Spacious Lake Hartwell home with cozy cabin appeal, 15 mins to Clemson Free WiFi

Lake Front House with large master on main with king sized bed, walk-in closet and a full bath. Main level has a 25' vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, two-story windows, wood-burning stone fireplace, large fully-stocked kitchen with all new appliances, butcher-block island, breakfast bar, and a dining room.
The loft bedroom includes a queen sized bed, two twin beds, and a full bath. Loft area also has a pull-out couch with twin mattress and view of the lake.
Basement level has a king sized bed and pull-out sofa, full bath plus a game room with pool table, 55” LED 4K Roku TV, Wii video game system and lots of board games.
There is an 800 sq/ft deck overlooking the lake with plenty of patio furniture to relax in and enjoy the view. Motion lights on all sides of the house to help in the night. Covered outdoor grilling area on the lakeside of the house with gas and charcoal grills.
There is a large driveway with loop and parking area. Additional parking available on backside of the house if you don't want to use it as a basketball court.
Gentile short slope to a two-story dock with 12' x 16' deck on top, a swimming dock on the side and a swimming ladder.
High-Speed Wi-Fi and internet access is included.

3 Kayaks are available, 2) Adult Kayaks with fishing features and 1) Child Kayak.
Our place is a pet friendly house but there is a fee of $95 per pet, per stay (2 pets maximum). This is due to the extra cleaning it takes to clean up the pet hair and the cleaning service charges us extra for this.
We have security cameras for the protection of our house. Cameras are located outside the house mounted in front of the outside doors.
We do have the ability to accommodate large groups such as family reunions, corporate functions or fishing club tournaments by renting the 2 houses next to us, #1150252vb and #3685237, if all three houses are available.

Come relax in peace & quite, and have fun on the lake.
