Make memories at the lake!

Memories are made at Lake Hartwell. Come enjoy our home on a quiet cove in the Gumlog community just 10 minutes off of I-85 @ exit 173 in GA. Our fully furnished 3 BR/2 bath home sleeps 8 and boasts a large deck spanning the entire length of the home, looking out onto the lake. There is ample space for grilling on the gas grill, relaxing, and enjoying family and friends. There is a gentle sloping yard for outdoor games with a long meandering footpath that slopes down to the covered dock, leading to hours of lake activities. The driveway provides plenty of parking.

Our dock will accommodate your boat and the Franklin County Boat ramp is just 1 mile away.
Harbor Light Marina is just a 7 mile drive away where boat rental is available. Close by are the quaint towns of historic Lavonia and Hartwell where you will find a variety of shops and restaurants.

Other nearby activities include Tugaloo State Park, just a 9 min drive or a short paddle across the cove. Lake Hartwell State Park is just across the SC state line and a 17 min ride.

Tallulah Falls and North GA hiking trails are within a 1 hour drive of our home.

We are just about 30 minutes from shopping at Tangier Outlet Mall(south) or Anderson, SC(north), and 1 hour from the up and coming town of Greenville where there are many great restaurants and shops.

But best of all, if you are coming to the area for a Clemson football game, graduation, or parent’s weekend, this would be a great place to put your feet up. We have a large TV in the main room with access to our YouTube TV streaming service, as well as the TV in the master, for watching the games. It is a 34 mile/42 minute drive to Clemson if you are headed to the Campus.

This is a pet free/smoke free home and we ask that there be no large parties.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The house was very comfortable, clean and well-equiped with cooking utensils, etc. The walk to the lake was a bit of a trek for an 80 year old with a bad leg, but not bad. The walkway was clean and make the slope manageable. The dock was very nice! Loved the swing and seating on the dock. Would definitely rent again.

Lovely, comfortable, and very clean home with a well-stocked kitchen. A great spot for some much-needed R&R. The swing on the dock was my favorite place to relax at sunset. The fishing off the dock was just okay, but we didn’t come for that — we came to disconnect, and this place was perfect for it. Thank you Marty, David & Ted.

Fishing

I selected this property after discovering it on a previous trip in the same area. The primary purpose was for me and my brothers to relax and do some fishing. The property and location was perfect and met our goals for the trip. Just a couple of observations...lighting was dim above the kitchen table and in the kitchen...bulb replacements needed along with cleaning the fixture above the table. A coffee pot and coffee was available, however, no filters for the coffee maker were found...not an issue...paper towel worked fine, however a Keurig would be optimal as we had brought our own coffee pods. Would definitely stay again.
