Hartwell lake deep water home, family friendly and close to Clemson and UGA

This spacious home is located on beautiful Lake Hartwell in Lavonia, GA. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat with fun in the sun this is the place for you. It is on Gumlog Creek just above the Tugaloo River main channel with deep water and open space for boating and skiing. Gather the gang and enjoy swimming, boating, tubing, skiing, and chilling on the dock. Perfect place for getting away from it all and making memories with your family and friends.
This home comes complete with a 2 slip boat dock and a large swim platform. Bring your boat or rent one and chill in the sun of this spacious dock. There’s a paved pathway from the home to the dock and plenty of room to park several cars plus ample space for a boat trailer.
The three story home features floor to ceiling windows in the living and dining areas overlooking the lake. The spacious family area has plenty of room for the family to gather complete with a 52" flat screen TV. Off the living area is a deck where you can rock your troubles away. The inside dining area has a large 8 person table with a great view of the lake and an additional 6 person table for the kids or kids at heart. The kitchen is fully equipped with a 5 burner stove and double ovens for the person who loves to cook. There’s also a outdoor flat propane grill and a charcoal grill for all your grilling needs.
This spacious lake front home easily sleeps 16+ with the master bedroom located on the main floor with a king size bed and a 32" flat screen TV. The master bathroom has a double sink, jetted tub and separate shower. The additional 3 bedrooms are located upstairs. On the left you will find a bedroom with two full size beds and a private bath. On the right are two bedrooms, one has a queen size bed and the other has two full size beds. These two bedrooms share a bathroom. There are additional sleeping spaces in the basement with a twin bed, full bed and a full size futon. Our home is perfect for a large family or group. The fourth bathroom is located on the basement level which works great for the basement guests and lake traffic.
In addition, there's a ping pong table and air hockey table for your enjoyment. In the backyard there's a fire pit for chilly nights or making s’mores.
This home is in an excellent location being only 4 miles from Interstate 85 and approximately 3 miles from Tugaloo State Park. Our home is approxmately 1/2 mile from Franklin County Boat Ramp and 1 mile from Harbor Light Marina for fueling boats. The marina also has boat and jet ski rentals. The area is convenient to many restaurants including the famous “Gumlog Barbecue and Fish Lodge” and has ample opportunities for shopping and entertainment. The home is approximately 1 hour north of the Atlanta metro area and 30 minutes south of Anderson, SC. There is a Tanger Outlet Mall in Commerce, GA approximately 30 minutes south from the home. Perfect location for UGA (50 min) and Clemson (30 min) football games.
All linens are provided, ample supply of towels, toilet tissue and paper towels. The kitchen is stocked with spices, plenty of pots and pans and most any gadget you might need. Full sized washer and dryer with all the laundry essentials. We have a pack-n-play and highchair for the little ones available upon request.
You are welcome to bring all the children but pets are not allowed and there are no exceptions as we have grandchildren who are very allergic. This is also a non-smoking home and smoking and vaping are not allowed inside.
This home is perfect to gather the family, guy's fishing trip, ladies get away or any large group. Please feel free to contact us with any addtional questions.

Perfect house and lake access
Every year we get the same group of friends together for a lake weekend and out of all the other years this home was by far our favorite! Plenty of beds for everyone and the lake was perfect. We floated all day by the dock and the water is so clean!

4th of July week at the lake
I am so pleased with everything about our stay. Communication with the owners was great from the start. We had a large group, with over half of them young children, and found every part of the home extremely accommodating from the play areas to the boat dock and the location on the lake, everthing was perfect. Thank you so much and I hope to stay again.

Very nice lake front home. We had a fantastic time
Very large and clean lake front home that we used for a weekend college graduation celebration for our daughter. The home was perfect for what we needed. The owners were prompt to respond before and during stay. We needed a later check out time, and the owners graciously accommodated. I would definitely recommend this property.

Wonderful lake house!
We stayed at this house for a weekend with family and friends celebrating Homecoming at Clemson. It was an easy drive from the Clemson campus and had a beautiful dock on the lake to enjoy on Sunday. The house was very clean and spacious and the kitchen had everything we needed to prep our tailgate food! We usually don't stay on the Georgia side of Lake Hartwell, but we would love to come back in the summer and enjoy the water!

Lovely Home with Easy Lake Access
We greatly enjoyed our stay the first weekend of June. The property was exactly as advertised and there was more than enough room to accommodate our 12 person group, including parking for multiple cars. The home has the feel of visiting relatives you distantly know. The kitchen is well stocked to meet cooking needs, the beds are comfortable, and lake access is a short walk along a concrete path. The deep-water dock is a wonderful place to watch the sunset. We highly recommend this destination for enjoying Lake Hartwell.

Great Lake getaway!
We loved our time at Grizzle’s getaway. We were two families there for a Labor Day weekend. There was plenty of room for all of us and then some. The house is well stocked for food and fun! The kitchen had all the items we could need (spices, ziploc bags, pots and pans of every size, tons of untensils, plenty of plates for two families, etc.) and the basement & dock were loaded with items to enjoy - fishing gear, ping pong, floats, chairs, lake towels, etc. We brought a boat and the boat ramp could not have been any closer! The house was clean, comfortable and welcoming. We would definitely book it again.

Mostly Awesome
House was beautiful and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The basement patio was wonderful to sit and relax. Very cool in 95 degree heat. Our only complaint was the STEEP and long walkway to the dock. There were supposed to be 2 golf carts but there was only one and it didn't work. The owner tried to repair it but it didn't help. The kids and grandkids had a great time but my husband and I couldn't get to the dock to enjoy it. Highly recommended for people who are able to walk and climb hills.
