The space
Accessibility: The main level of the house offers a king bedroom with bath, kitchen, living area, and covered porch overlooking the lake. Access to the terrace level and second floor requires stairs. The panoramic views and deep water mean that the dock is accessed via a steep paved path and stairs. **Older adults may find the walk to and from the dock difficult.**
Overlooking Lake Hartwell within a picturesque neighborhood with rolling hills and tree-lined streets is Happy Place at Lake Hartwell. Convenient to Greenville, Clemson, Athens and Atlanta, our house is perfect for family vacations and gameday get togethers.
Sunny days at Happy Place are spent boating, fishing, paddle boarding and kayaking, lounging, and visiting with friends and family on the screened porch and dock. When you are ready for a break, head inside to enjoy a movie, games or foosball in the large recreation room, or lounge on the covered porch.
The fun starts at the spacious dock on 24 feet of water at full pool. There you will find a paddleboard and kayak to explore the lake. Spread over the aluminum and Brazilian hardwood dock are two hammocks, a covered area with a table and chairs, and two chaise lounge chairs. Boats can be tied to the cleats along the side of the dock or use the shorter 14 foot boat slip. Low-key nights are enjoyed watching the string lights of the dock sparkle as they reflect on the ripples of water.
Inside the front door of this craftsman-styled house you will find the laundry room and a half bath. Also on the main floor is a spacious primary bedroom with a king size bed, and a private bath with double sinks. Just beyond the bedroom is the open great room with vaulted ceilings housing the fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, eating area, and living area. The dining table seats seven with three additional seats at the adjacent kitchen peninsula. The living area features a reclining sofa, loveseat, chair and 65 inch Roku TV.
French doors lead from the great room to the screened porch overlooking the lake with beautiful views. The porch offers both dining and lounging areas.
Upstairs you will find two additional spacious bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with twin beds. Both have small Roku TV's. These bedrooms share a full bath in the hallway.
Take the steps off the main floor to the NEWLY FINISHED TERRACE LEVEL where you will find a LARGE RECREATION ROOM, bunk room and full bathroom. The movie-themed rec room offers a game area with foosball, ping-pong, table and chairs, and a movie/lounge area with a leather sectional, 75 inch Roku TV and a PS4. The extra large TV is great for movies and sporting events. Beyond the rec room is a bunk room housing two sets of bunk beds and another lounge area with a futon and 50 inch Roku TV. Outside the rec room is a patio housing the gas grill and additional outdoor seating.
Thoughtful touches abound throughout the property for your comfort and convenience including: real beds in bedrooms for all guests (no fold-out couches, futons or air mattresses included in the bed count), charging stations, high-speed internet with Mesh Wifi system, motion-sensing front door light so you don't arrive in the dark, path lighting to the dock, and straightforward Roku systems on all TV's with YouTube TV streaming service offering the most popular channels.

Everything was very good, just a comment to make your stay even better, take a little more care when cleaning the appliances, the rest were great I recommend Thank you
The place was very clean and nice for our family. The check-in process was easy. The owners responded to my questions in a very quickly manner. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. The game room downstairs was a bonus.
Great place to stay for a Clemson game! East drive over to game, beautiful setting, super clean.
This home is so cute, clean, and well equipped with everything you will need for your trip to the lake. We had the best time fishing, paddle boarding, and kayaking around on the lake. Even though it was October, the sun was out and warm which made being on the lake incredibly enjoyable. We explored the surrounding towns and areas and even found a waterfall at Toccoa Falls College. We had the best time in the evening while playing ping-pong, board games, and watching movies on the large TV. We played and laughed until our bellies hurt. We will definitely book again. So grateful for the owners whose communication is spot on and have thought of everything to make your trip memorable. Five Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you're looking for a great place to stay with a lot of amenities and fun for the whole family, this is the place. Beautiful home on the lake! Kids enjoyed Kayaking and loved the game room downstairs. This home fit 10 of us very comfortably. Todd was very responsive and great to work with.
We stayed with my 3 teenage / young adults sons . There was plenty of space and a fun basement hangout. We rented a boat and tubed all over the lake. The house is clean and updated. Lots of big tvs for sport watching or movies! We ate dinner on the screened in porch every night and it’s very peaceful. The hike up and down to the lake dock is a little steep but nothing we couldn’t handle. We enjoyed the long weekend !
This lake house is an absolute gem that made for a perfect multi-family vacation location. The accommodations were great with spacious living areas and tastefully decorated interiors, it was perfect for our large group of two families with kids of all ages. The layout was well-designed, offering ample privacy for individual families while providing fantastic communal spaces for shared activities and quality bonding time. The highlight of this property was its location on the shores of Lake Hartwell where the views were awe-inspiring. The private dock offered plenty of opportunities for fun water activities, including boating, fishing, paddle boarding, and swimming – truly a paradise for water enthusiasts of all ages. Additionally, the property's proximity to various attractions and outdoor activities made it the perfect base for exploration. Whether it was hiking through nearby trails, visiting charming towns, or simply immersing ourselves in nature, there was no shortage of things to do for everyone. The property exceeded all our expectations and provided the ideal setting for a blissful multi-family vacation. If you're seeking a tranquil escape surrounded by nature's splendor, with ample space for all, and memories waiting to be made, look no further. The house is a true gem, and we cannot wait to return for another unforgettable experience!
Everything was as shown in listing. We were there for a fishing tournament and the house was well kept and very clean, parking is good for 2 trucks with boats
House has plumbing issue during our entire stay but the owners are very helpful and courteous. We will definitely stay here again if and when opportunity arrives. Thanks
Really enjoyed it. Great house!
Our family spent a week at Amy and Todd’s lake home and had an absolute wonderful time. The home is perfect for families with children of various ages as there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The dock is great for fishing and relaxing. The kids spent the majority of the week in the water which was never crowded with boats. A beautiful home and we will definitely be back.
Awesome dock and house. Lake was not crowded mid June. Owners are very helpful, timely, and you can tell they care. We will rent here again. Of note, as mentioned in other reviews, walkway from house to dock is steep. Would not recommend for anybody over 70 years old. The trek up and down consequently minimized the trips we made to the house and caused us to spend more time together on the dock...kind of a destination of sorts. Thanks for an awesome stay.
Everything was on point. The accommodations for multiple families were fenomenal. While seating on the dock, the neighbor came over and took few family member for a 90 minutes boat ride, at NO cost to is. That was the highlight for the teenagers. The only item that for me, the property need was a iron, ? I know at this DNA not everyone press the clothes Hahaha but our vacations was to witness a college graduation and during the trip the clothes got all wrinkled. Not a big deal, Family Dollar was near the property. Overall the property is amazing. We definitely are coming back.
