About this property

Our home is a very nice and cozy A-style log cabin on Lake Hartwell’s lakefront property, in Gumlog, GA.

The house is in an idyllic, and quiet setting on beautiful Lake Hartwell, on the Georgia side.
You will be in a pristine country setting, very close to the foothills (beginnings) of the Appalachian Mountains; yet do not have to give up on benefits of a modern home.

Our cabin is fully furnished and equipped with all amenities: Central air (HVAC); kitchen appliances, smart TVs, and wifi internet.
Floor plan is very open, with living area having an all-wood cathedral ceiling for a beautiful, classy look and feel.

One of them is kid friendly; with 1 bunk (i.e. 2 twin size) bed and another separate twin bed. (Sleeps 3)
The other downstairs bedroom has a luxury queen size bed.
A covered deck with a grill completes the cabin.

The property is off the main road in very quiet surroundings in over an acre of land.
A dock on the lake is part of the property and is ideal for launching kayaks and canoes off it.
The water level at the dock varies depending on the month of the year. When the lake is at full pool; most boats can also be moored at the dock.

(Boat Ramp is around the corner on the main road; 0.4 miles away.)

Peaceful and Relaxing with fun at your fingertips

My family had a blast! This home offered wonderful outdoor space with the large covered porch, floating dock, and wooded surroundings. The house was open and very family-friendly, with many little "extras"! My grandchildren had to be convinced to leave to do any exploring of the surrounding areas; they were perfectly content to spend the days running up and down the river bluff, playing on the float pad, fishing, and kayaking. Location is perfect if you are looking for a little solitude and the sounds of nature. Located at the back of a cove with little to no boat traffic; dock, float, and kayaks to enjoy the water so no boat required; few, yet friendly neighbors; many local eateries off the beaten path that were great; and within 30 minutes of many nature-made attractions. We will definitely be keeping this property in our "favorites". Thank you so much Edita for a wonderful 1st experience booking a vacation home.

The only reason I gave the grounds a 4 star and not 5 is because the lake is dried up and it is not the owners fault by any means. The owners are nothing but AMAZING! We were all super happy and impressed!

Romantic Getaway

The cabin is absolutely beautiful from the decor, the layout and placement within the woods me and my husband thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The cabin is the most well stocked weve ever had the pleasure of renting, from the spices, cook ware, and even condiments and sodas in frig it was a delight! The master bedroom loft was so cozy and the bed and pillows soft as a cloud. The property owner was so helpful and accomodating. We will definitely be returning annually for a relaxing and rejuvenating weekend.

Beautiful with a peaceful view

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The house is equipped with everything you may need while you are here. The house is clean and so cozy. The location is great, not too far from local shops, restaurants, state parks and other fun activities but far enough to still find yourself surrounded by peaceful beautiful nature. The host is super nice and responsive.

Perfect summer spot

We had a wonderful time at this lovely lake house. Everything was so convenient — the kitchen had just what we needed to prepare meals, the bedrooms were gorgeous and comfy, the lake was easy to access, all the toys for the kids was the cherry on top.

Family Vacation

Our family of five felt so at home in this cabin. The property owner has stocked the house very well. Location is very peaceful and quiet, neighbors were respectful and friendly. The dock was excellent for fishing, but if you are coming to swim, you will definitely want to go just around the corner to the boat ramp or beach area, because there is no ladder or swimming access from the dock or bank. Also, there is a very steep incline down at the dock, so just be aware for anyone with elderly family members or very small children. Other than that, the place is a gem! We will definitely be returning next year!

A lovely cabin, with a beautiful lake and dock. Enjoyed taking the kayaks out and enjoying the peaceful and beautiful lake. Cabin was well stocked and had everything you could possibly need. Had a great stay and wish it was a longer stay as it was even better than we were expecting.

Very nice!!

We stayed for the holidays. The cabin was super clean and had everything we needed. Exactly as described. Edita is extra nice host, she maintains very fluent communication and doesn't miss any detail. She even had toys for our kids, and made sure we had the right ones for their age. It was good to stay away from the city and enjoy the woods. The cabin had an outdoor firepit, we bought wood and made a fire a couple of nights. Kids loved the marshmallows. I recommend staying in this cabin. My family had a fantastic time!

Perfect little getaway cabin

Two families (4 adults, 4 kids) rented this cabin for a weekend getaway. It was beautifully furnished, clean, and well stocked! The beds were comfortable, too. There were even toys for the kids! Edita, the owner was very helpful and always responded promptly to communication. We went to the Clemson football game and the location was very convenient from campus but also allowed us to get away from crowded (and over-priced) hotels. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a perfect weekend getaway!

Exceeded our expectations

We loved our stay in this cabin. Upon arrival, we were really struck by how clean and welcoming the place was. We stayed 2 nights mid October - the waterfront level was low this time of year, to the point where it was dried up at the property. So if you plan to bring a boat (we hadn’t, but considered it) I would advise checking the water level before you arrive. But this was no issue for us at all, as the house met our needs in every way we had hoped! Our host was very accommodating and replied promptly to all of our inquiries. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend this spot to anyone traveling in the area!
