The location of this home was lovely. Our teens really enjoyed the amenities (pool table, ping pong and kayaks). It is a long walk down and back up a large hill to the dock so it was challenging for one of our guests with bad knees. Overall, we had a wonderful time.

Amazing House and Location

Besides the location on the lake and only 15 minutes to Clemson football, the layout of the house is one of the best we've ever stayed at. First floor main bedroom is a plus and two great bedroom areas upstairs. And the game room was awesome!

Great Lake Hartwell Property!

We had a wonderful stay here!! The house was very clean and the communication from the owners was excellent! We had a minor issue with the kitchen lights when we first arrived and the owner was very responsive and helped to troubleshoot the problem and we got it resolved quickly! Definitely recommend!

Great stay on Lake Hartwell

The lake house was in a great location on Lake Hartwell, close to the main wide-open channel. House had all the features as described on the Vrbo website. I would not hesitate renting the house again in the future. Fred P

We had such a great time! The house was perfect for our families. Very roomy and comfortable. All of our needs were met. We rented a boat which we ventured on daily. We suggest doing that. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool table and arcade games. The owners were responsive 100% of the time with any issues we encountered which were minimal. FYI it is a steep walk down to the dock and back up. We had no problem but we could see circumstances where it could pose a challenge. Most of the houses we saw off the lake seemed to have the same steep walk. We enjoyed delicious Mexican dinner in Seneca as well as steak house by Clemson. We also drove less than hour for white water rafting experience. Overall, highly recommend staying here. Thank you Wayne and Sylvia!

The house is great with many extras you don't see elsewhere.Really good dock but needs an electrical outlet to charge batteries.If you bring a boat, you will be backing down the driveway, only negative.Will stay there again!
