They thought of everything
This was the best location, close to Harbor Light Marina where we had a boat rental. The property had a bathroom right when you walked in, great for emergencies! The master had a magnifying mirror, which I always forget! The dock was great for fishing and so many perks like the paddle boat and kayaks and extra life vests! There was a technical glitch with VRBO and the owners were great at helping me get everything squared away since we couldn't get into the reservation. We played lots of games which still had all their pieces! We'll totally stay again, it was just perfect!

We had a very nice time at the property. We utilized a kayak and the dock for our pontoon boat rental. They were very close to house which made for easy access. We loved that the house had two separate living areas

Fall Family Lake Trip
We had such a fun stay at this property. Not only was the property very clean but there were many thoughtful details that we very much appreciated. The kitchen was fully stocked and loved having the set up of body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the both of the showers. There was plenty of outside areas to enjoy including a fire pit with wood ready to use and of course lake access with a dock. If our travels bring us to Harwell again we would definitely consider coming back.

Lake Hartwell Getaway
The house was really cute and we loved the layout. The beds were super comfortable and we loved looking out at the lake and all the beautiful hummingbirds on the feeders. Even though it was a quick trip for us we would definitely recommend this place to anyone and would come back if we had the opportunity!

Best stay in Hartwell
Our family has been staying on Lk Hartwell for the past 4 years and this was the best location so far. House was clean and spacious and was in a fantastic location. Great fishing nearby, quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors (and dogs), and proximity to downtown Lavonia and Hartwell made it convenient. Would definitely stay here again!

Awesome Lake House
This is a lovely home in a quiet cove. The house is clean and well maintained. The hosts are great; helpful but not intrusive. The cove and covered dock is great for folks wanting to bring their boat. Nice location and close to Tugaloo State park to launch your boat. This was our second year staying at this home and will likely be back next year.

Amazing loved it
We are VRBO veterans and usually you get exactly what you expect but this property exceeded any expectations we had. It was clean, incredibly organized, and had many extras. It is designed for the vacationer and had many extras. You can tell the owner has thought of everything. There was only three of us but it easily could accommodate a large group. I strongly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great vacation.

Comfortable and spacious lake house that was well equipped in every way. The lake access was wonderful and close enough to shopping and restaurants in Lavonia if you wanted to leave (we didn’t!). Our hosts were wonderful. The lake water was relatively clear and good temp for a hot July!

Perfect Lakehouse!
Second time staying here, and it was wonderful yet again! The location is amazing on a quiet, wooded cove. The house has absolutely everything you could possibly need- well stocked kitchen/bathrooms, beach towels, board games, cornhole, firewood, kayaks, paddle boat, life jackets, and lake floats of all shapes and sizes! I couldn't recommend this place more highly. It's absolutely perfect and we'll be back!

Great location
We had an excellent time. We really enjoyed staying in the rental. We rented a boat for a few days and kept it at the property. The lake was peaceful. I am not sure how it is at other times of the year; but, in the fall there was hardly anyone else around. We didn’t swim or kayak; but, I am sure those options would be really enjoyable during the summer months.
