Family in town.
The property was nice, but disappointed with the cleanliness and the items that were broke or didn't work in the house. Downstairs toilet was broke, screen door on back qas broke and set up against the house, no comforter on middle bedroom. Also found a kids dirty sock in and candy wrappers in one bedroom. Also shower curtain had mildew on init in the master bedroom.

Remote cabin
The kitchen was large and well equipped for preparing meals for a large group. Also the two dining area being together was perfect for my family. Bedrooms were nice. Access to the property was challenging since the first quarter mile was down a single lane dirt road and crossing a creek to get to the neighborhood. Also the trail down to the dock was steep and rocky.

Beautiful Cabin
The cabin is beautiful and has large comfortable rooms. Great for 8 adults. It was very convenient to have a dock for our boat, although know that if the lake was low, you would not be able to get there. The driveway is steep, but who cares because we only parked there. The terrain up from the boat dock is not for the elderly nor weak, but we would certainly rent again!!

The property was great even though the driveway was steep as noted by the manager. The information provided about the property was accurate. No problem with contacting the manager. I really enjoyed the stay.

Weekend Getaway
We were quite comfortable with 6 adults and four children in this lovely, nicely furnished 4 bedroom cabin. We rented a pontoon boat at nearby Harbor Light Marina and parked it at the dock which is shown in the photos. The walk down is a fairly rugged trail and a good pair of shoes are recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had a great time on the water.

Nice House But…
We hosted a family reunion and the size and the layout of the house was ideal. If you are booking this for a place with good lake access be aware that this is at the very end of a lake inlet, one house from a creek head, very shallow, hard to get a boat to, and you would not want to swim off the dock.

Great Stay on the Lake
We very much enjoyed our stay at the cabin on Lake Hartwell. The furnishings were very comfortable and homey, and we thought everything was great inside and outside of the cabin. We very much enjoyed being outside on the porches and the use of the grill in the evening to prepare our dinner. I did not take the opportunity to walk down to the dock on the lake but I could see it and I’m sure it would be wonderful down on the water. Overall our stay was great we highly recommend this location is very relaxing and quiet and a great place to spend the weekend or week!
