Lake house rental
We enjoyed our stay over the Thanksgiving weekend. A nice get together for our family. More room than expected. The kids enjoyed fishing and the dogs had plenty of areas to play. Everyone was comfortable but my husband and I had the king bed upstairs and found it could use extra padding. Really enjoyed the back porch with the tv. Highly recommend this for large family and would consider it again. Thanks

Escaped aftermath of Helene in NC for 1 wk.
If i can edit this at a later date, i will. I am reviewing from a hotspot on my phone. We still have no internet/wifi - 2 + wks after storm. Great communication from host! She allowed us to move our dates up by a day, since we could not get out due to road closed by mud sides, flood and trees down.. Enjoyed stay. Rented pontoon boat. The house had a few issues related to storm, but these were relayed to host. Example: strong smell of fireplace in house; water must have gotten in. Screened in porch a plus! Apologize for errors, difficult to to do this on phone. wks

Had the best time!
We had the best time! My family and grandboys did not want to leave. The house was more than sufficient for us. We loved the wide open space to have family together. It had everything supplied very well. Even extra toilet paper! Had all the appliances and the gas grill was great to have. Had plenty of towels and beach towels to use. Three bathrooms were very useful. Everyone enjoyed fishing off the dock. We did that a lot. Jumping off the dock into the lake was fun because it was hot Saturday. The boys enjoyed the kayaks, that was something new for them. The biggest fun we had was riding, fishing and water toys on the pontoon, which is a very nice pontoon. We had a bonfire in the fire pit and roasted marshmallows. The host was very hospitable and kind. We had the best time, and we will defiantly rent here again!

Loved the lake!
The lake house was just as advertised. Communication with our host was great, easy check-in, comfortable home and the pontoon boat was a bonus!! We loved the 2 days we rented the boat, pulling our grandsons on the raft and then leisurely evening rides too. Thanks for a great family vacation week!

Great Lake House
We had a great weekend. The house location was perfect, and the boat rental made our stay even better. The fire pit was a great way to end one night of our stay and watching movies inside rounded it off nicely.

So peaceful and relaxing!
We escaped Atlanta for a few days and the most relaxing and peaceful stay at the Boathouse. It’s a beautiful spot on the lake which we could enjoy from both inside the house and outside. We especially enjoyed boating, kayaking and fishing off the dock. Caroline is a wonderful host, super responsive and welcoming. There are many extra touches like extra towels, and coffee extras that add to the hospitality.

Wonderful Weekend
We stayed in the home for my mom's 80th birthday celebration with my family of 9. The weekend was absolutely wonderful! The walkway to the water is paved and made it easy for my senior parents. They weren't able to get on the dock as there was no ramp but that was ok for them.. The house was adorable and was perfect for our stay. The only issue we had was one of our guests had to stay on the couch in the basement because the sunroom wasn't heated. If we had 4 couples, I'm not sure what we would've done. We traveled the end of February so the room was very cold. It was advertised as an extra bedroom, however, it is a sunroom. The grill plates were rusted through as well. The owner was very responsive when I reached out to her and she refunded a portion of our stay. She also tried to get another grill while we were there. We were very appreciative. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed. The only suggestion I would have would be to bring a cheese grater if you need one. . Would definitely stay again!

Peace and Quiet at the Lake House
Beautiful home with all the amenities and a great view. The host was very quick to respond and very accommodating. We also rented the 2023 pontoon boat located at the home enjoyed our time on the lake. The fire pit is in a perfect location to enjoy the backyard and to see all the stars. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are friendly. The houses was great for two couples and a dog. This a first time visit, but we all agreed we will be back.

Great Family Getaway!
My first comment would have to be that this property owner's communication is crazy fast. Very responsive, very helpful. When we arrived, one of the kayak paddles was missing and Caroline immediately ordered a replacement to be shipped out AND offered to reimburse me if I wanted to go and buy one sooner before it arrived. The property is a great family location on a sleepy cove of Lake Hartwell and was a great fall getaway for us. We rented the boat, and it was honestly amazing to be able to use such a new/clean/nice boat for such a reasonable amount. Would highly recommend.

Love the ‘Lake House’
Our family enjoyed a weekend getaway at the lake house. The house was clean, updated and had all of the amenities we needed for cooking, relaxing, playing games and enjoying the lake! We rented the on-site pontoon, which was so convenient. The pontoon was perfect for our family of 6, and the teens especially enjoyed riding behind on the provided AirHead tube. The boys enjoyed swimming and fishing from the dock as well. The outdoor fire-pit area is terrific with gorgeous lake views. The house is conveniently located to lake access and close to the Harbor Lights Marina for refueling. Don was a terrific host, communicated well and was so welcoming and friendly. We felt right at home. We will definitely be visiting the lake house again and again!
