Great time
House was great. We had a lot of fun. I would rent this house again. Slightly disappointed that I was not able to put my boat in the slip/dock due to the dock not being pushed out. I even messaged the owner about the boat before I booked the trip.

Gorgeous setting
Quiet, peaceful, beautiful setting from just about every room in the house. Extremely well equipped, we lacked nothing. We loved the pool with a diving board. Pool furniture needs to be replaced. Only 2 back elements worked on the stove. Only half of the hot tub jets worked. Other than that, this place was spectacular and I would definitely return.

Heaven in Hartwell
This is a fabulous large home on the lake in Hartwell. There is plenty of room for multiple people to stay and also to spread out so you never feel crowded. The amenities are great and the hidden game room is a lot of fun! We came for our daughter’s college graduation from Clemson and while it is about an hour away from the school, that turned out to be nice because we were able to get away from all the crowds of people. The house is located on a quiet street and the supermarket, gas station, and other stores are only a 3-4 mile drive down the road. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing stay :)

Nice and relaxing
This home was perfect for relaxing, playing cards, eating on the covered patio, just hanging out and unwinding. All great things to do when it’s too chilly to be near the lake. We chose to visit the Hartwell Animal Safari as a local activity. Super fun thing to do and hilarious!

A great getaway!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at this beautiful home. This is our second year staying at this home and we had a wonderful time. The kitchen is nice and big and perfect for cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Plenty of table space for everyone to eat! We had teenagers ranging in age from 12-19 and they all had a great time sleeping upstairs in the bunk room and hanging out in the game room. They also enjoyed the hot tub! The adults enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake, eating yummy food and watching football. It was a wonderful vacation! Thank you!

This house had absolutely everything you’ll need for a family vacation! 4 adults and 2 older teenage boys, and plenty of room for everyone! We rented a boat for 3 days also. The game room and pool were definitely a hit! First time in Hartwell so we enjoyed the little downtown area. The owners were very responsive with any question we had. If we decide to come back to Hartwell, we’ll def be staying here again! An absolutely perfect place for a family vacation. Thank you for letting us enjoy your oasis on Lake Hartwell!

Beautiful home for our annual family vacation.
The house is exactly as described. It is a beautiful house. We kayaked and swam in the lake. We swam in the pool and soaked in the hot tub. We played ping pong in the game room. There are lots of board games and puzzles in the laundry room and lots of DVD movies on the shelf and in the drawers in the office room behind the kitchen. Everything is very nice. We picked up pizza one night from New York pizza in town. The Ingles grocery store is just up the road. We drove down and saw the dam that makes the lake. The Botanical Garden in town is beautiful and free to visit. If you like animals or have kids, visit the Lake Hartwell Wildlife Safari about ten miles north of town. It was fantastic and inexpensive, really a good time. We also drove about an hour away to Seneca to Oasis Ranch mini golf. In summary, you can really relax and enjoy the house, but there are also plenty of excursions you can do in the area. Five Stars!

Bella Vista Dreaming
We had a wonderful time at Bella Vista. My parents, my sister’s family as well as my family really enjoyed our time together at the house. They have everything you can think of at the house. Besides a game room with ping pong, foosball, and other games, they have all kinds of family games, board games, card games and puzzles. There were lots of books and tons of DVDs too. The kitchen is well stocked with all the pots and pans, appliances, and utensils one could need. There is even a well stocked spice drawer. We loved having 2 full size refrigerators, 3 mini fridges, and a full size freezer to feed our crowd. Even with a large family, the house was very roomy. We appreciate that there was plenty of space to enjoy a meal together or hang out as a family in the family room. The outdoor living area was nice and their was a really great outdoor kitchen. The large pool and hot tub were super clean and enjoyable. The kids really enjoyed using the diving board. The house has two kayaks, life jackets of all sizes, and a knee board. The house was spotless and spacious. We’d love to come again! It felt like we were staying in our own private resort. We highly recommend this house.

LOVED IT!
I'm a professor and I've learned that lists work for retention...so here is my list as to why this is a vacation home that you have to rent: 1. The view is spectacular 2. Huge saltwater pool 3. Every bed is comfortable! - No joke! 4. The town of Hartwell is very cute and has several excellent restaurants 5. There are only 5 homes on the street so it is SO quiet 6. You can walk to a beautiful park right down the street - we did that every morning at sunrise and loved it 7. The bathrooms and kitchen are all top-notch 8. I didn't want to leave the master suite - I got my own closet:) 9. The home has its own boat slip - we rented a boat and loved Lake Hartwell 10. The kids' "playroom" with ping pong etc. is incredible for kids Bonus - I actually relaxed for a full week - too bad that doesn't happen everywhere:-) Thanks for making a paradise for visitors!

A wonderful week at the lake!
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home! It was so perfect for our family of eleven. We had 5 adults and 6 teens and pre teens with us. The teens and pre teens love the game room. It has everything they need for a fun week. The backyard outside area of the home is so perfect. We enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner on the porch while the kids played in the pool and hot tub. We grilled out many meals and had fun at the table playing cards and being together. We brought a boat and enjoyed boat rides to watch the sunset. It was a beautiful and perfect stay at the lake. We also enjoyed the pool! There is a diving board and the kids perfected their jumps and flips! The kids also enjoyed having their own bedroom upstairs. It is truly a perfect set up for a family with many teens/kids. Lots of refrigerator space too. Such a lovely, beautiful home! This was our second stay and it was better than the first time! We can’t wait to go back again!
