We enjoyed the house, it was clean and well stocked and comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the patio as the weather was perfect. The town of Hartwell is nice too. The only negative was the that the lake level is very low and there is not the water views shown in the pictures for the rental and the grounds needed some clean up. Being from Indiana we did not know about the low lake level, it would have been nice to have know that. We would recommend the rental to others. We appreciated the washer and dryer, nice dishes and silverware. The grill worked great too. There were four adults in our family.

Overall, it was wonderful. The AC was on when we arrived and the house was cold. Check-in is at 4 pm, so the temperature was dropping and it took a while to figure out the thermostat. Of course, after we found the notebook, the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. We warmed the house and everything went smoothly!

Too many spyder webs on the windows. Nice ample living room, clean kitchen, and quiet serene property. The biggest complain is the beds. Most of them are too saggy. My wife happens to get the smallest room with double bed, could not sleep on it and ended up sleeping on the couch. I had to sleep on the fllor with my air pad that i carry fir camping trips. With good mattresses I could give 4 stars.

We loved this lake house! We were in town for a LSU/Clemson game and it was close enough to the stadium and right on the water. We had lots of room and everything we needed. The firewood was plentiful and the younger adults enjoyed the peddle boat and the kayaks. We would definitely come back!

Great house to relax in!

We love Lake Hartwell and enjoyed our 3rd trip to the lake. This home is perfect for our family of 8 including a 14 month old & 2 dogs. We had plenty of space to sleep, play games and eat! This kitchen is one of the most well stocked kitchens we’ve seen. We enjoyed the kayak and paddle boat. The location is in a cove and we seemed to have the whole cove to ourselves most of the week. Great property!
