Lake cottage
This home was a cute cottage surrounded by mostly run down homes. Cottage was too hot and didnt hold the air. Temperature was 85 degrees when we arrived. The bath mats in both nathrooms havent been cleaned in some tome. Rugs also have dirty smells. Dead bugs & nats

A Relaxing Vacation
We liked the location on the lake as it was away from the boat traffic, yet close to kayak to Poplar Springs park, and a nearby island. The house had everything we needed. We loved sitting out on the deck, and viewing the lake from the bedroom and living room.

Amazing Weekend Getaway
Very impressed with the property and the folks who hosted. We had booked this property after another trip fell through and we were glad it did. I highly recommend staying at this property if youre looking for privacy, upgraded amenities, relaxation, and access to some of the best fishing in the southeast.

Week at the lake
Nice little home, older but kept up. Neighborhood is very mixed but that’s common around Lake Hartwell. Had some really rough neighbors for 2 nights. Easy walk to the lake (it is a trail over roots, no pathway but not bad). Dock was a little disappointing, pretty rough shape and we had two family members get cuts from the rust metal that is broken and hanging from the dock so be careful with kids around it. Location on the lake is great and view is very nice. Peaceful spot without too much boat traffic. Host was great and responded quickly to all my messages. Overall a great trip and nice place to stay. We will be back.

Clean cabin on the lake.
We stayed here, not for vacation, but to be close to a family member in hospice. Weather was a challenge and the power was out for one night. Since the house is on well, that meant no water. Thankfully it was a short outage. The house is very clean and right on the lake with a dock which we did not take advantage of. The location servered our purpose for this trip.

Peach Bowl and hiking trip!
We were searching for something that was partially between Atlanta and Tallulah Gorge State Park. This location was the perfect fit. Secluded, yet close to our destinations and many eateries. The property was extremely comfortable and very clean. This property offered everything we needed to make our short trip feel just like home. The lake views were absolutely stunning, even during our winter stay. Would highly recommend this property. The host was very punctual with communications. Thank you for sharing your lake house with us!

Just What We Needed
This property was perfect for our quick family get-a-way! We only wish we could have stayed longer! We enjoyed coffee off of the deck and admired the lake view. We enjoyed fishing off of the dock which was a short walk from the home. We caught several bream and other fish and threw them back. Our 11 year old son really enjoyed that part of the trip! A couple of us went to the Clemson game which was a perfect 30-35 minute drive (back roads with very little traffic) There are a few great family-owned restaurants close-by, as well. We did cook breakfast one morning and the kitchen had everything we needed. If you are looking for a quite place to get away, this is it! We definitely want to stay at this cute place again when we want to go to a Clemson game or just relax for a few days in the future!

Great house in the woods
This house was great, clean and well stocked. The location on the lake was right inside a cove so the water was fresh/clean but there was little to no boat traffic. The location was down a long windy road and set in the woods but you could still see the lake while sitting in the living room looking out through 4 large windows. The host was quick to respond when needed. Of note, the 3rd bedroom is within/behind the 2nd bedroom (with a proper door but you must walk through the bedroom to get to it). It was perfect for our two kids under 10yrs old to share the small bunks but might have been too small for two adults to use. We would stay at this house again!

This is the second time we have rented this property and it couldn't have been more than perfect for our needs. The main beds are super comfortable! The location is convenient to a boat rental facility and some cute restaurants. We love Peace of Pie for pizza 🍕! The kayaks were a nice addition this year!

Ladies Trip
The drive to the property once we turned on the road was disappointing. Many of the homes were mobile homes and we felt as if we could have been in a trailer park community. Some homes had multiple junk scattered all over their front yards, while we understand this isn't the owner's issue, it was still concerning as we traveled to the property. However, our stay was very nice and the view was amazing. Maybe consider putting up some kind of privacy fence or plant trees that make the home more private. The home to the left was pleasant.

Close to Clemson!
Our family of 4 stayed here for a recent Clemson football game. This property is easily reached from I-85 and less than 30 minutes from the football stadium using all back roads - read NO TRAFFIC! House was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Kitchen well stocked and grill seemed new. Lake with dock was just a short walk down the hill - not steep. Will stay again for a easy commute to Clemson.
