Weekend Getaway
We were quite comfortable with 6 adults and four children in this lovely, nicely furnished 4 bedroom cabin. We rented a pontoon boat at nearby Harbor Light Marina and parked it at the dock which is shown in the photos. The walk down is a fairly rugged trail and a good pair of shoes are recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had a great time on the water.

Nice House But…
We hosted a family reunion and the size and the layout of the house was ideal. If you are booking this for a place with good lake access be aware that this is at the very end of a lake inlet, one house from a creek head, very shallow, hard to get a boat to, and you would not want to swim off the dock.

Great Stay on the Lake
We very much enjoyed our stay at the cabin on Lake Hartwell. The furnishings were very comfortable and homey, and we thought everything was great inside and outside of the cabin. We very much enjoyed being outside on the porches and the use of the grill in the evening to prepare our dinner. I did not take the opportunity to walk down to the dock on the lake but I could see it and I’m sure it would be wonderful down on the water. Overall our stay was great we highly recommend this location is very relaxing and quiet and a great place to spend the weekend or week!
