Family Gathering

This was our first getaway since Covid. The property definitely met our expectations. The children absolutely enjoyed their stay. There were plenty of games for all ages. Even though the temperature was on the cool side they bravely jumped into the lake for a quick swim. We would love to spend time in the summer there.

Amazing Property

The house was clean, well stocked with kitchen utensils. pots and pans, storage containers, etc. Complete with choices of spices too Plenty of dishwashing soap and towels. Wi-Fi was string enough for 2-3 of us to work when necessary. A/C worked well and kept the house cool. Family and friends enjoyed the dick and beach. Even the dog had a good time. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lake getaway. Grocery stores within a 20 minute ride. Screened in porch was wonderful, as was the golf cart for going back and forth to the dock/beach.

Perfect place for family reunion

Our whole family loved everything about this property. The owners are very thoughtful in supplying things like chairs on their dock, soap and shampoo in the bathrooms, a kitchen that has all the meal prep things you could need, games and toys for kids and much more. The layout of the house is great for a large family with multiple generations. We had an amazing time!

Wonderful home on a beautiful lake

Our large group of three generations had a great time in this wonderful lake home. The rooms are large, clean, and well appointed. The kitchen has everything we needed to fix meals for the group. The lakefront is really perfect with a great dock for the kids and dogs to jump in and swim all day and a sand beach for the adults to relax on. The screen porch was perfect for after-dinner s'mores fixed in the stone fireplace.

Family vacation

Great week with extended family. Sixteen from 72-6 years. Beds very comfortable. Two refrigerators was a big plus. Path to lake paved. A little steep in one part but not bad. Used golf cart to transport coolers. Beach was fun for games. Location on lake was great….enough traffic to give us waves as we bobbed…dock had an extra slip for a boat and we tied up our second boat to the side with no problem. Owners very quick to address questions/concerns. Only suggestion would be to have a third trash receptacle or biweekly pickup. We tried not using paper plates so we could leave room for next renters but with 16 people, it was a lot of trash, especially when cleaning out fridge. Was easy to recycle cans at fire station. It was a great week in a great home and great location.

Family Vacation

This is the third year we have stayed at this house. It is perfect for large groups. There is something for everyone. Plenty of toys for the younger kids. A nice beach area that's shaded in the afternoons. An awesome dock that's great for fishing and jumping off of. A golf cart to get down to the water and back up. This house has it all. Very satisfied with this property.

The Lake Week

This was our second stay at this amazing property. Owner is fantastic and very responsive. Can’t say enough about the house. Plenty of space we had 14 this trip from 12-70 years of age. Plenty of space for everyone. Multiple eating locations and the lake and the dock with your own beach is amazing. We will come back again no need to look for any place else to stay.

Fantastic vacation home!

The home worked perfectly for our large family. The ages ranged from my 85 year old father to my 1 year old great nephew. There was plenty of room for us all to be together, but also plenty of separate areas for the kids to play. The home was very well stocked with everything we needed, including toys and games. The kitchen was stocked better than any other home we've rented, which is many, 2-3 per year for over 20 years. There was a large selection of pots, pans, dishes and supplies, and were all great quality. The outdoor fireplace was definitely a hit with everyone. I would definitely book this home again., it would be a blast in the summer when we could swim. I would also like to thank Slicia for answering all my questions so promptly and making us feel so welcome.

A Great Stay at the BlueLakeHouse

Everything was great. It met all of the expectations of my family and we enjoyed our autumn family vacation immensely. The porch fireplace during the chilly weather was a great hit as well as the outdoor campfire area. The lake was beautiful and the entire inside of the house was wonderful. We even had a small family wedding there which was grand. The owner's were great people and cordial and my family and myself and my wife enjoyed the privacy. All in all, we would re-rent there again. We have several VRBO places my wife likes to call our home away from home and certainly this wonderful Lakehouse is now on the list. Thank you to the owners for allowing us to enjoy and appreciate this wonderful home & property. David DePaul

Amazing Lake House

We were able to have our family reunion at this beautiful lake home and property. The house is more than accommodating, and the dock and private beach are exceptional. We rented a boat for the week so we had a great time spending as much time on the lake as possible. The house is setup perfectly for all the different ages of our family members. Definitely recommend staying here for anyone who wants to have a home, property, and location to enjoy.

Beautiful Lake Home

Perfect spot on the lake to float and relax. Nice beach area near the dock that the doggos loved. Great screened in porch as well. Wish the temp. had been cooler to utilize the multiple fire places as these looked like a awesome way to spend a cold evening. Would recommend this property to any group.

Absolutely love this home.

This was our second stay at this wonderful lake home. The house is set up perfectly for different family units. We had couples as well as young families staying together under one roof. The kitchen is well stocked. The bedrooms and bathrooms are quite roomy. I love how the dock has three different ways to get in to the lake. It made it easy for the youngsters just learning to swim. The noodles, sand toys and kayaks were enjoyed by all. The private beach area was a huge hit. Alicia the owner is so easy to talk to. If you have any questions, she gets back to you quickly. I would recommend this property to any one wanting to enjoy a peaceful family and/or friend vacation on Lake Hartwell. Thank you Alicia!

We Love This House!

We’ve stayed at this home twice now with two different sides of our family and have extremely enjoyed both of our stays! The home is lovely, big enough for a large group, well equipped with the necessities, and very nicely decorated. The golf cart is a must, though the kids like to walk up and down to the lake. The beach area, kayaks, and water toys are perfect for littles and older children alike. Alicia was very responsive, though we did not encounter any problems. It just doesn’t get better than this house! We can’t wait to stay here again - we will be making it our annual tradition!!

Annual family vac

Just like to say that the pictures do not do justice to this great vac property, everyone in our group of 16 loved the place and especially the dock and beautiful view of the lake. Highly recommend renting a pontoon from C &E Marina they did a fabulous job also, and you cannot beat a sunset cruise and finding all the little beaches along the lake to park your pontoon and relax, Alicia was very responsive but we really didn’t need her for anything, overall a 10 out of 10 from us, thanks so much for a great place to have our family vac, Mark
