Perfect house and lake access

Every year we get the same group of friends together for a lake weekend and out of all the other years this home was by far our favorite! Plenty of beds for everyone and the lake was perfect. We floated all day by the dock and the water is so clean!

4th of July week at the lake

I am so pleased with everything about our stay. Communication with the owners was great from the start. We had a large group, with over half of them young children, and found every part of the home extremely accommodating from the play areas to the boat dock and the location on the lake, everthing was perfect. Thank you so much and I hope to stay again.

Very nice lake front home. We had a fantastic time

Very large and clean lake front home that we used for a weekend college graduation celebration for our daughter. The home was perfect for what we needed. The owners were prompt to respond before and during stay. We needed a later check out time, and the owners graciously accommodated. I would definitely recommend this property.

Wonderful lake house!

We stayed at this house for a weekend with family and friends celebrating Homecoming at Clemson. It was an easy drive from the Clemson campus and had a beautiful dock on the lake to enjoy on Sunday. The house was very clean and spacious and the kitchen had everything we needed to prep our tailgate food! We usually don't stay on the Georgia side of Lake Hartwell, but we would love to come back in the summer and enjoy the water!

Lovely Home with Easy Lake Access

We greatly enjoyed our stay the first weekend of June. The property was exactly as advertised and there was more than enough room to accommodate our 12 person group, including parking for multiple cars. The home has the feel of visiting relatives you distantly know. The kitchen is well stocked to meet cooking needs, the beds are comfortable, and lake access is a short walk along a concrete path. The deep-water dock is a wonderful place to watch the sunset. We highly recommend this destination for enjoying Lake Hartwell.

Great Lake getaway!

We loved our time at Grizzle’s getaway. We were two families there for a Labor Day weekend. There was plenty of room for all of us and then some. The house is well stocked for food and fun! The kitchen had all the items we could need (spices, ziploc bags, pots and pans of every size, tons of untensils, plenty of plates for two families, etc.) and the basement & dock were loaded with items to enjoy - fishing gear, ping pong, floats, chairs, lake towels, etc. We brought a boat and the boat ramp could not have been any closer! The house was clean, comfortable and welcoming. We would definitely book it again.

Mostly Awesome

House was beautiful and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The basement patio was wonderful to sit and relax. Very cool in 95 degree heat. Our only complaint was the STEEP and long walkway to the dock. There were supposed to be 2 golf carts but there was only one and it didn't work. The owner tried to repair it but it didn't help. The kids and grandkids had a great time but my husband and I couldn't get to the dock to enjoy it. Highly recommended for people who are able to walk and climb hills.
