Worthwhile

Our stay at this South Carolina VRBO property was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the attention to detail and the comfort provided in every aspect of our accommodation. First and foremost, the kitchen was an absolute dream. Not only was it incredibly well-equipped with everything we could possibly need, but the tasteful renovations added a touch of luxury to our cooking experience. The meal preparation a breeze. The living spaces were equally impressive, with comfortable furniture that made relaxation effortless. The beds were so cozy that we found ourselves sleeping in longer than planned, fully recharging for each day's adventures. We were provided ideas for day trips and really enjoyed museums in Anderson and Greenville. Clemson provided excellent baseball One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the view and the lake dock. Being able to wake up to the serene beauty of the lake and having a covered dock for our boat added an extra layer of convenience and enjoyment to our vacation. Furthermore, the location of the property on a no-outlet street provided the ideal combination of privacy and accessibility. We enjoyed leisurely walks in the tranquil surroundings, feeling completely secluded from the huLstle and bustle of everyday life. Overall, our experience at this VRBO property exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail, exceptional amenities, and prime location made it a truly unforgettable getaway.

Lake Cabin Feel

We enjoyed our stay. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. Plenty of comfortable beds with clean linens and towels. We had fun at the fire pit making s’mores and dipping our toes in the lake while watching the sunset. Not a far drive to Clemson for the Football Game.

BEST EVER

Traveled to Lake Hartwell for the National High School Bass Tournament. The communication with the host before, during and after was spot on. They were prompt, kind and so accommodating. We asked to add another day on the end of our trip and they responded immediately and accommodated the extra day. The property is so welcoming. Clean, up to date and completely stocked with every single thing you could ask for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Except maybe to win the Nationals. 36th out of 314! Here fishy fishy!

Great Getaway!

My family and I enjoyed relaxing and swimming off the dock every day. The privacy and safety being in the cove was a real added plus, especially with my 7 year old. We felt very safe that no boats would interfere with our quiet swimming and enjoyment down at the dock. Awesome stay and hope to be back.

Great place to unwind!

We loved playing off the dock and appreciated that there were life vests, kayaks and noodles right there. Peaceful setting and great to relax with family. Location was nice for access to groceries and Clemson. Great hiking if willing to drive a bit. Restaurants have limited hours so check before going. Owners very promptly answered any questions. Would visit again!

Fantastic Getaway

We had a lovely time celebrating my daughter’s graduation at Clemson. The house was great and the lake was so relaxing. The owners were fantastic, check in and out was very easy and we had an amazing time. Wish we had stayed longer to enjoy the fire pit!

Super location, awesome perks!

Beautiful home and outside area for our family - fresh kitchen & bath renovations made a big difference. Kayaks were a huge hit with the kids and adults, and the boat dock with great seating and water area was used every day. Fire pit, beautiful back porch with comfy seating and gas grill were big pluses too. Great lake cove that was inviting and lively but not too busy for our young kids to easily play and boat around. Very convenient to many restaurants - recommend The Farm - and grocery stores, including delivery from Publix. We rented a pontoon from Big Water Marina, as recommended by the owner, and had a lovely experience with the people and food offerings at the marina. Highly recommend! Owner was very easy to communicate with and gracious during our stay. Kids are begging to come back every year!

Lake Hartwell House

We loved our month at Brian's lake house. The house has a great view and is well equipped and comfortable. We used the canoe and kayaks to explore the lake. The quiet was broken by the huge variety of birds chirping and singing including bluebirds at the birdhouse and hummingbirds at the feeder. Shopping is close by too. We hope to stay there again.

Quiet time

Cabin located off the beaten path but still only 25 minutes for Clemson events and 10 minutes to choice of 2 major grocery store. 15 minutes from downtown Anderson. Nearby waterfalls, mountains and Greenville between an hour to two hours away. Great for exploring this part of western SC and nearby Georgia.

Above and Beyond - A Great Location

We had a great time this weekend and it was just what we needed. The owners are very responsive, flexible and definitely go above and beyond. The layout for our family of 4 was great and the kids love the wrap-around porch, swing and bunkbeds. The owners recommended a drive-thru safari, which was about 30 minutes from the house and the kids loved it! There are plenty of stores and restaurants nearby as well. We will definitely stay here again!

Great stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. The dock, the deck and the fire pit are awesome! We used the kayaks and canoe, and they worked well. The great room (kitchen and family room) and bathrooms have been very tastefully redone and are very nice. Everything was clean. The owner was very good with communication, and wanted to ensure we fully understood that there were bunk beds. All the beds were reasonably comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. We definitely enjoyed our stay at the lake.

Great Getaway

This is our swcond trip to Lake Hartwell and this house was perfect! We had 4 adults and 2 kids (ages 5&7) on our trip and we had such a blast fishing, swimming, and kayaking on the lake! The house had everything we needed and was a perfect location. We also took a day trip to hike Table Rock and it was worth the drive! We can't wait to return!

Family gathering for Thanksgiving

We were looking for a property with a spacious floor plan that had amenities such as a deck and Lakeview. This checked all the boxes. The perks were an amazing hammock swaying under the deck, the kayaks and canoe we had access to as well as a fully stocked house that helped make our dining in experiences amazing. The beds were comfortable and the updated bathrooms were lovely. I can tell this is a well-cared-for at home and the easy walk to the Lake made it fun to go there early mornings with coffee and late nights stargazing. We will definitely rent this place again. The owners were super helpful and wonderful.

Perfect Indian Summer Weekend Getaway

A friend and I decided to pack up the kids (2,3,6,&6 yrs old) and head out of town for the weekend while our husbands had to work. We had an amazing trip relaxing in the beautiful house with a lovely view! The kids (and I) had a blast jumping off of the dock to swim and taking short kayak trips around the cove. We were able to light a fire and roast marshmallows! The kids were also very excited about sleeping in the bunk room. We moms were excited to have some wine on the porch after the kids went to bed. The house was beautiful and well appointed in the bathrooms and kitchen! Lots of little touches that go a long way! The only disappointing thing of the whole weekend was that it ended! Can't wait to schedule our next trip!

About the host

Hosted by Brian Bowling

The owners enjoy family weekends on the lake boating, water skiing, fishing and canoeing throughout the year. We love the lake lifestyle and local antique shops, and the Carolina BBQ is fantastic.

Why they chose this property

We have two boys and wanted to build great memories on the lake - learning to fish, ski, canoe, sail, build campfires, etc. We also wanted a rustic cabin feel that was a complete getaway from the city.
