Beautiful 5 Acre Lakefront Private Retreat w/ Boat Dock, Hot Tub, 5 Bdrm/ 5 bath

Scenic serenity is undeniable at this sprawling 5 acre lakefront vacation rental house! Boasting 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, and a private dock, this property has it all for a unique retreat on Lake Hartwell. Enjoy days boating, fishing, and swimming with 500 feet of waterfront! Shopping centers & restaurants in Anderson are only a few minutes away while Clemson University Football and Death Valley are 11 miles away, or about a 15 minute drive.
Description of layout: The newly renovated house boast 5 bedrooms and 5 baths. On the top floor is a private master suite with vaulted ceilings and a luxurious bathroom with clawfoot tub and shower. Down the hall is a bedroom with a full bed and trundle underneath. Enjoy the window seat and built in storage as you look out over the lake. There is also a small private bathroom with shower.
On the main floor there are two living areas (both with large screen TV's) as well as a well equipped kitchen, no need to bring common condiments or dishes as we have you covered! There is a family room off the kitchen as well as large living area with access to the covered porch (with dinning and seating and stairs to lower level). The dining room seats 10 and is perfect for all your family and friends. Rooms on this floor consist of a bedroom with queen bed and a bathroom that has access to the main living area. The bedroom off the kitchen is perfect for kids with a queen/twin bunk bed as well as a twin trundle. There is also a bathroom off the kitchen with shower.
The lower level is pure fun! We have an arcade, foosball table, air hockey and bumper pool. There are loads of board games as well as outdoor cornhole. In the living room enjoy a large screen TV and full size sleeper/sofa. In the adjacent bedroom is a queen bed as well as a twin daybed. There's a newly remodeled bathroom that has access off the bedroom and laundry area. In the laundry you will find plenty of laundry detergent, extra towels, life vests etc. to enjoy in the hot tub or down on the dock!
Outside off the lower level is pure peace, privacy and serenity. We have a beautiful hot tub, loungers and kayaks to enjoy on the massive dock that is all yours during your stay.
Surveillance devices, including security cameras and smart doorbells for safety and security are in use outside the property.

Our family all came in town for Thanksgiving and we rented the house so we could all be together. The house was perfect. There was 11 of us and we had plenty of room. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner and the kitchen was well supplied. The dining area was large enough so we could all get around the table. There are two gathering areas so plenty of space to sit and talk and play games. Each time we had a question there was a quick response. The driveway is a little steep but once you are there it feels like you are in a secluded Mtn cabin. We would definitely stay again!

REVIEW DETAIL
Our extended family had a great time at this beautiful lakefront home. Family ages ranged from 1 - 76, so this is not always easy. We had space for everyone, and the kitchen /eating area were a fun hangout. The oversized dock with seating was a huge bonus. The only things I would improve is an extra kitchen trash can, an extra outside trash can, and a bit of a better path down to the lake. But the effort was worth it! We had a ball, floating, swimming and jumping in to the lake! And the renovations to the house are great. Also appreciated are the kitchen necessities...containers, bags, a few spices... all in all, it was absolutely the experience we were hoping for. Thank you!

This house was very comfortable to live in and easily fit our large family. There was a nice sized back yard for wiffle ball or other yard games. Although it was chilly the weekend we visited, the dock access was nice and we enjoyed some quiet time on the dock.

There was plenty of room for us to fit around the dining room table.

Our family is 5 couples, so having the 5 bedrooms and 5 baths was key! The house is close to Clemson, which was convenient and we actually found a park nearby with walking/running paths - another huge plus!

Finding the house is really tricky, so pay close attention to the directions from the host!

I truly can not say enough good and wonderful things about this trip!!! We were truly astonished at how beautiful the house is. The master bedroom is truly something to behold. Incredibly clean, well-stocked and communicative and flexible with us as guests—I can not recommend highly enough! House was large enough for seventeen of us to stay comfortably including four small kids.

Memorable family get together
Wow! The home, property, dock and lake were incredible! Our family of 14 had our best ever annual family gathering. It was a Perfect four night stay. It was unanimous, we all want to come back next summer. Owner is friendly and goes out of his way to make sure everything is great and makes you feel like it is your home for your stay! Travis the maintenance fellow is likewise awesome. We thought we had a problem night one with the frig and he was ready to replace it. We told him, we will wait until morning and see if it was just our loading it up—it was. No problems after it caught up. Couldn’t recommend this place any higher.

Everything we were looking for
Fantastic property in a quiet area yet still close enough to downtown. Kids had an excellent time on the dock, in the swing, and on the kayaks exploring. Rented boats a couple days via Boatsetter and went tubing down the Saluda River. Downstairs kept the kids occupied while the adults enjoyed drinks upstairs. Really couldn't ask for more...a great multi-family summer vacation!

Birthday Weekend
We had a fantastic Birthday weekend / men’s group retreat at this beautiful 5-acre lakefront private retreat. The house was perfect for our group of 6, with spacious accommodations and a well-equipped kitchen that made meal preparation easy. The primary suite on the top floor was huge, and the lower level offered endless entertainment with the game room, including arcade games, foosball, air hockey, bumper pool, and board games. We enjoyed the hot tub, kayaks, and we brought our SeaDoo to the private dock. The secluded setting was ideal for relaxation. We saw many Herons in the private cove. Overall, this retreat exceeded our expectations. It’s well-maintained, beautifully renovated, and offers all the comforts of home in a stunning lakefront setting. Highly recommended for any group looking for a perfect getaway. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

This house was the perfect getaway for 4 extended families to gather and watch the Clemson game together. Spacious house, perfectly appointed (kitchen, lake gear, game room, bathroom linens etc) we didn’t go wanting for a thing. We had a question about the Garbage disposal and our host was immediately available and helpful to answer all questions. Everyone appreciated the nice hot tub after a chilly game day. Thank you!

Awesome, Relaxing Getaway
This property is everything we could have hoped it would be ... a well stocked gourmet kitchen, 3 separate "living" areas, both indoor and back porch dining, lake views and breezes ... not to mention 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms gave everyone plenty of room to relax and do their own thing. AND THE LAKE ... we brought our boat and took it out twice, but one day everyone just relaxed on the dock, swimming and floating the day away. The hosts here have thought of everything. The entire family is ready to book again!
