About this property

YoBergerVilla - Large Lake House

YoBergerVilla sits in a cul-de-sac of a small private street on Lake Hartwell. The dock looks across at undeveloped land that is part of the Clemson Experimental Forest. YoBergerVilla is nestled in a secluded branch of Lake Hartwell with quick access to the larger lake.

Enjoy the relaxing life of living in this 5-bedroom lake home. The main floor circles around a gas fireplace with 2 wings on either side that lead to the bedrooms. All bedrooms and the living room face the lake. The main living area opens onto an expansive deck area.

THE UPPER (MAIN) LEVEL has 3 very large bedrooms: Master Bedroom (1) -- King bed and couch; Bedroom (2) -- King bed; Bedroom (3) -- 2 Queen beds; The large master bath has a walk-in (small lip) tile shower; the 2nd full bathroom (tub/shower) is in the hallway with Bedrooms (2) and (3).

THE LOWER LEVEL (has a door that leads to the downstairs patio and easy access to the Circle Of Swings) has 2 bedrooms: Bedroom (4) -- 1 Daybed with trundle that pops up to create a king-size bed and 1 Queen bed; Bedroom (5) -- What was fomerly bedroom #5 has been converted into a Downstairs Gathering Space. We connected a closet, a hallway and the bedroom to create this area. While not technically a bedroom, it does have 1 Bunkbed (Twin top, Full bottom). The Downstairs Gathering Space has plenty of sitting area. Your children and/or teens (or the child in you!) will enjoy relaxing here with TV and video games. Quiplash anyone? (There is a game closet upstairs and we continue to add to it.)

In addition to the bedroom and Downstairs Gathering Space, the lower level has a full bathroom (shower). This bathroom also serves as a "mudroom" that is accessible from a back door that you can use coming up from the lake.

The upstairs Living room is in the shape of an L. The smaller side of the L allows for intimate conversations and/or a more secluded area for work or internet use. The other side of the L has a group seating arrangement facing the stone gas fireplace and allows for a group of people to comfortably relax and enjoy conversation, playing a game or watching TV.

The Living Room boasts a large rock fireplace with a 55" Roku TV. You can use the login already set up for you, or use your own log-in. We provide a YoBergerVilla YouTubeTV (not even remotely similar to YouTube!) account – which gives cable-like channels. Roku has many apps for you to log into your own accounts with (ie Prime, Netflix, Hulu, etc).

No need to see that pile of laundry that you want to get away from. A washer and dryer are available in their own little nook (with doors that close). Laundry detergent is pre-loaded in the washing machine.

The kitchen is fully equipped (including a sous vide!) with enough dishes for the whole group. There are a lot spices and non-perishables available. The NEW convection oven with a built-in Air Fryer setting make cooking a breeze.

Linens and towels are, of course, provided - though we do ask you to bring your own beach towels.

Just outside the NEW living room door is an expansive porch that can easily fit your whole group with seating for 16. It is also a great place to relax and just enjoy all that…quiet 😊. Remote working or schooling is peaceful out on the deck.

The lower level opens up to a walk-out covered patio that leads to the NEW 6 sided porch swing firepit. Whether in the light of day or the coziness of night, this is truly a great place to simply be. Whether it is meditating and enjoy alone-time or laughing with friends, there is something about porch swings that is comfortable. Adding the firepit makes the whole scene inviting..

Whether you are there for 2 days or for 10, there is no doubt that you will find yourself remembering your time at YoBergerVilla.

Family Reunion

We had a family reunion at this house and had a great time. The lake access was great with several kayaks available for use. The firepit was a really nice area (we did s'mores one night) and the house had all we needed for beds and bedrooms. The coffee/tea center with the Keurig was especially nice.

Great family getaway

Great place! Plenty of room, clean, very well stocked. Huge deck with plenty of seating. Nice fire pit with swings. We had 4 adult couples, one adult single, and 5 young kids. Every family had their own space for sleeping. Nice kitchen with large dining table. Nice covered floating dock with swimming ladder, chairs, and kayaks/paddles/jackets. We would stay there again.

Great Stay

We had a wonderful time at the Lake House. The house was extremely clean and very well stocked. We enjoyed the lake and kayaks. The owners were accessible and easy to communicate with. Our only regret was that it was such a short visit. We’ll certainly will make it longer when we hopefully are able to return next fall.

We loved it 🥰

My family and I spent Christmas at Yobergervilla this year. The house was everything they described. It was spacious and accommodating for our group size (15). The property the house is on is beautiful. The home was fully decorated for Christmas which was a plus. The lake is breathtaking in the morning time 😍

Perfect Lakeside Getaway for a Memorable Birthday Weekend!

We stayed at YoBergerVilla for my wife's birthday weekend with a group of friends, and it was an unforgettable experience! The lake house was incredibly spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, offering stunning views of the lake. The amenities were top-notch, from the fully equipped kitchen to the cozy living spaces and comfortable bedrooms. We especially loved spending time on the deck, enjoying the serene atmosphere and breathtaking sunsets over the water. The property was well-maintained, and the hosts were responsive and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. It was the ideal spot to relax, celebrate, and make memories. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat!

Great weekend with the family!

We came down for a long weekend to catch a Clemson game and visit with a family member that attends Clemson. The house was centrally located within a short drive to campus. There was more than enough space for all of us showering and the three full bathrooms were a god send with everyone getting ready before the game. The beds were really comfortable. The owners were prompt and provided all the necessary information for renters. I even texted them during the day with a question and the answered quickly. I highly recommend staying at this property! My only regret was choosing November so the lake was too cold to take a swim!

Perfect Family Retreat

We enjoyed a short vacation get-away with our family in your lovely lake rental. We have stayed in many rental properties, and your attention to detail was noted. The house was clean and accommodating. The beds were so comfortable! We had so much fun swimming, kayaking and fishing together. Thank you for being such great hosts.

Perfect getaway with great beds!

Excellent property with great beds. Plenty of sleeping room for a larger family. Slope to lake is slightly steep but made safe and navigable with pathway and handrails. Sister was on crutches and made it up and down (slowly) with no issues. Excellent dock and proximity to main channel to get to places easily. Very comfortable with amazing host.

About the host

Hosted by Randy & Cathy Berger

Host profile image
We are Randy and Cathy Berger. Randy is an engineer and Cathy is a math teacher. We are both northern transplants, having grown up in NY and NJ originally. We met and married in Charlottesville, VA. We raised our children first in Charlottesville and then in Cary, NC where we currently reside. Our five children are grown - and they even took the dog!
We've managed properties for many years but this is our first (and only) vacation rental home. We love having a hospitality business and are responsive to communications. We come to YoBergerVilla about once a month to check on the house and property. We enjoy fixing what needs to be fixed as well as adding to and updating the property

We are continually working on the impressively big and impressively vine-filled yard. We have thoughts and dreams for these spaces, but they are coming slowly.

We desire for YoBergerVilla to be a place where memories are created and comfort is found. Our goals are for our guests to feel at home.

Why they chose this property

YoBergerVilla is more than a summertime LakeHouse. It is an all-year retreat to relax. Aside from the obvious summertime activities, fishing is available at Lake Hartwell year-round. Do an internet search for "Lake Hartwell Key Areas Fishing" and see a plethora of information!
We are in the process of creating a notebook with Homeschooling activities. YoBergerVilla is the idea place to bring your students to gather together to learn and have fun!

What makes this property unique

Anderson South Carolina has average temperatures that are warm enough to enjoy the outdoors year round. With average daytime highs never going below 50 degrees, and average nighttime lows going below 30 degrees, YoBergerVilla is an ideal place to visit all year long
