Charming Lakefront home on Lake Hartwell

Our home is located on 11 acres of wooded land in a deep water cove on Lake Hartwell. My husband and I Iive here permanently in the big house.. We also have a guest house which we rent out via VRBO on a part time basis. This area around the houses is nicely landscaped and well maintained. Much of the other 11 acres is heavily wooded. Guests who come here will be renting the guest house. It is 1600 square feet of space consisting of 2 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The large master bath has 2 vanities and 2 sinks, a jacuzzi tub with jets, and a separate walk in shower with built in bench. The water closet has a door for privacy. The smaller bathroom has 1 sink and vanity, and a tub shower. It is connected to the smaller bedroom by a sliding door that can be locked to make it private to that bedroom only. Or it can be accessed via a 2nd door to the dining area. Maximum # of guests is 4 including children. The bathrooms, kitchen, and utility rooms are tiled. All other rooms are done in hardwood with area rugs. My husband has his workshop attached to the guest house on one side. There is a door that connects this workshop to the guest house via a door in the utility room. This door is kept locked and blocked at all times while guests are here. It is locked from the workshop side.
There is a key lock on the guest house side, but we do not provide them a key. We do have a security system in place which monitors the areas around the 2 homes. Cameras are situated showing the areas around the 4 corners of the 2 houses. The cameras are located above the garage doors, the 4 sides of both buildings to cover whatever is in their field of view. They are there for the protection of the grounds and the occupants. We also have in place several motion sensitive lights. Those lights come on whenever motion is detected. This might be a person or a deer. They are just courtesy lights. Probably the best courtesy is for a late arrival. And one is located above the back door of the guest house, their arriving door, and the other one is above the door on the shop on the yard side. This illuminates the yard that is shared by us and guests. The # address for the guest house is 150 and the # for the main house (ours) is 152 completely separate houses. The shared spaces are the yard, the walkway, the dock, and the lake..
Great rental. Cozy in the woods. Right on the lake.. Everything you need is right here.
Our home is in a rural area, so you may want to bring some food with you. If you are coming from the north and heading south on 85, you can get off at Exit 19 and head toward Anderson. Publix is the first big grocery store you will see and it is on the right. Just watch for the sign. If you are coming from the
south and heading north on 85, you can get off at exit 4 and turn towards Love's Truck Stop. Where the road Y's, go left onto Hwy.243 and then Hwy 24 right to Ingles or Food Lion The closest grocery stores to us are on Hwy 24 in Anderson. There is a Food Lion and an Ingles, one on either side of the road across from each other. Ingles address is 4396 SC-24 in Anderson and it is 9.7 miles from us.

Wonderful, relaxing stay
We had a wonderful stay at Pat & Mary's lake home, such a peaceful & relaxing place! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained and the home was very clean and had everything (and more) that we needed to fix meals at home. The dock was amazing, we had a great time floating in the lake and relaxing and enjoying the tranquility from the upper level of the dock. Pat & Mary are very friendly, wonderful people and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property with us!

Immaculate Lake Stay
This property was impeccable and comfortable for our family of six. Initially, we were apprehensive about staying in the guest house with the owners so close in the main house, but Mary and Pat were so hospitable yet respected our privacy. This house (and hosts) surpassed all of our expectations! This is a must go to location!

Fun on the Lake
We enjoyed the Master’s lake house. Pat and Mary are great hosts. I stayed with my wife and 3 grandkids (10,8,6). The kids loved the fishing and boating (we were able to rent the Master’s pontoon). We definitely plan on returning. My wife enjoyed her birthday weekend. We will definitely rent again.

Very roomy 2 BR/2BA cottage overlookingh Lake Hartwell
We had a wonderful 2 nights at this cottage overlooking Lake Hartwell. Mary & Pat are very hospitable hosts. We had our 16 year old granddaughter with us and she enjoyed it as well. We rented their pontoon boat for a whole day and had a great time exploring this beautiful lake and anchoring to swim in several different places. Well recommended!!!

