Lake Front Home. 3 Large Living Spaces. Screened Porches. Pet Friendly.
Our home is a beautiful water front home with 5 large bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths. We also have 3 spacious living areas that allow every member of the group ample room to relax and enjoy the serenity of the lake.

The screened porches are a welcoming area to enjoy your morning coffee or your evening drinks and appetizers before dinner is served from the grill. We are located in a quiet neighborhood with deep water only minutes from Tugaloo State Park and Harbor Light Marina. So bring your boat or PWC, tie up at the dock and enjoy exploring the lake by water. (Boat slip is not available.)

Thanksgiving fun.
We had a wonderful time. The kitchen was very well equipped for a Thanksgiving feast for all of us. Lots of room for everyone to sleep. We really enjoyed the grill cooked great steaks and chicken. The water at the dock was deep enough for us to utilize our pontoon bc and bass boat. Will stay again soon hopefully on the summer so we can really get good use of the beautiful screened in decks.

Owner is wonderful to work with; very accommodating, prompt, friendly and understanding. This house is very roomy; the bedrooms and living areas are very large and allow for personal space. The dock is great- has both shade and sun and walk down stairs which make it much easier on everyone getting in and out of the lake. The dock is on deep, clean water in a gentle cove with less boat traffic, but close to many ramps and a marina. We rented from S&J (who are awesome)! The famous Dixie visited with us nearly everyday and became good buddies with our dogs and kiddos. Location is convenient to 85 and downtown Lavonia for shopping. The Hartwell Safari is only 30 mins and Big Water is 40 by car. We had a wonderful time and plan to return in the future!

Great Lake House on Lake Hartwell
I’m a high school bass fishing coach, and we booked this place for our team. All and all there were 16 of us and it didn’t feel cramped at all. Very clean very spacious. Julie was great to work with, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying on Lake Hartwell. I will definitely rent here again.

Great place!!!
We had a great stay with family for a week at the lakehouse! Everything was great and the house lives bigger than it appears in the pictures. Plenty of space for our group of 9 to be together, yet plenty of separate den or sitting/tv watching areas apart from the main den area. Communication was great, the house had all that we needed for our stay, I would highly recommend this for a family trip!

Celebrating Birthdays was amazing!
We rented the house to celebrate 3 birthdays in our family. It was amazing. The house was beautiful with plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some! The screened in porches were great for late night conversations and games.
We really loved the dock and the stairs. We have stayed at many vrbo properties before and the stairs from the dock to the water were a real plus!! For our dogs and older family, the stairs made the water accessible and fun. We rented a boat from Harbor Light Marina and would highly recommend them.
We truly enjoyed our stay and Julie answered all of our questions and concerns quickly and appropriately. She made the stay relaxing and stress free. Thanks Julie for everything!!

Wonderful House—Great for Families!
Spacious, well laid out home—perfect for our large family! Three levels all with their own living area plus a great screen in porch allowed everyone to have plenty of space. Property manager (Julie) was also wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. Quiet cove on Lake Hartwell was perfect for swimming off the dock. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful home with lots of space!
We chose this house because we wanted lots of room and it did not disappoint! All 3 levels had living space in addition to the bedrooms. We did see a few places that hadn’t been cleaned well (cobwebs in the light fixtures & some dead bugs in the kitchen drawers), but the bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean. We had a problem with the remote-controlled ceiling fans not working, and had to replace all the batteries in the remotes. The only real downside we found to this house was that none of us found the beds comfortable. A few members of our group slept on the sofas. But overall this was a great place. We will stay there again if more comfortable mattresses are put in.

Family reunion on Lake Hartwell
This lovely, very spacious home was perfect for our family get-together. The rooms are very large so we could gather in 1 place comfortably and there was also space for privacy when needed. Beds were comfortable. We loved the dock-- sitting, swimming and fishing, and we rented a pontoon boat nearby which we tied up for a short time. The kitchen is well stocked for a large group. Never had any problems. Julie was very helpful beforehand with any info we needed. Highly recommend. We hope to come back again someday.

Autumn Visit
I can't speak to the summer amenities offered at this lovely property but our Thanksgiving visit was a big success. Our family party of seven (plus dogs) were able to whip up Thanksgiving diner for twelve in the well-equipped kitchen. There were bedrooms and bathrooms aplenty, plenty of TVs and games, a fireplace and everything else we could have wanted. Everything was fresh and clean and the owner's representative coldn't have been nicer.

Everyone in our group(ages arranged from 1-70) had a great time here! The home was just what we needed and had lots of room for everyone to spread out. Julie, the property manager was amazing and very attentive with the couple issues we had(nothing serious). Everyone LOVED Dixie and she was a friendly face to be greeted with! Neighbors were very friendly and the neighborhood was quiet. Just wish there was space for a firepit! Thanks again, Julie! We came home rested and we’ve already started planning our next trip!

Relaxation & recreation
Our multigenerational family had a great time at the gumlog house. There was plenty of space for 8 adults and 2 children in the huge three level house. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped and both screened porches provided a restful place to relax. We had one rainy day and the kids enjoyed playing on the huge downstairs porch. The dock had Adirondack chairs and ample space to dock our boat. The old folks and kids particularly enjoyed the step entry into the water rather than a ladder. One word of advice: if there are mobility issues in your group, talk to Julie. The path is a relatively steep incline and there are multiple stairsteps to the dock. Julie, the property manager, was a dream to work with and was easy to contact. Tugaloo State park was only 10 min away, was not crowded and had a nice sandy beach and shallow swim area that the kids enjoyed. This was our first time at Hartwell and we’ll definitely be back!
