BOOK FOR A WEEK (7 nights) AND GET 15% DISCOUNT! Come relax at Lake Place Retreat where multi-level decks overlook the quiet serenity of our deep-water cove on Lake Hartwell. Time spent at Lake Place Retreat will help you unwind with boating, swimming, hiking, or simply resting. We are minutes from Tugaloo State Park, Harbor Light Marina (boat rental available), and the Poplar Springs Boat Launch.
Lake Place Retreat features a great room with a stone fireplace, a large sunroom/dining room, hardwood floors throughout, and whitewashed shiplap walls. Watch the game on one of the flat-screen TVs or enjoy the lake view through the wall of windows in the great room. Granite countertops complement the fully-equipped kitchen. Also on the main floor, we have a master bedroom (king) with en suite bathroom, a second bedroom (queen) with a full hall bathroom, and a laundry room with washer/dryer. Upstairs, you will find a cozy sleeping loft with two beds (twin), the third bedroom (queen) and third full bathroom with tub. A grill and rocking chairs sit on a covered side porch that joins the expansive dual-level deck overlooking the lake. Eight can easily dine on the deck at both high- and low-top tables. Yet another smaller deck can be found off the sunroom. Cozy up to a fire on our large fire pit patio with built-in benches and several Adirondack chairs. Our convenient basement storage room is stocked with two paddle boards and an assortment of floats. Bring your own fishing gear and secure a fishing license and you'll be set. A gently sloping lot with a pea gravel path guides you toward the single-slip covered dock. The deep-water cove opens to Lake Hartwell's pristine 56,000 acres where you can enjoy all aspects of water sports, fishing, and swimming.
Minutes away lies historic Lavonia where quaint shops and restaurants offer a pleasant change from the hustle and bustle of the city. A 30-minute drive will take you Commerce, GA, home to the Tanger Outlets. Clemson University's famous Death Valley stadium is about 45 minutes away. An hour's drive offers the great dining and night life of Athens, shopping at the Mall of Georgia in Buford, or all that up-and-coming downtown Greenville, SC, has to offer.
Please note that while we encourage families, our home is not baby-proofed. We are the perfect spot for multi-generations to stay together away from the stuffy, separateness of a hotel, for the late-night bonding of a girls' trip weekend, or for a few couples who enjoy the "pre-social-media days" of true friendships and real connections. We invite you to come enjoy the charm and peacefulness of our Lake Place Retreat.
Everything was great
Amazing property. Everything exceeded expectations. Elizabeth is a great host and we appreciate the weekend in the woods!
Great place and location. We had an awesome time and Clemson beat Notre Dame.
Beautiful property in a quiet part of Lake Hartwell. Our family (kids and adults) had a wonderful time. The home was spacious and the back porch was lovely to relax on. Tugaloo State Park is nearby if you bring your boat. Would stay again!
This is one of the best homes our group has rented. It was very clean and well furnished. The kitchen is compact, but has everything you could need. The small porch fridge is great for soft drinks. The upstairs worked well for my nephew and his family. The four adult women shared the downstairs bedrooms. The beds were comfortable. It was nice to have 3 bathrooms. The laundry room was convenient also. A/c and ceiling fans kept the home cool during very hot weather. We were able to play games in the sunroom and others could visit or watch tv in the living room. The walk to the lake was gradual and easy to navigate. It does have one steep step. The dock worked well for launching kayaks and paddleboards. We were able to swim off it also and the water was clean. The first floor is very accessible for anyone with limited mobility, but there are steps into the home. The step to the porch is a little steep. Phone service is spotty but there is internet. The owners were very responsive to any questions. I would recommend this home and hope to rent it again.
I have never stayed at a VRBO that had such a greatly stocked kitchen. You made it easy fir us to cook and store food as well as do laundry when needed. The dock was great for swimming and fishing from. We enjoyed our vacation and had to bring very little with us. We hope to be back sometime.
We spent 2 wonderful weeks at this beautiful lake house. The house and boat dock are just as described. We enjoyed the location on the lake both by land and water. The cove is quiet for swimming and convenient to the lake channel by boat. We enjoyed dinner on the deck most evenings. Communication with the host was excellent. Everything about this property is awesome. Thank you Elizabeth!
We came back because we really liked the house. The experience was as excellent as last time.
Visited with Family and enjoyed all things about house and area
First and foremost, the owners communicated expectations and were very responsive to questions. Unfortunately, the fire pit was destroyed right before your stay. The owners were up front and let us know right away what happened, and even provided pictures. We chose to stay and were not disappointed. The house was extremely clean and welcoming. The kitchen, though small, was well stocked. Highly recommend.
First family trip with our new Grandson, we all had a wonderful time and the house and property was perfect for this trip. Thank you
Very happy as always by the ease of communication, the beauty of the property, location, and the true home away from home feel. We did more cooking than last visit this time and found everything we needed in the kitchen to accommodate all of our guests. I’ll definitely be back for a third visit in the future.
Would stay there again. Great property and location and alternative to hotel gouging in Clemson
Hosts were great! House was lovely and well equipped. Really enjoyed our getaway!
Perfect place to get away from the hustle of daily life - basking in the sun on the dock, reading on the deck, walking along the tree shaded roads and afternoon naps inside or out! Property description and pictures actuate.
Everything was just as described. Communication with the owners was very good. We had a great time and would enjoy staying again.
Mrs. Beth has always been an exceptional host and the house is perfect! Has EVERYTHING you need from towels to cooking utensils to lake toys! This is the 3rd year in row that my family has been here and it never disappoints!
This is our second summer staying at this property and we can not recommend it enough! The house is perfect - love all the outdoor spaces - and inside is just as listed. Very clean. The lake is gorgeous.
My husband, daughter, 2 grandkids, and 5 other family women just completed our stay at this wonderful (no exaggeration) lake house last week, and all of us had only praise and positive things to say about it! The description and photos of the property hardly do it enough justice, because it is all that and more! The home itself is very classy, so nicely decorated, roomy and comfortable in all locations! There is a well stocked kitchen and many water toys/accessories that are available to renters, and the lake itself was private for our group, but lots of fun and relaxing, too. We felt so happy when we got there because it was even better than we had expected! Elizabeth and Keith, the property managers, were completely friendly, accommodating and helpful at every stage of our rental, and they provided such great information for us. All of us want to rent this home again and will likely try to find times every year to go there! I would recommend it without reservation. You will not be disappointed!
My family and I enjoy our weekend at this retreat this was our 4th fathers days spent at the lake this was the nicest place so far.
We very much enjoyed our stay at lake place retreat. They had everything we needed indoor and outdoor for our vacation. The location and access to the lake was perfect for us! We loved being able to spend time inside and relax in the sunroom and great room, as well as, on the deck area. We needed more time to enjoy everything but it was great for our family! We would definitely go back!
The owners were very accommodating and provided great information for us to have an amazing stay! The house and location were perfect. We loved the sunroom and big deck!
