The property was wonderful. We had an amazing stay for 10 days.

The home was great. We brought our boat and the covered slip was such a plus. Boat ramp was very convenient and only about a mile away. Hopefully we are going to go again next year!! Good grocery in Hartwell

Lake weekend

This was the perfect place for a weekend getaway with our son and his friend, and our dog. The house was clean and stocked with all the essentials. The owners are so friendly and responsive. The covered dock is perfect for a day on the lake, and if you are a sunrise person be sure to get your coffee and walk down to watch it…perfect location for sunrise over the water.
