Diamond Pointe is a private home that offers an unrivaled lake experience for family and friend gatherings. *** please note 20 guests is the limit at all times. Limited availability to guests at only 70 nights of rentals/year, then the calendar is closed. This waterfront retreat features an extremely private setting with over 1100 feet of lake frontage and no other docks in sight. Guests can spread out among 7 bedroom spaces in addition to a loft, all of which will sleep 20 total people. Guests will also have access to 6 full bathrooms and 2 full kitchens. A towering stone fireplace serves as a focal point for the main living area which is an architectural highlight. The cabin feel and handcrafted wooden features take you into the mountains while remaining lakeside. The main living area also features extensive windows and natural lighting that brings the environment into the space. The large exterior deck provides wonderful lake views from the various seating areas or from the second level hot tub. The lower level includes an expansive den with space to accommodate family and friends with additional outside seating areas. There is also a billiards space, and a poker table area for various recreation preferences. The property features a circular driveway with space to park numerous vehicles including a full size Pickleball court.

There is a short walk with a slight grade to the private dock where you can park your own private watercraft or rent one from the house (if available) for an additional fee. The rental boat is a 2025 Godfrey Pontoon with a 150hp outboard motor and seats 15. The boat may be at the dock, but there is space on the other side for a separate rental or personal watercraft. The landing to launch a boat is right around the corner, less than 1/2 mile. Deep water and a perfectly situated property for sunrise views make this retreat among the most desirable on the lake. The property includes a kayak launch with 5 kayaks provided (3 adult, 2 child) in conjunction with the rental. Paddleboards are also available for an additional fee. In addition to being a secluded venue to enjoy the lake with your family and friends, the property is located within a protected shoreline area as defined by the Army Corps of Engineers including its designation as a bird sanctuary. As such, experienced birdwatchers as well as those that just enjoy the sounds of nature will find the area quite pleasant and natural. Local fishing charters are available. Not only is fishing and recreation on Lake Hartwell unmatched during the summer, the lake is also ranked as one of the top winter fishing destinations in the country (https://fishingbooker.com/blog/winter-fishing-destinations/). Lake Hartwell also ranks as one of the cleanest lakes in the country (https://www.travelandleisure.com/cleanest-lakes-in-usa-11920913). Guests travel only 23 miles to and from Clemson Football games and graduations while avoiding the main thoroughfares. This amazing home is easily accessible from I85 (Exit 4).

***Please note that pets are strictly NOT permitted at this facility.

WiFi available is via fiber optic cable. The signal is strong and reliable.

Diamond Pointe is privately owned and managed. We (owners/property managers) may be residing in a separate guest house on the grounds for at least a portion of your visit. The guest house is not connected to the main house in which you will be residing. We can be available to address questions or assist, but will leave you to enjoy your stay at Diamond Pointe otherwise. We look forward to providing an exceptional getaway for your group.

    This is one of the few properties where the listing doesn’t do it justice. It feels like you’re the only ones on the lake. Everything in the house is functional. It feels like someone’s home, not a short term rental. The hosts also went the extra mile to make sure our stay was magical.

    Very spacious kitchen/living room area to accommodate large family gatherings with beautiful porch and view.Outstanding air conditioning which is very important on hot muggy lake days.Very good bedroom layout enabling privacy for all guests.Very well maintained pontoon boat for rent.Hosts are cordial, professional, and responsive.Multiple rooms/areas/spaces allowed for quiet on days when various guests had to work remotely while on vacation.Dock is the only one in this cove so no boats pass through so very safe for children to swim. Also adds to privacy.Well worth the investment.

    We had a large family gathering which we’ve been trying to put together for the last five years. The house was absolutely perfect and superb. The boat was a blast. Sean and David were gems, especially when the electricity went out and they travel 30 minutes to bring us lights and a little generator. Luckily the electricity came back on in a few hours and the rest of the vacation was amazing. We will definitely try to come back here because we don’t know of any place finer than this. Thank you, Sean and David!

    Diamond Pointe is a spectacular rental home which accomodates 20. It is a spacious gathering place which provided ample indoor and outdoor entertainment for our family reunion of 3 generations. The owner was responsive to handle a minor repair, and didn’t charge our group for a broken kayak paddle. I highly recommend this rental property.

    This beautiful home was exactly what we were looking for on Lake Hartwell. Our large, extended family all gathered to attend our niece's wedding (on the GA side of the lake just 30 minutes away). 16 adults & 2 little ones spanning 4 generations! The home is easy to get to from GSP and has everything one would need for a fabulous family event. Pickleball and the firepit were the biggest entertainment hits! The kitchen is very well equipped and all of the beds were comfortable. We bothered Shawn with at least a dozen questions before our arrival and she was always quick to respond. Thank you for having us!!

    We had a lot of fun at this house. Plenty of room to spread out or share spaces together with large groups. The view was beautiful with the sun glistening off the water. Their was plenty to do here with the Pickleball court, pool table, and kayaks.

    The property is so much more than you see on the description. The owners are friendly and helpful and so easy to work with! The house is spacious and beautiful and can hold so many people easily. The dock is very accessible. We rented the owners’ pontoon boat and were able to get out on beautiful Lake Hartwell together. We had an unusual stay as we checked in on Thursday at 4 and the hurricane rolled through early the next morning. The owners went to great lengths to help us in the midst. Very kind. Beautiful location, stunning home, perfect getaway for a big family.

    Shawn was a great host and the property exceeded expectations. She let us check in early (again sorry about that), we rented the boat, and had a blast. The house is massive, clean and very accommodating. Highly recommend. Will likely stay again.

    Our stay at FairPlay was the best experience possible. The house was perfect for our family. The grandkids had a marvelous time in the lake and the weather was perfect. Our host was super accommodating and I am certain we will consider returning another time. Thanks Shawn.
