About this property

Adorable Cabin with great views, swimming, bathing and fishing

We have a small, but accommodating cabin on Lake Hartwell. Lake Hartwell forms the border between Georgia and South Carolina and although the lake is attracting more people every year, it stays very peaceful and uncrowded. What's more; the lake is extremely clean and very warm May through September! There are 2 bedroom AREAS. Twin beds comprise the sole bedroom. The other bedroom area has a queen-size bed intentionally located next to a cozy fireplace. Privacy for this bedroom area is provided by a folding screen that can be easily folded back to view the fireplace which can be used in the wintertime. We have a full kitchen and one full bathroom. The house has a big wooden deck with rocking chairs, a grill, and a picnic table to enjoy. Furthermore, we have great lake access with a dock. There are chairs and umbrellas for the deck and dock and kayaks which can also be used. Sorry, we don't let anyone use our boats but Harbor Light Marina is a 20 minute drive away where boats can be rented if so desired.
Guests should expect a quiet, relaxing getaway while staying here. The lake is not too busy as most people who have houses on the lake only use them on holidays or weekends. Our lake house is situated in a cove, and almost everyone on our cove lives elsewhere the majority of the time (including us). Toccoa is the nearest town, which is a short, 15 mile drive away. There is Calico Country Store, which is only a 5 minute drive away where basic food & drink needs can be met. The closest gas station is also about 5 minutes away, but any restaurant/shops/attraction needs can be met in Toccoa. Clemson is approximately 45 minutes away and UGA is one hour from the cabin. The cabin is an hour and a half drive from downtown Atlanta.
There is no public transit to this lake house. The Amtrak train runs to Toccoa. Interstate 85 is approx. 15 miles away from our lake house.

This lake house would be perfect for a romantic getaway, or any type of vacation where one is looking to escape the "hustle and bustle." It is a perfect spot to spend family time. This property is NOT conducive for parties of more than 5 people maximum without owner consent. The cabin has wifi and a smart TV where personal channels can be accessed easily. Also due to our son's allergies, we are firm on no smoking nor animals of any kind allowed in the cabin. We utilize a five step rigorous cleaning and sanitizing process between guests.

Check-in is after 3:00 pm and Check-out is before 11:00 AM unless special arrangements have been made with the owner. As a courtesy, please let us know your ETA an ETD if possible, prior to the reservation. This aids us greatly in our planning process. A week out, if we have not sent you additional cabin info including directions and access codes, please contact us and we will send it right away.

Cabin Guidelines: There is no smoking NOR Pets/service animals allowed inside the cabin due to our son's allergies. The cabin sleeps four comfortably Additional charges:
1. There is a charge of $50.00 per night per guest over 4 people, not to exceed 5 people maximum. This includes day and night usage. This charge may need to be worked out after the transaction is complete, if it does not show up in the final charges.
2. There is a charge of $20.00 if excessive towels and linens are used. (One bath and one beach towel per person for two night stays.)
3. There is a charge of $1.00 per log, not to exceed the 6-8 pieces of firewood. Leave this money on the kitchen table.
4. Directions and lock box info is given to our guests one week before the rental date. If guests have not received additional info one week out, they should contact the host for further details.
5.. If the cabin is used for more guests on an overnight or daily basis other than what is contracted for, we will ask you to vacate the premises immediately and lose your reservation fee. This is NOT a party place. Sorry but we are firm on this. It is what keeps our little place nice for future guests.

Very good getaway. Close enough to drive to lots of things to do but secluded enough to be quiet and peaceful. Thouroughly enjoyed our time at the lake cabin.

Meets and exceeds description!

Stayed for the week of the 4th. Hosts keep a very well stocked, comfortable, and clean home. Dock area was quiet for even the fourth and there are plenty of outside spaces in the sun and shade depending on the time of day. Host was very responsive to any messages One thing, when we booked it said it had no WiFi, but the cabin DOES have WiFi and streaming access. Very important if you have teens ☺️. Thank you for keeping such a welcoming place

Cabin on Lake Hartwell

Upon entering the cabin you are aware of mold or mildew odor. Mattresses need updating, not comfortable.

A Fun Vacation

We had a great time on vacation. The owners were nice and easy to deal with. The snack basket was a fun treat. The cabin was cozy and stocked with lots of essentials. We loved the privacy of the location. The kids had tons of fun, as did the grown ups. Everyone loved the kayaks and the canoe. There were plenty of floats and water toys. The only downside to the trip was that the air did not work properly our entire stay, so it was really hot, but the owners did try to have it fixed. We made do with fans, and of course, the lake was a great place to cool off. All in all, we would definitely go back.

Family oriented

This was a great little cabin for our family of 5. My hubby was able to fish his heart out. My daughter, 11 yo, enjoyed the fishing and being able to Facetime her bestie to show off the wonderful cabin. My 12 yo son (Autistic and other delays) enjoyed the bedroom (great WI-FI) for him to be content. He also went down to the dock and watched the fishing, the area is quiet enough for him to enjoy being outside (he has hearing sensitives) And lastly, my 3 yo son loved the cabin, inside and out, he loved the TV (it stayed on Disney the whole time, haha), the set up, so many chairs to sit it and stairs to climb. He also enjoy being on the dock helping with the fishing action. I loved the peacefulness between all of my crew and that they had a fantastic time. The 3 yo keeps asking to go back!! Kimmy

Cabin is as advertised. Very easy to check in. Nice amenities. We had a little difficulty finding the address, mainly bc it sets back from the road a bit. We found Cynthia to be a gracious host.

Great weekend, beautiful view

We had a great weekend. The lake view is beautiful and we enjoyed swimming off the dock both days. I loved sitting out there in the morning with my coffee. House had everything we needed. It is a small place and furnishings are a little old but suited us fine. The description was accurate and was a good value.

About the host

Hosted by cynthia f quarterman

Host profile image
We love to travel and meet people and have always appreciated the concept of hospitality to complete strangers.

Why they chose this property

We have enjoyed this sweet cabin as we raised our two sons. Now we are empty nesting and we want others to enjoy our little piece of God's creation.

What makes this property unique

This lake has the second largest shore line of any inland lake southeast of the Mississippi. It's a great lake to explore. It is also very clean and warm. I love to swim my laps in the cove three times a week during the summer months. The lake has no dangerous marine life so it makes it the perfect place to enjoy all water sports. If you don't like swimming or boating, it is still the most relaxing place I can think of. If you do like swimming, moon light dips are awesome in our cove!
