We really enjoyed this lake house on beautiful Lake Hartwell. The dock was a great place to enjoy the sun's rays and and clear water of the lake. The house is surrounded by trees and just sitting on the deck we heard so many different bird songs and watched the squirrels play. The kayaks were great and so were the many different lake toys that were already blown up and ready for lounging or play. We loved this place and I highly recommend for a couple or small family.

Lovely home! There is a great view of the lake from the back windows. The desk is huge and plenty of seating. The beds and couch are comfy. Also the water pressure in the shower is amazing! This is a huge plus for me lol! The home is tucked away so you feel secluded, but you are about 15 minutes from Walmart in case you need to do a quick store run.

This cute little cabin was just what 2 best friends needed for a quiet little get away. Even leading up to our stay, the host was responsive and helpful in so many ways, and it didn’t stop there!! Upon checking in they were just as responsive while we were here. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!! Thank you Donna for everything… we will definitely be back.

This cozy little cabin was the perfect getaway place for my family and I. We had the most amazing time reconnecting with each other without any technology. Everything we did was family friendly and the beds were comfy to sleep in. It was very clean and the lake view was immaculate. The hosts were easy to get a hold of when we decided last minute to extend our stay. Needless to say my family and I will return again!
