Blue Rose Bungalow: Downtown vibe w/1896 charm. Lake Life. Gym. Kitchen. Parking

Awesome space

The house was very clean and comfortably furnished. The host was very responsive to inquiries and flexible in working with us to extend our stay. In addition, she arranged to have room heaters turned on before our arrival--it was very thoughtful.

A beautiful home within walking distance of the town center. Very quiet neighborhood. The heat wasnt working but the home owner provided us with lots of space heaters to keep us warm

This house was beautiful, clean and nicely decorated and equipped. The problem was it has No central heat. 3 small electric heaters and 12 ft ceilings it was so cold we couldn’t stay there. Michelle was very responsive but refused to give us our money back. There was an ice storm on the way and would have been much colder and loosing power was a big deal. We did have a generator with us but you couldn’t find propane tanks. She offered more blankets. The 3 small heaters weren’t big enough to warm 1 bedroom.

House was super nice! The host was really friendly. Lots of places were walking distance from the cute downtown.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming historic mill house in downtown Hartwell! The location is FANTASTIC — just a short walk to great restaurants, coffee shops, and local boutiques, which made exploring the area super convenient.The house itself is full of character and smartly decorated. The mattresses were extremely comfortable — we all slept so well. One of the bedrooms did get a little warm in the late afternoon, but it cooled off nicely in the evening and was very comfortable for sleeping. This was mentioned in other reviews, but was not a problem for us (we stayed in September).The host was excellent — great communication from start to finish, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches like the coffee maker stocked with pods, cream, and sugar. It made our mornings so much easier!Highly recommend this cozy spot if you're looking for a unique, comfortable stay with easy access to everything Hartwell has to offer.

Great stay and easy walk to downtown Hartwell for eating and shopping. The house is from 1896 and has alot of character. The rooms were large and plenty of space to spreadout for my wife and I traveling with our adult daughter. The kitchen was great and had everything we needed as we prepared several meals there during our 5 days/4 night stay. Loved sitting on the andorondic chairs on the front porch in the morning before it got too hot, sipping on coffee and reading my book. House was a close drive to everything we needed, interstate, Clemson, Lake Hartwell, the dam and wedding venue in SC. Communication with the owner was responsive and honest. Would stay here again when in the area.

I loved the big claw tub. The location is perfect to see Hartwell.

It is in great proximity to town, is very well-appointed, and is comfortable. The host was very helpful with booking and checking in.

It is a very nice remodeled old house in a great location. The A/C needs replaced will not keep house cool.

My family and I thought the home was charming and in a great location; however, the air conditioning didn’t seem to cool the house enough for my family and I to be comfortable, especially in the evening when trying to wind down. Also, the hot water in the showers seemed to not get hot or even warm.

The Blue Rose home was well-decorated and full of amenities. The clawfoot tub in the master bathroom was such a treat! Our ONLY complaint is that It was a hot weekend and the A/C was not working. We easily communicated with the host to figure out what the problem could be. After being hot for too long and the troubleshooting not working, the host offered to send out maintenance but said it would take appx. 2 hours for them to get there--it was already close to 9pm so we declined the offer. We appreciated the attentiveness and effort to remedy the problem. Like I said, the home was lovely and in a great location. We will stay again if we can be assured that the A/C works consistently.

Location is wonderful and walking distance to the cute downtown area of Hartwell. We enjoyed a few restaurants there. The AC unit is very old and cannot keep up with the 100-year-old home. It never felt cool in the home when walking in from the heat outside. The second night, we had to sleep with 2 box fans and an oscillating fan pointed toward the bed to get any relief. It was 78 degrees in the home. I messaged the owner, and they know that the unit is old and have plans to replace it. I would not stay here again during the summer until the AC is replaced.
