About this property

Greens Cay on Lake Hartwell is pet-friendly and a water-lover's dream; it sleeps 12 in four bedrooms and two living areas and offers an amazing view, covered deck, grill, yard, deep-water dock with slip and swing, beach, and plenty of peace and quiet.

Sitting directly on the shores of Lake Hartwell, Greens Cay is a completely remodeled and updated 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom ranch home with finished basement. Inside on the main floor, there are two living areas each with smart TV and a sleeper sofa. A full kitchen, washer and dryer, ½ bath, and even a warm-water dog rinse and fireplace round out the inside amenities. Also on the main floor are two bedrooms, each with queen beds, smart TVs, and a full bathroom between them.

Outside the main level is an oversized, half-covered deck that features a table and chairs for dining al fresco, a large propane grill, a super comfortable sectional couch with ottoman, and the most stunning lake view on Hartwell.

Our lower level can only be accessed from the outside and features two sleeping areas: one with a queen bed and the other with twin beds plus a full sized bathroom. Note that you must cross through the queen bed area to access the bathroom.

The deck has steps to the ground and the lower level opens to a patio and then to the backyard which slopes gently to the water. A paved, lighted walkway with railing takes you to a beach area (great for beach fires at night), single-slip dock (guest boats or rental boats welcome), a swing, and lounge chairs. We’re in a great deep-water location so the fishing is excellent, and you’ll have fun on the water with our paddleboard and kayak.

For off the water fun, we have a cornhole set and bikes for guests to enjoy.

Located about 90 minutes north of Atlanta, 60 minutes from the University of Georgia, and 45 minutes from Clemson University, Greens Cay on Lake Hartwell is the ideal location to host your next getaway.

Primary renter must be at least 25 years old, and up to 3 pets are welcome for a nominal fee. Book today with just $250 deposit.

Great House in Great Location

The house is roomy and well appointed. Felt like we were staying at home. The kids and the dogs really enjoyed the beach area. The kayak and paddle board were a hit. 10/10. Would recommend!

Lake Hartwell long weekend.

Purpose to attend football game @Clemson. Rented boat and enjoyed some lake time. The house was very clean and had a very nice dock to use. Just to clarify for future renters. There is one full bathroom in the house and a 1/2 bath. There is another area you access from back of house with 3 beds and a small older bathroom. For teen boys this would be a good hang out for them. Had a great time!

Perfect Family Getaway

This property was the perfect Fall getaway for my family! We enjoyed the spacious living areas and oversized covered porch. With the grill on the deck and a kitchen that was stocked with utensils for our cooking needs--we never left the property all weekend. The swing on the dock is a nice area to relax. The kids enjoyed the provided paddle board and we loved having our own sandy beach area. The property was only minutes from Harbor Light Marina, so it was simple to drive over by boat. Overall, a wonderful, relaxing weekend and perfect family getaway!

Great house!

This home is clean and well kept and supplied. The neighborhood is quiet and private yet very comfortable knowing nice homes and neighbors are nearby. It was too cold to enjoy the lake and toys but I’m sure would be a blast in the summer months. Gorgeous view too!

Quick Getaway for our Anniversary

We only live about an hour and a half from this property… but it was like we were miles and miles away.. We picked up groceries on our way up and never had to leave the whole weekend! Everything you need to cook or grill is in that kitchen! Big smart tv’s in every bedroom and living room. Convenient walk in shower, and zero entry into main level with the kitchen, 2 living areas and 2 bedrooms, perfect for our handicapped teen! It was nice to have a dock we could use when my nephew came to visit with his boat. Planning on coming back for sure!

Amazing family vacation!

We decided to take a family vacation and happened upon this property when we googled lake houses. Since there were 12 of us, we chose this one. We could not have been more satisfied with the house itself and the location. We were able to bring the boat and two kayaks, but there were also two other kayaks and a paddle board! The beach area was great, the dock was awesome and our family enjoyed a full week of fun. The downstairs area with the separate rooms/bathroom was perfect to split up the sleeping arrangements (we had 4 “families” between us). With two rooms and pullout couches upstairs, it worked out so well and we all had plenty of room to relax after long lake days. I would definitely recommend this property (and the owner’s other property close by) because they certainly delivered on an unforgettable vacation for our large family! We will be back!!!

Hidden little treasure!

We booked for two weeks. Don't let the size of the front of the house fool you! Once you walk into this home the amazing views of the lake from all the main areas of the home will blow you away! The beach area, dock, lake and covered back porch is where we spent 90% of our time. We enjoyed evening fires on the beach for making smores with the little ones and hanging out. The covered deck offered a nice outdoor comfortable alternative for those that just want to relax and read while still enjoying the amazing views of the lake and family activities on the beach, lake and dock. The home has a lot of living space and is tastefully decorated with plenty of quality linen, comfortable beds, stylish comfortable furniture, a fully stocked kitchen, and high-end appliances. It was pet friendly for my uncle and his Westie companion that traveled from Pennsylvania to spend time with us. Check in was a breeze and the hosts are very responsive to any questions you may have. The dock accommodated our 22ft Bowrider very easily. Definitely as great place to stay!

Perfect lake getaway!

We were so pleased with everything about this house! With the view from the deck, the house itself was barely needed but to sleep! A perfect house for a lake getaway. Swimming and kayaking from the dock --even if it was a little chilly in early April -- was perfect! Wonderful hosts who were beyond helpful during the check in process.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Garland

Our tightknit family of 6 (+1 furry family member) lives in NE Atlanta and includes kids that range from high school to post-college plus two fun-loving parents who believe life by the water makes life in general better.

Why they chose this property

We love our home on Hartwell and had the chance to buy this one just two doors down. We spent a year remodeling and upgrading it ourselves and now believe it to be one of the best options on the lake.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy the stunning view and long line of waterfront from our array of windows or from the uncovered deck or covered section. A sizeable beach area plus a single slip dock on deep water allows you to enjoy the best of the lake plus we offer cornhole, a firepit and bikes for land-based fun.
