Swim, fish, canoe, kayak, paddle boat and enjoy the lake from the dock. Roast marshmallows around the bonfire. Tugaloo Park is 1.5 miles away - enjoy the amenities - beach, tennis, picnic area, mega boat ramps with parking fee.

Rocking chairs on the screen porch with electric fireplace over look the lake, deer feeder, fire pit and gentle sloping path to the dock. Updated kitchen and sitting area with a dinner table for eight. Ensuite with king and full bath on main floor. Downstairs has a large bunk room with two queen/twin bunks and one twin/twin bunk plus full bathroom.

The daylight terrace level family room has a washer/dryer closet and also leads to patio. BBQ grill is propane and charcoal; bring your own fuel. Nearly 1.5 acre wooded lot offers private get away. Concrete parking for 4+ cars with stairs leading down to cabin.

We offer a paddle boat, 2 canoes and 1 kayak with paddles and life jackets.

My favorite part of this cabin is that there are no homes within 150 feet. You may see deer, birds, eagles, hawks and other wildlife.

A pretty good lakeside cabin
This cabin was nice. There were dirty dishes in the sink upon arrival, and the downstairs had deodorizers to mask a musty smell. The lake is beautiful and deer were everywhere.

Hartwell Lake Cabin
Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay here. Bill, the host, is gracious. The location is beautiful, the cabin is charming and has everything you need to prepare a nice meal, play on the lake, sit by the fire or just relax and rewind. We lost one of our 2 dogs recently and brought our old golden retriever with us for some healing time. She had a blast swimming, chasing the minnows near the dock, watching Fred the duck and the deer saunter by. All and all a great little place for a lake getaway.

Lake cabin
Stayed here with my husband for long weekend celebrating our anniversary. We were looking for a place with lake access and fun for our water loving labs. This place did not disappoint! Very secluded and wooded. Dogs had fenced in area outside and loved jumping off the dock. The amount of deer that visited was amazing! We also had a very friendly duck visit every morning! House was very well stocked and decor was relaxing and cute. Would definitely visit again.

Perfect Lake house.
We had a wonderful stay here. The house was perfect for our family with every amenity you could need or want. The lake is beautiful and we enjoyed the kayaks and the paddle boat. If you love wildlife you will love this place. The deer are everywhere and you get to feed them which I loved. And Fred….IYKYK. We will be back.

Lots to like about this Lake House
We enjoyed our stay and loved so much about the house: The kitchen is well stocked The back porch is lovely to hang out Loved the grills, kayaks, corn hole Internet connection a good 90% Lots of towels AC worked well (it was hot hot hot) Enjoyed the deer and Fred the Duck! The only reason we might not return is the comfort of the beds. Also the dock would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Due to water levels being low there are two 2X4s and a pallet rigged up to extend to the dock.

Nice Spot on Lake Hartwell
Great location especially if you have multiple kids. The downstairs bedroom has multiple bunk beds allowing kids their space. Tons of deer come to the feeder when you place corn in it. Would rent again.

Perfect stay!
Pictures don't do this place justice! Aside from beautiful & plentiful furnishings, the area itself was breathtaking and did our suburban souls good! From watching deer families come & go to meeting Fred the Muscovy duck and watching the squirrels play chase, our stay was solid 10. The beds were comfortable, the water was hot & the kitchen was fully stocked...the only thing missing was maybe a pizza wheel for when we didn't really feel like cooking ;) Wonderful getaway, thank you having this place available.

Great Place For An Early Summer Getaway
Bill's place is lovely and was great for a long birthday weekend trip for our foster daughter. It meets or exceeds the photos in the listing. We appreciated the wagon to carry our things down to the water. We also liked that you don't have to go up & down flights of stairs to get to & from the lake. Do be aware that there is a flight of stairs down from the driveway, then back up into the cottage. I did contact Bill during our stay & he responded quickly. We enjoyed swimming & fishing from the dock - didn't catch much, but we did get a few. Didn't get a chance to use the canoe & kayaks, but all the equipment was available. One thing to note about the wi-fi, we brought our own streaming stick and it and both of our phones connected & remained connected for (the vast majority of) our entire stay. The LR TV, which is just a few feet from the router, and the basement TV both struggled to stay connected. To his credit, Bill tried to resolve the situation, but not much he could do. Cudos for the effort Overall, a great place to stay at a peaceful place. Highly recommended!

Perfect Family Getaway
The lake house couldn't have been a more perfect place for our family to celebrate my daughter's graduation from Clemson, her 21st birthday and Mother's Day. Plenty of space and everything we needed. Viewing all kinds of nature on the cozy comfy porch. Grilling hot dogs and smores at the firepit. Swimming in the lake, sunbathing on the dock, canoeing, kayaking and paddleboating. A great time was had by all and cherished memories were made. What a beautiful property! Just what we needed.

We had an opportunity to go to Lake Hartwell for a wedding. We saw this posting and corresponded briefly with Bill, the host. He was extremely prompt in responding. The property was fantastic. I definitely recommend it. Bill notes some wildlife in the post. We did have a duck and deer that liked to taunt the pup, which was very funny.

Wonderful getaway with all the comforts of home. Beautiful sunset from back of the back pf the property overlooking the lake. Not a great fishing venue, but was fun trying! The owners think of everything. They even have deer corn and bird food to feed the wildlife. Nice sized fenced area for the dogs. I highly recommend this venue for family gatherings or couple's retreat. It was just me and my daughter this trip. We had a great time making hotdogs and smores in the firepit. Very relaxing few days. Makes me want to sell my house in SC and find a cute place like this one.
