About this property

Lakefront Cabin Retreat. Private Setting. Sleeps 20. Boat Rental

Diamond Pointe is a private home that offers an unrivaled lake experience for family and friend gatherings. *** please note 20 guests is the limit at all times. Limited availability to guests at only 70 nights of rentals/year, then the calendar is closed. This waterfront retreat features an extremely private setting with over 1100 feet of lake frontage and no other docks in sight. Guests can spread out among 7 bedroom spaces in addition to a loft, all of which will sleep 20 total people. Guests will also have access to 6 full bathrooms and 2 full kitchens. A towering stone fireplace serves as a focal point for the main living area which is an architectural highlight. The cabin feel and handcrafted wooden features take you into the mountains while remaining lakeside. The main living area also features extensive windows and natural lighting that brings the environment into the space. The large exterior deck provides wonderful lake views from the various seating areas or from the second level hot tub. The lower level includes an expansive den with space to accommodate family and friends with additional outside seating areas. There is also a billiards space, and a poker table area for various recreation preferences. The property features a circular driveway with space to park numerous vehicles including a full size Pickleball court.

There is a short walk with a slight grade to the private dock where you can park your own private watercraft or rent one from the house (if available) for an additional fee. The owner’s boat may be at the dock, but there is space on the other side for a rental or personal watercraft. The landing to launch a boat is right around the corner, less than 1/2 mile. Deep water and a perfectly situated property for sunrise views make this retreat among the most desirable on the lake. The property includes a kayak launch with 5 kayaks provided (3 adult, 2 child) in conjunction with the rental. Paddleboards are also available for an additional fee. In addition to being a secluded venue to enjoy the lake with your family and friends, the property is located within a protected shoreline area as defined by the Army Corps of Engineers including its designation as a bird sanctuary. As such, experienced birdwatchers as well as those that just enjoy the sounds of nature will find the area quite pleasant and natural. Local fishing charters are available. Not only is fishing and recreation on Lake Hartwell unmatched during the summer, the lake is also ranked as one of the top winter fishing destinations in the country (https://fishingbooker.com/blog/winter-fishing-destinations/). Guests travel only 23 miles to and from Clemson Football games and graduations while avoiding the main thoroughfares. This amazing home is easily accessible from I85 (Exit 4).

***Please note that pets are strictly NOT permitted at this facility.

WiFi available is via fiber optic cable. The signal is strong and reliable.

Diamond Pointe is privately owned and managed. We (owners/property managers) may be residing in a separate guest house on the grounds for at least a portion of your visit. The guest house is not connected to the main house in which you will be residing. We can be available to address questions or assist, but will leave you to enjoy your stay at Diamond Pointe otherwise. We look forward to providing an exceptional getaway for your group.

Annual Family Gathering

Diamond Pointe is a spectacular rental home which accomodates 20. It is a spacious gathering place which provided ample indoor and outdoor entertainment for our family reunion of 3 generations. The owner was responsive to handle a minor repair, and didn’t charge our group for a broken kayak paddle. I highly recommend this rental property.

Perfect place for our family

This beautiful home was exactly what we were looking for on Lake Hartwell. Our large, extended family all gathered to attend our niece's wedding (on the GA side of the lake just 30 minutes away). 16 adults & 2 little ones spanning 4 generations! The home is easy to get to from GSP and has everything one would need for a fabulous family event. Pickleball and the firepit were the biggest entertainment hits! The kitchen is very well equipped and all of the beds were comfortable. We bothered Shawn with at least a dozen questions before our arrival and she was always quick to respond. Thank you for having us!!

Fabulous Home on the Lake

This home was very well cared for, so clean, and cheerily decorated for the Fall season. Everything was ready for us to move in. The common spaces were very spacious. The area was very quiet and we saw lots of meteor showers at night.

Golf and football getaway

Absolutely amazing property with breathtaking sunrises over the lake. Great layout that allows for a large group to comfortably gather in the “public” areas and privacy and quiet for those individuals who may want to step away for a bit of solitude. The hosts were great and balanced perfectly the availability of being nearby with not hovering . Property very accurately described in listing.Highly recommend

Little Slice of Heaven

What a wonderful home and welcoming hosts and being able to rent the pontoon was an added plus. We loved the calm water where the dock is located, as floating in late afternoon is a joy. Also, the home is wonderfully appointed with many nice seating areas, inside and out. Our family does a lake vacation every year and this is the only review I've ever written, but it deserves highest marks in all categories and a rave review!

Great family vacation

I have mixed emotions writing reviews for great properties since I fear they will be unavailable for return trips. But this home and these hosts deserve the praise. Great house for our three generation annual vacation. Plenty of room for us to spread out. Great uncrowned cove for swimming. We have been taking our family vacations for over 10 years and rarely return but hope to return to this property.

The house was perfect for our reunion weekend with old college friends. Easy drive to Clemson. The property has everything one could need - well appointed kitchen, amazing great room with plenty of seating, great views from the deck, video game, pool table and more. Shawn was super responsive and helpful with our questions and even managed to locate a pair of eyeglasses that one of our party left behind. We would certainly stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Shawn Fleming

Host profile image
My husband and I grew up in the beautiful state of South Carolina. We love getting to host our family (and extended family) gatherings here at Diamond Pointe. We have 4 married children (so we are now blessed with 8 wonderful adult children). We also have 9 grandchildren and counting. Being able to provide a home for large families to gather is very important to us.

Why they chose this property

Fair Play is quiet and friendly. We love our neighborhood and community. Our neighbors are absolutely the best. We are a tight knit community and look out for each other.

What makes this property unique

Diamond Pointe was originally planned (by the previous owners) to be a gathering place for events with friends and family. We love the space Diamond Pointe provides for connecting with family/friends while also having space to spread out for small group interactions. The setting is so private and peaceful. Big water views while having the convenience of a quiet cove. "There are more peaceful places, but not on this side of Heaven" - quoted from one of our first guests. We love living here and we love for others to enjoy and appreciate Diamond Pointe like we do.
