Great location right on the water

We were visiting for a fishing tournament. Location to green pond was so convenient. House accommodated our two families perfectly. Easy boat parking and the water was beautiful. Kids loved the kayaks, paddle boards and canoes. If we are lucky enough to make it back to the national championship next year… we would definitly stay here again.

Fun times

Property is located on a quiet cove on a quiet street. We enjoyed the kayak, canoe and wish we had rented the pontoon boat. The fire pit was a hit! Owner has made many updates to the home including bathrooms and kitchen. New paint throughout the home was very cheerful. We enjoyed dinner at The Local Pub and Eatery located very close to property. Owner was very accommodating and we enjoyed our short stay.

Cute and Quiet Lakefront Beauty

We loved this house and would definitely stay again. The owners were amazingly responsive to all of our needs and went out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable. The location is on a quiet inlet of the lake, but we had great access when using the pontoon boat we rented from the owners. We enjoyed fishing from the dock and exploring the area. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We would absolutely rent this house again.

We did have an issue with the kitchen sink, but we contacted the home owner and he came and repaired it within a couple of hours! My husband and 4yr grandson caught some nice fish off the dock!!

Beautiful Location on Lake Hartwell

This is a cute home with lake access and a dock in a quiet area. It has a large yard leading down to the lake. We rented the pontoon boat from Troy and Renee and also made use of the brand new paddle boards. The home had everything needed for a great time on the lake! Anderson, SC is close by and offers many options for eating out for dinner. We look forward to staying again! Troy and Renee went well above and beyond as hosts!

Waterfront charm

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cute waterfront home. Highly recommend renting the pontoon boat during your stay. We were on the lake all 3 days of our stay. We were able to make our lunch and enjoy it at one of the private island beaches located around the lake. The evenings were spent relaxing. We had dinner out one night and the town is a short distance away. There are also several marinas in the area that were fun to visit. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We'd stay here again.

This home is nicely appointed with everything needed to stay comfortably and to enjoy the beautiful lake. The home was exceptionally clean upon arrival. The beds are comfortable with ample linens for the bath. The kitchen has nothing missing as well. There’s a gas grill and a charcoal grill for your needs. It’s a short walk to the dock and beautiful views from the very quiet slough. The air conditioning worked perfectly for our stay. I would recommend this home for your stay, and I will return if the opportunity arises. The renter was very responsive prior to check in. There were no issues during our 4 day stay, so thankfully we did not find it necessary to have problems resolved. I give my recommendation that this is a GREAT property to stay in during a trip to Lake Hartwell.
