    Host was very welcoming and everything was great! The house is fully equipped and ready for multiple families to stay there! The teens love the game room and upstairs bunk room. The adults enjoy the stocked kitchen, laundry room and outside area. The kids also enjoyed the hot tub. Thanks for another great stay at your beautiful home! We will be back!

    My family was celebrating our Dad’s 77th birthday. We needed a home that would be large enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. This was the perfect place. It had PLENTY of seating in the main living/dining area, as well as, the outdoor patio area. The kids loved having a room big enough that could hold all their cousins for a big sleepover. The game room was also a hit and the pool was the cherry on top. Plus the beautiful lake view. My father and stepmom both have mobility issues so having the main gathering areas (both inside and outside) on the ground floor was exactly what we needed, plus no steps getting in their bedroom, bathroom, and shower. The kitchen is a cooks dream. The pantry was fully stocked with all the necessities and the owners have truly thought of everything. This place is a hidden gem.

    Amazing property. House was just as described in the listing and we couldn't have had a better time. The owner was quick to answer any questions we had during our stay and couldn't have been nicer. 10/10. Will definitely be our first choice when in the Hartwell area again.

    We really enjoyed our stay! The house was beautiful and well provisioned with everything we needed. The pool was absolutely perfect and it is as pretty as it appears in the pictures. It is also by far the largest pool we have had in a VRBO rental and my family really enjoyed it. Kevin was also very helpful and responsive and we appreciated his insights into some of the good restaurants nearby. The only minor comment that I would have is that there are no hand rails on any of the staircases in the house. My son has special needs and this made going up and down the steps challenging for him. I thought I would mention this so that anyone else in a similar situation would be aware. Overall, this is a fantastic property with great hosts and we enjoyed ourselves immensely!

    Located in a quiet neighborhood, what a wonderful home to enjoy the laid back lake life. This was our family vacation (ages 14-85 including our 4legged “child”) and it did not disappoint. Finally a kitchen well stocked to cook for a family of 12 (big pans/bowls/etc) with outdoor grill, spices, and basic kitchen needs… just bring the meat and veggies. Even in late July, we lived on the covered cool back porch and meandered to the pool and lake for swimming. The teens thoroughly enjoyed kayaking and fishing. The game room provided a retreat for the adults to have quiet time while the teens held ping ping tournaments and played Tetris. We all enjoyed movie night and even dared the heat of the jacuzzi. Overall, the stay was great and the communication from hosts was excellent. I highly recommend.

    We had a wonderful time at this home! It’s just a special place and the perfect lake getaway! The Kitchen is stocked and well prepared for big families. The teens loved the kayaks, the game room and the kid sleeping room on the second floor. They have their own private areas. We all loved the pool and the patio. It was an amazing family vacation! We will be back!

    We had a wonderful stay here at Lake Hartwell. Just a long two-week family trip with our two boys. Kevin was a great host - answered all questions quickly prior to our trip, and we only reached out once during the stay and he was very responsive and helpful. House and kitchen are fully stocked and it is a very clean and a really beautiful home. We rented a boat and had no problems using their nearby reserved community dock space. Lots of fun playing ping pong in the cool game room every night. Was just what we needed and would definitely return if coming back to this area again. You won't be disappointed!

View ofthe lake beautiful. Located on lake was best of both worlds. Deep water for swimming and in a cove for extremely minimumal boat tracffic. Perfect for children and grandcholdren. Entertaintain for outdoor sunset dinners provided with a marble var. Barbecue , sink, and even a greenegg for cooking.every wish for provided for fun on the lake. Fishing poles w/tackle, flloats, sand tpys galore. Gane room is amazing for adults and children.

    House was great. We had a lot of fun. I would rent this house again. Slightly disappointed that I was not able to put my boat in the slip/dock due to the dock not being pushed out. I even messaged the owner about the boat before I booked the trip.

    Quiet, peaceful, beautiful setting from just about every room in the house. Extremely well equipped, we lacked nothing. We loved the pool with a diving board. Pool furniture needs to be replaced. Only 2 back elements worked on the stove. Only half of the hot tub jets worked. Other than that, this place was spectacular and I would definitely return.
