Full lake pictures shown from our dock are normal spring/summer levels and not representative of current lake levels.

Great stay at Lake Hartwell!

Lots of room for the whole family or multiple families! Short, easy walk to the lake and this location is practically on a sand bar so you stand or swim; your choice! House has everything you need and plenty of bathrooms. Not too far from Clemson but not right downtown so plan accordingly for food and restaurants.

Great Lake House for a Big Family

Great Place to Reconnect with Family

We had a great time enjoying the private dock, kayaks, and stand up paddle board. The house had ample space to hang out, including a great deck off the back of the house. The firepit was a nice place to enjoy each other’s company in the evening. We felt very fortunate to find this property to suit our large family.

Great stay, despite weather challenges

The property was exactly what we wanted. Clean, comfortable, functional, and lots of privacy to relax and enjoy a weekend without neighbors on top of you. Hurricane Helene came through while we were there, but the house held up great and the casement windows throughout let us regulate the temperature. It took a minute, but we found the emergency candles and were able to enjoy the evenings and grill out for food. Would 10 of 10 stay there again.

Overall Great Stay

The listing says there is a hot tub, no hot tub on property. We were a bit disappointed. Other than the lack of hot tub everything was great. Well stocked, clean, and spacious. Our little group had a wonderful time visiting with family and relaxing here. There was even a Christmas tree set up, we took some family photos around it.

Great lake access for multiple family vacation.

Three families (6 adults, 7 kids ages 2-12) stayed for a summer week here and had a blast. Spent most of our time during the day at the dock or on the water. Perfect, quiet cove is 5 minutes by car or boat to Friendship Boat Ramp if you have a boat. Dock is nice with covered boat slip. We also used their kayaks and SUP all day every day. Yes, it's a steep walk up from the lake to the house, but that's true of most Hartwell houses, and the beautiful Foothills are a big part of the beauty of the lake. Great waterfalls and hiking within an hour away. Lots of recreation areas on the lake as well if you don't have a boat. House is great for families. Main floor has nice master and master bath along with main living area and kitchen. We spent most of our time here. Upstairs only has one bathroom for the three bedrooms and is a little dated, but there is a lot of space up there and is very comfortable. Bottom floor is it's own apartment with small kitchen, master bedroom and bath along with 2 smaller living areas with pull out couches and the 1/2 bath. Easy parking for at least 4 cars, and there was even a place for us to keep our boat trailer out of the way. Lots of other great things - the listing very accurately describes the house and what to expect. Owners were very easy to reach and very responsive to our requests.

Overall, we had a great stay and would consider booking this property again. The house was very clean, and the rooms were incredibly spacious, making it comfortable for our group. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with cookware, utensils, and everything we needed to prepare meals. We also appreciated having access to the kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, which were a nice bonus.The only downside was that the lake level was very low during our stay, making the waterfront inaccessible for boats. We specifically chose this property because it was lakefront, so it was disappointing that this wasn’t mentioned in the listing before we booked. While we understand lake levels are outside the owner’s control, it would be helpful for future guests if current conditions or potential seasonal water level changes were disclosed.Aside from that, the property itself was wonderful, and we enjoyed our stay.

My son was graduating from Clemson and needed a spacious home for all of us to stay. This home was perfect! The downstairs apartment was great for my son and his friends to hang out, while the “older” people hung out upstairs. We went in December, so the water was low, but it looked like incredible fun could be had in the summer. The view of the lake was incredible, the coziness of the home was amazing, and the host was quick to answer any questions.
