Lakefront Bungalow/Deep Water/Boat Dock/Clemson

Home away from Home
We planned a relaxing vacation to visit with our daughter who is a Junior at Clemson University. Location was perfect for that as well other amenities such as groceries, restaurants and shopping. Our stay was clean, organized and right on the water of Lake Hartwell. The neighborhood is safe with friendly neighbors. Brian and Victoria did an excellent job of communicating through evey step of the check in and check out process. We feel that the Budding Bungalow is now our “ Home away from Home “ and we hope to revisit soon! Sincerely, Brett and Merideth

Great little hideaway
Family of 5 stayed there for a weekend for the Rock the Country music festival. House is cute and fun and clean. On the water with its own dock it’s great for swimming or boating. Super time would stay there again. The owners were great communicators.

Great place. Smelled clean when we first entered. Great communication with hosts. Good location. Really appreciated the covered dock with fenders installed so we could tie up the boat easily and charge it with the long cable they provide. Nice cove with nice neighbors.

Great step off at the lake
Very lovely time at the lake. Hosts were very thoughtful. House was very easy. Beds great. Kitchen well stocked for cooking which we love. Spent 4-5 hours a day swimming and floating off the dock in deep water. Very quiet cove. Friendly neighbors. Highly recommended. Will definitely book again. We were looking for and found a great step off from our busy lives.

Cute and convenient.
The hosts are fantastic and very detailed oriented when communicating from beginning to end! Super convenient to get on the water by using the slip. The house is cute and everything is labeled so it’s easy to navigate. Neighbors are friendly too! The walkway/driveway is a tad steep but nothing that would make me give less than five stars. Thank you!!

The Budding Bungalo was absolutely perfect for a long weekend with our little family. Lots of living space to spread out and the kitchen was perfectly stocked to cook up some quick meals in between boat rides. We will definitely be back!

Great place!
The house is newly updated and very comfortable. We were there for my son’s graduation from Clemson, which was only a 25 minute drive. We got in so late the night before and were relieved that they had a nice coffee set up for the morning. Our host was very communicative and helpful. The beds were comfortable and everything was spotless. We enjoyed coffee on the dock to start the day. Although not there for a vacation we thought it would be a nice place to get away to. The house made our graduation weekend easy! And I love the way they decorate! Very minimal and cozy at the same time!

Cute Lake House
Nice quite little place to stay. House was clean inside. The master bed sagged on one side due to a poor bedframe. Only one kitchen hand towel, one hand towel for each bathroom. No short glasses for cocktails. kayaks were too dirty to use and I didn't want to take the time to clean them. I'd still go back again.

Weekend Get-away
This was a long weekend celebration for my husband’s birthday & we had a great time! Budding bungalow is so beautiful & comfortable. Its location in a peaceful quiet cove makes it the perfect place to relax & enjoy the water. And it’s an easy drive to surrounding towns & restaurants including lakeside grills. We’re certain others will enjoy the property as much as we did ❤️

We loved our stay!
We enjoyed our time at this lovely home on Lake Hartwell. We kayaked, fished, and rented a pontoon boat for the week. The kids loved being down on the dock and quiet waters. The home fit our needs perfectly and our hosts were always available for questions or assistance. It was such a relaxing week and we look forward to returning again.

Clemson Family Weekend
It was a perfect weekend staying on the Lake 27 minutes away from the campus of Clemson University. We were able to fish, cook and spend time together with family. The Bungalow is freshly remodeled and super clean. It has everything and everything is uniquely labeled, that little touch made the stay a pleasant experience. Thank you Brian and Victoria for allowing us to visit, we certainly hope to come back soon.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was cute and very clean. The host was responsive and friendly. The home was exactly as listed. We were there Sunday - Wednesday and the cove was calm and quiet. We brought our boat and loved that we had a covered slip to park it. There was also plenty of space for our trailer at the house. We'd definitely stay again.

Absolutely perfect inside and out! Victoria and Brian are wonderful hosts. They have thought of every detail. The house is wonderful…beautifully decorated and furnished, located on a quiet cove with easy access to open water. Great dock set up for boating, fishing, kayaking or just relaxing. We rented a jet ski for two days from Sea Jay Powersports…such a great way to experience the lake. Perfect weekend getaway for our family of four!
