Just 30 minutes from Clemson with private dock on deep, year-round water!

Walk up to the front door past the bistro set where you'll later enjoy a cup of coffee overlooking beautiful Lake Hartwell.

Inside on the main level you will find an open area combining a super comfortable sitting area with room for the whole family, and the dining area, with seating for six at the table, along with two bar stools at the breakfast bar. In the kitchen, you'll have everything you need, witha coffee pot, microwave, stove, and dishwasher. The side-by-side fridge makes ice quickly to keep your drinks cool on those hot days out at the lake.

But that's not what you came for, is it Outside the sliders, you'll find a huge, screened-in porch with great views down to the LAKE. Two ceiling fans keep you cool when it's hot and there is plenty of seating for whatever you want to do, whether it be relaxing, eating, drinking, or even playing games. A three-burner Weber grill is just outside the porch to handle those tasty grill nights!

Back inside, you'll find stairs to a large loft that has a queen sleeper sofa and comfy chair, plus a game table, and a 43 TV. A couple ceiling fans make sure the temperature stays just right.

On the main level, down the hallway are the master bedroom with a king-size bed, and a second bedroom with queen. Both bedrooms have their own bathroom - one with a tub and one with an easy-access shower. All bathrooms have towels, hair dryers, and body wash.

Head downstairs to the HUGE rec room. There is a pool table and bar area on one side, with comfy furniture and a 60 TV on the other. Down the hallway here, you'll find a bathroom, the Cave (queen bedroom), the Bunker (two twin bunk beds), and the laundry room. In the hall closet, you will find a first aid kit, and some lake toys.

Back out to the rec room, you'll see two sliders giving you access to the covered patio, with another table and plenty of chairs for hanging out. You're also right above the firepit area, which is surrounded by hanging lights for the perfect ambience.

Travel down the mulch path to the floating dock with plenty of room to sit, swing, jump in the water, and park your boat. There are two tandem kayaks on the walkway, plus a single for kids or smaller adults - remember to wear your life vest; there are some in the dock box. There is room to park your boat in the slip with the lift, or on either side of the dock. The water is 15 feet deep at the end of the dock at full pool (660'), and the channel is a solid 25-27 feet all the way across. Bring your fishing rods and see what you can catch right off the dock.

You will also have access to the Foxwood Hills Clubhouse, which is only half a mile away. During the summer (Memorial Day to Labor Day), you can use the Olympic size pool. There are also tennis/pickleball courts, a basketball court, and a nice playground for little ones. If you don't feel like cooking, stop in Thursdays through Saturdays for dinner at the restaurant.

While we are out in the country a bit, you do have a convenience store five minutes away (less than 2 miles) for anything you need in a pickle - milk, bread, ice, firewood, gas, etc!

There is a gas station, Dollar General, liquor store (closed Sundays), and pizza place less than 15 minutes away on SC-11. You're also about 20 minutes from Seneca and 30 from Clemson.

There are some fabulous hiking trails with waterfalls in the area - be sure to check out Stumphouse Tunnel and Yellow Branch Falls!

Boat Info:
We have a single slip dock with a swim platform. The slip has a lift, but you can also tie your boat up on either side of the dock. The closest boat ramp is the Choestoea Boat Ramp - 2.1 miles away by car and 3.4 miles by boat. There is plenty of room in the driveway/front yard to park your trailer. If you would like to rent a boat, we recommend Harbor Light Marina. It's 25 minutes away by car and takes about 30-40 minutes to boat back to the house.

    We had a great time on the lake! House was big enough for everyone, the multiple living spaces were very convenient. Host was very responsive. Kids loved the lake toys and the lake was beautiful. We had a great week.

    Very nice house on the lake. Clean, well-equipped (coffee pods, towels, sheets, toilet paper, paper towels, plenty of kitchen cooking items, etc), comfortable beds, kayaks. They have a nice fire table on the deck that we enjoyed in the cool night air (ran out of propane while we were there so we ended up exchanging a tank so we could use the grill). Located about 35-40 min from Clemson area. Good communication from the owners. No problems encountered during our stay. Definitely recommend!

    Loved every second of being at this house, we didn’t even want to go anywhere else. Beautiful, spacious, clean house with some pretty amazing views. Having a lake in the back yard was so much fun as we went paddle boarding and kayaking every day, several times a day. We would definitely like to go back soon!l. The hosts are pretty amazing too! Thank you, thank you, to them!

    Our family recently stayed at this beautiful home to celebrate our mom's 65th birthday, and it exceeded all of our expectations! The house was spacious and beautifully decorated, providing a perfect setting for our special occasion. We especially loved spending time on the lake, making great use of the provided kayaks and enjoying swimming together. It was truly a memorable stay, and we can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!

    Spacious house with plenty of room for our family of 8. The lake and dock were amazing and there was everything we needed to enjoy it! Home had so many amenities, from kayaks to extra pillows, and board games! Definitely recommend! Also, I would recommend stocking up on some necessary food staples at the grocery store, as it is a bit of a drive to restaurants.

    Yes, all six of us enjoyed our two week stay. It sure was a vacation we will talk about forever. We had fun swimming with the rafts, your Kayak's and we rented a pontoon boat for three days the first week of our vacation as my Grandson was able to enjoy it along with the five of us, as he had only a week as had to return to work the second week.Thank you so very much for sharing your lovely home with us. Most sincerely, Mary Rosasco and Family.:)

    Lots of space. We even had a few people that had to work a day or two and had room to could get away. Nice area, easy walk to the dock, loved the pool. Enjoyed the screened porch. limited seating in the living room because the wicker was terribly uncomfortable.

    What a great place to stay if you have grandkids. We had teenagers and small children. Everyone enjoyed swimming on the lake, paddle boarding, and just relaxing! It was also very easy to bring the boat we rented to the house dock. Highly recommend!