Sweet lakeside cottage
If you are looking for a quiet respite, this is it. If you want a place to enjoy the water, this is it. If you value a clean, comfortable, spacious rental, this is it. Full kitchen, washer/dryer, gas grill, whirlpool tub, two story dock in a quiet cove. We brought our kayaks (and lifejackets) and had a wonderful time. Sweet hosts live next door.

Wonderful, well thought out property.
What a pleasant stay we had. Nice, secluded property on lake hartwell with a dock, spacious home which was very clean, nicely appointed and well maintained. A bonus for us is that the property owners also had a home next door. Pat and Mary were wonderful hosts, very nice people and for anyone concerned about the property owners also living on the property, they respected your privacy.. I really enjoyed meeting and chatting with them. I definately recommend this property.

This house was perfect for the 2 of us, and would be great for a family of 4. Mary was very easy and clear to work with, the house was clean and had everything we needed. The dock and lakeview were gorgeous and perfect for Sunday morning with a cup of tea!!

Great stay
We loved our stay on Lake Hartwell! Our favorite part was the dock on the lake. It is convenient enough to other areas (within an hour) that had a lot of adventures. We took a few day trips to Mountains Rest for some great waterfall hikes and also to Tallulah Gorge and enjoyed some time on the lake in the afternoon and between adventures. The house is on a quiet cove of the lake. We enjoyed floating in the lake and sitting on the dock morning and night. A great place to relax. The house is very clean and well maintained. Pat and Mary are lovely hosts.

Due to Hurricane Ian, I was only able to spend one night and the other memebres of my party were unable to attend. Accomodation meet all my needs. Since I was attending the Clemson game, I did not have an oppurtunity to enjoy the property. Planning a second trip the end of November.

Beautiful Lake Getaway
We rented the property due to its close proximity to the lake with a boat rental available onsite. The home, grounds, dock and boat surpassed our expectations. The entire property was clean and beautiful. Communication with the owners was excellent. We had beautiful weather to enjoy the dock and lake. Beds were comfy but we were so exhausted from all day lake fun, it was easy to fall asleep. Kitchen amenities were excellent, we had all we needed to cook our meals. Dollar General is close by for last mintute items. The best long weekend in a perfect location!

Amazing quiet haven and refreshing experience on Lake Hartwell
My husband and I stayed here for a week to check out and relax from our remote work routine. We could not have been happier with our experience and decision. The property is serene and full of nature's beauty. I enjoyed many evenings sitting on the porch or dock listening to the birds. The dock is a little retreat by itself with two levels to enjoy depending on your preference. The home was warm, spotless, and had anything you could want or need to enjoy your stay. It was nice to enjoy cooking out on the grill or grabbing a bite to eat at the local restaurants. If I could give this listing 50 stars, I would. We hope to return soon!

Lake Front home on Lake Hartwell
As a fairly independent disabled guest who rented the place on my birthday to do some fishing, my stay at this lake front home was tons of fun! Wheelchair accessibility on the property was very good. I had no major issues getting around in the house. The doors were wide enough for my chair and I was able to access all rooms. There’s a cemented pathway that leads to the dock and is fairly accessible if you have someone to help because it is quite steep. Pat and Mary were very welcoming and the communication was great. They allowed us to take non-motorized toys for the lake and we took the canoe for a very relaxing and fun morning fishing outing. We’ve caught fish! Highly recommended for disabled guests!

Exceeded our expectations!
Mary and Pat have a jewel of an oasis in their property on Lake Hartwell. I read other reviews where guests felt odd about it being a guesthouse and the proximity to the main house but we truly only saw Mary and Pat when we initiated contact - it really does feel like your own little slice of heaven. The dock is the real deal and I feel comfortable saying that they do indeed have THE largest dock on Lake Hartwell :) We rented their pontoon boat which worked out great and we also used the canoe and paddle boat that they have for us to use. The water is nice and deep right off the dock which allowed us to swim right off the dock. We are already planning our next trip down and whole heartedly recommend Mary and Pat's property to anyone interested in getting away from it all and relaxing lakeside on Hartwell. Eric & Andrea
