out what was for breakfast.

Great for any type of trip!
We loved staying here. My husband and I were here for two days and two nights just the two of us, and then our 3 year old and seven year old joined us for one day and one night. I can honestly say it was ideal for both occasions. The house (beds and sofa especially) was great for relaxing on the rainy day that we had, and the dock and kayaks were great for adults only and kids. The side dock with the fire pit was great for sunning and is in directly sunlight until almost sunset. I chose this place because several other reviews said that the dock being across the street was no big deal, and it wasn't. I actually preferred it because it made it very secluded and quiet. The kids were safe the entire time and loved the tandem kayak.
I'm a runner (slow jogger), and I thoroughly enjoyed several long runs in the area. Elrod Ferry recreation is .67 miles down the road and is scenic and safe. I found the whole area very safe (sometimes more rural places scare me because of dogs, etc). We did Walmart pickup as Walmart is just down the road and were able to cook everything at the house. Downtown Hartwell has a few restaurants and is super close.

A Property Worth Booking
The property was perfect for our visit to Lake Hartwell. The property was pleasantly beyond my expectations. The location is in a quiet area. The view off the back deck makes for a is totally relaxing experience. The dock across the road is a perfect setup to enjoy the water. The boat launch is conveniently located down the road with ample parking.
The home is in great condition and very clean. Nice open family room and kitchen area to relax. The hosts do a great job communicating and providing everything needed. I would not hesitate to book another stay at this property.

Relaxing stay in comfortable / peaceful locale
Our group of 5 friends had a great stay at this home! This house was roomy, comfortable, and well equipped. Clean and recently updated on the inside. Plenty of hot water for showers, etc. King, queen, and bunk beds in the 3 bedrooms. View of lake from back patio and awesome fishing / swimming dock just a short stroll across from house. Cove setting was extremely peaceful and kayaks were tons of fun. Host very responsive! Highly recommend.

Great getaway
We had such a great time! The house is beautifully decorated and clean. The kitchen is very well stocked, we had everything we needed and more! The kitchen had nice/clean appliances as well (the kids and my husband were fascinated by the microwave 😂) There were a bunch of different games available to play with the family. We were impressed by the property to say the least (definitely one of the top properties we’ve stayed in for the price) The water is breath taking, so clean and there was no boat traffic in the cove so the kids were able to swim. The walk to the dock wasn’t bad at all either. I was nervous about the distance and having a 2 year old but it worked out just fine and the paved walkway is a great idea. We would love to come back and stay in the future!
