You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Bark Bungalow of North East Georgia


Super dog-friendly cabin on a private, wooded 4 acres—you can’t see the neighbors. Minutes to the Lake Russell boat ramp, 18 min to downtown Hartwell, close to shopping and dining. Plenty of parking for your boat & trailer. Perfect for lake days, fishing trips, and tournament teams.
The space

Set atop a granite hill, this comfortable 2BR / 2BA cabin blends privacy and convenience. Spread out in the cozy living room, cook in the well-equipped kitchen, and unwind by the indoor wood-burning fireplace. Sip coffee on the front porch, grill on the back deck, and let the dogs zoom around the yard.

2 bedrooms • 2 full baths

Central A/C + ceiling fans in each bedroom

Fast Wi-Fi & strong cell service (WFH-friendly)

Flatscreen with streaming (log into your apps)

Washer/dryer (basement)

Super dog-friendly

Traveling with pups is easy here. You’ll have room to roam, easy outdoor access, and no close neighbors. We provide dog towels, waste bags, and basic cleanup supplies. Nearby trails and lake access make it simple to get those wiggles out after a long drive.

Bringing more than two dogs or a large breed pack? Just message us—we’re happy to accommodate when we can.

I'm not sure anyone has ever rented this place before. The location was great. And it was very private. If it is going to be rented there needs to be a few things done. There is a very nice deck out back but there was one lounge type chair and a very small table and two chairs. They need to put more chairs out there! And the front porch was really awesome but here again, the furniture out there was sparse! Folding metal chairs to sit on which are very uncomfortable. And the strangest VERY low tables. If they had a few rocking chairs out there it would be wonderful! Like I said, I think it's the first time this was ever rented. There are very few pots and pans in the kitchen. There were very few linens. If they really want to spiff this place up, try painting the walls white! It's pretty dark inside. It was pretty clean, but the linen closet in the hall bath felt a little dirty. I really don't mean to criticize too much, but it could be a really wonderful place with a little work! If fixed up, I wouldn't mind renting it again. There could stand to be some more furniture in the living room also. but one thing that needs to be done for sure is that the mattress in the back bedroom with the bath needs to be replaced! It seems really old! Sorry for the critique but I wanted to be honest. If you really want to make money on this house, you just need to do a few things to make it a little more cozy. We were very thankful that it was available for us.

Life Safer

Unlike travelers, I am from Elbert County. Our home had to be remodeled due to a water leak. This house is close to everything Elbert County has to offer. Alex, made my life so much easier...he was able to extend our stay for 3 extra days. Wonderful experience in a stressful time.

Everything as described, great support/communication from owner

Property is as described. We had a late cancellation due to weather and Alex(owner) supported us by changing the reservation last minute. I understand that this isn't always possible but it provides a LOT of confidence in booking knowing the owner is willing to help in any way he can. Much appreciated and will stay here again
