-- POLICIES --

- No smoking
- No pets allowed
- No events, parties, or large gatherings
- Must be at least 25 years old to book
- Additional fees and taxes may apply
- Photo ID may be required upon check-in
- NOTE: While the property features step-free entry and a bedroom and bathroom on the 1st floor, stairs are required to reach the additional bedrooms and bathroom on the 2nd floor
- NOTE: This property may not be suitable for young children due to the unfenced lake area
- NOTE: The lake levels have been lowered by the Corps of Engineers, which means the dock is now sitting on the ground. You can check current lake levels at the Lake Hartwell Water Level website
- NOTE: The lake levels on Lake Hartwell are managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. They lower the lake level, typically starting in late summer, and do not raise it again until early spring. This means that during the months of September-March, the lake levels are often too low to accommodate a boat or swimming or fishing at the dock. If these activities are central to your stay, we recommend that you first check the water levels by Googling 'Lake Hartwell Lake Level'
- NOTE: The dock sits in about 5.5 feet of water when the lake is at ‘full pool' (660' for Lake Hartwell). If the lake level is 655' or less, there will not be enough water to boat, swim, or fish from the dock. If the water is too low, you can always launch your boat at the nearby Hartwell State Park on Highway 11 (

GREAT VACATION
We had a wonderful visit over Memorial Day weekend. The house was very comfortable, especially the bedding which is not always the case when renting. The owner was very accommodating and allowed us to check in early. The only negative was that the hill leading to the dock was very steep. Because I have knee issues I was not able to go down there but all the others in our group were able to.

Nice place to stay but the roads were really bad
We really enjoyed our stay. Great place for a long weekend. But, when I ask about the roads being washed out it was played off as a joke and if we hadn’t have driven a truck we would’ve been able to go down the road to the house! Very large area where the creek washes through! Take the back way in even if it hasn’t rained it’s still there!

Hartwell Cabin
The cabin was clean but there were cob webs inside and covering th outside of the cabin. The walk to the lake is very steep and even if you are in shape you will get winded climbing the hill back up to the cabin. The driveway is pretty hard to maneuver. It is gravel and not smooth. Difficult for light weight vehicles. The stars are spectacular!

Beautiful cabin
The cabin was so beautiful,very clean. Lots of deck space, lovely fireplace heaters. Our favorite was the 4 seasons room where you can sit and have your cup of coffee and relax.Since it was november, having the cozy heater was great. The beds were very comfortable. Lots of games to play. We walked down to the lake but that would be more enjoyable in the summer. Kitchen fully stocked and yes there are plenty of coffee cups. Didnt have any trouble getting to the cabin. There arent many restaurants nearby, we did go to Tilly tiki bar and that was delicious, beautiful views. So head to a grocery store first if you plan on cooking in the cabin. Chris was very quick to answer texts, allowed an early check in and was available to answer questions. Highly recommend this cabin, was one. Of my favorites.

Cozy cabin
The pictures of the cabin on VRBO are true to the current condition and décor. It was cozy and comfortable. I loved the screened porch. And a nice surprise were the comfortable beds! The area was quiet and the dock was nice. I did not give it the 5 stars that others thought it deserved because the kitchen needed a good cleaning. I called Chris on Saturday, immediately upon arriving, to tell him that the kitchen had not been properly cleaned. He never called me back. There was dried food on the cabinet fronts, knobs were sticky, oven had food running down the front glass, and the counters were covered with crumbs. Overall, it was gross. We planned to cook every meal and I had to clean the kitchen before I could prepare food for my family. Then I noticed the pots and pans had Teflon coating that was badly scratched and peeling. We had to drive to Walmart, not close at all, and buy pots to use for our vacation. The outdoor furniture is in need of repair. The green plastic chairs left green residue on our clothes. There was a hammock in the photos but it was not hooked up. FYI, the downstairs bedroom is not a master suite. The bathroom is in the hall, and the fireplace is a double-sided fireplace with the living room. The noise from the living room comes through the fireplace and it is not very private. The driveway had very deep potholes and was difficult to get up. If these few things don't bother you, I would recommend the cabin.

Great Cabin!
Everything was great! The ONLY issue was the steepness of the hill to the boat dock. Other than that, things were pretty good! Also, the dishwasher didn’t really clean the dishes so we did them by hand. But that’s a small issue.

A quiet get-away
We wanted to spend a few days away just to get away from our daily routine. This proved to be an excellent choice. Our only "complaint" was that there really wasn't a convenient place to get our daily walks in. There was an issue with the lake water level being high which made to dock inaccessible. We contacted Chris and he responded almost immediately and provided the instructions we needed to move the dock for easy access. The cabin had everything we needed. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.
