Lake Hartwell, SC - 3BR, Sleeps 8, Lake Front, Hot Tub, Game Room!

Positives: 1) location-close to 85, quiet cove 2) amenities- very nice dock w/ upper deck for enjoying sunset/screened in porch/upper deck with seating. If you have a boat it’s calm water for keeping at their dock. 3) good layout for entertaining- formal dining/conversation area/family room w/partial bar 4) furniture very functional 5)quiet neighborhood Negatives: 1)needs updating 2)minimally stocked w/ essentials 3)broken/non working fixtures/appliances etc. 4)needs pest treatment. Cockroaches/spiders etc. 5)extremely steep hill. I would not recommend for anyone over 60. They should provide use of the golf cart for getting to and from the dock.

The property was great and plenty of space. Highly recommend a good deep clean. Cabinets, baseboards need cleaning. Porch light needs replacing. We did find replacement bulbs for the inside, as there were several lights that were out. Remote control for the tv in the game room did not work.

This was an awsome stay. The lake was beauiful the hot tub was incredible. Only issue was i didnt recieve the information about how to get in/ specificstions about the stat until I called on my way to the property.

I was grateful for sharing this family home with my family. We had a great birthday dinner for my husband with my children. My son loved fishing off the dock.It is clearly a family home which I loved. Imagine cousins convening for mini celebrations. I would love to know the stories.Overall I liked the place. The parts I did not care for are that are my elderly mother would not be able to come here because the house had many levels and steps - to any bedroom. It is a multiple split level.The steps to the dock are steep. It is a long way down.The game room in the basement needs work due to visible mold with strong smell of mold and mildew. Fridge in game room reeks of leftover bait. Don’t open it!Otherwise it’s a good lakehouse for cousins holiday gatherings or maybe for a groomsmen gathering and has fishing and hunting subtle decor themes, and is good for sitting on the dock and pondering life.My favorite time was gathering around the table for dinner in the nook. “Open concept” is overrated and I liked this about the kitchen.While I cooked dinner, the kids and my husband played a game sitting in the four leather seats. Nice space for board games or cards or enjoying coffee.Thanks for sharing your place with us.

This house was perfect the split mater bedroom upstairs was great. The neighbors were polite and friendly. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone.

I would recommend this house to anyone.

We had an incredibly disappointing and stressful experience at this rental. Shortly into our stay, raw sewage backed up into the house, flooding the game room and causing a foul, lingering odor throughout the home. Per the plumber, roots got into the septic tank. The water had to be shut off for several days, making the property unlivable. We had to move into a hotel at our own expense, and ultimately check out early.The owner initially acknowledged the issue and assured us a refund and hotel reimbursement would be provided, but then stopped responding entirely. We were left to cover the cost of alternative accommodations on top of the rental fee for a home we could no longer use. This level of negligence and lack of accountability is unacceptable.To make matters even worse, the owner knew this property was rented for my son's college graduation celebration. He never even apologized.I would strongly caution anyone considering this property. In addition to the serious health and safety issues, the lack of communication and follow-through from the owner made a terrible situation even worse.I have contacted VRBO and am awaiting response from them.

enjoyed my stay

We had several family members together for a family wedding nearby for an extended weekend. The house is beautiful and I love the different levels so everyone feels they have a private space. We were there when Hurricane Helene passed through knocking trees and lines down. Mark was very helpful and communicative in helping ensure we still had a great time together and we got a generator up and running to save the food in the fridge. He was an excellent host and I definitely want to come back again and enjoy all this home has to offer - with no natural disasters hopefully ?

We booked this house for parent's weekend at Clemson. The drive to campus was about 23 min. We shared the house with another family. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The new porches were beautiful and the dock with nice deep water off the end was nice place to layout and swim.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. It was perfect because everyone had their own space. The water was deep enough that we could float and play all day just by using the dock. The chairs on the dock were perfect for my morning coffee. We look forward to staying here again.

Family vacation at Lake Hartwell. Great place for the family. Host was very helpful. Fishing right from the dock. Central location on Lake Harwell. Nice deck for eating outside. We brought a wagon to help with taking things down to the dock and back up to the house.

This is a very nice place to bring your family and enjoy the lake setting. The place feels right at home and the owner communication was 2nd to none. I have booked several trips lately and this was by far the best experience.
