Cozy Pet Friendly Cottage, 2 story Deep Water Dock - bring your boat!

Quiet family & dog friendly home on Lake Hartwell with a large deck and two level boat dock. Very deep water (23 feet at dock when lake is full) means not worrying about summertime water drops and no touching your feet on the bottom when swimming and no muddy water! Two jet ski ports for keeping your water craft out of water and secure during your stay. Bring your boat too, there is plenty of room to tie up to the dock! There is a small boat ramp that is located in same cove and very easy to get to (Port Bass boat ramp). The spacious upper dock is furnished with cushioned furniture and sunshade. Kayaks are also available to be used to explore our large and quiet cove. The large 20'x30' deck overlooks the lake while keeping dogs and small children secure with gates and fencing. Multiple tables with sunshades, grill, and mosquito lamps will keep you comfortable while grilling out lunch or dinner. Full size washer and dryer along with two full size refrigerators. In addition the house is equipped with central air and smart TV. Master bedroom has a queen size bed, 2nd bedroom has two sets of twin bunk beds, and living room has a queen size pull out sofa bed. Concrete parking area is 35'x50' so there is room for your vehicle and trailer. Fast fiber WiFi included. There are multiple State and Federal parks in the area with hiking and biking trails. We are only 30 minutes to Clemson University and one hour to University of Georgia.

We are about a 10 minute boat ride to Harbor Light Marina where there are boat rentals available. There is also a lakeside restaurant, Tilly's, there at the marina that we love to take a quick boat ride for a bite to eat and a cold beer. Level 2 car charger available.

Our family looks forward to sharing the property we love with you!

What we provide:
- Plenty of bath towels and lake towels
- sheets and blankets
- paper towels
- toilet paper
- trash bags
- dish soap
- hand soap
- small sample sizes of soap, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion (if you have a large family or are staying a week you may want to pack some extra)

Great summer vacation house

This was a great place, it was just as described. We would definitely recommend. My two teenage boys loved jumping and swimming from the dock. The water was very clean and deep off the dock.

Thanksgiving 2020 in Fair Play SC

We had a great time at this property in Fair Play and would highly recommend both the location and host. The boat dock was a highlight and is a wonderful place with the furniture the host has provided. The rental was exactly as described and we are glad to have been privileged to be here.

Amazing Stay!

We really enjoyed our time at this home. Although the house is small, it is very clean and comfortable. They have thought of everything, including plenty of hooks to dry towels or bathing suits, a nice welcome book with any information you may need, and a very well equipped kitchen. The best part was the outside space and dock. Our boys (and us!) enjoyed jumping from the second story of the dock, and we never could make it to the bottom to touch! No grass or mud kicking your feet is a plus! The stairs into the water were easy and comfortable, compared to a typical ladder that can hurt your feet. The walk up and down the stairs definitely had us breathing heavily, but not enough to stop us from enjoying it. The shade covers the dock in the evening and the weather couldn’t have been better. We went tubing in Helen, about an hour away. Also, went north about 1 hour and 45 minutes to a rock slide, in Brevard NC! It’s the perfect location to explore mountains and the lake alike. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure our stay exceeded expectations. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Family vacation

We had a wonderful family vacation. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kids loved the futons and bunk beads. We spent a lot of time at the dock. The best part for the kids (and the husband) were the kayaks. We also fished during the evenings and caught a few nice ones! The owner was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely consider staying there in the future.

Great stay

we had a great Stay at this property. We were able to bring our boat and put it in just down the street from the house. The dock is great and is equipped with lifejackets for humans and dogs of all sizes. The house is not huge, but has a large back deck that is perfect for spending time with family away from the water. There were two fridges that made it easy to shop and prepare meals each day and there were basic essentials in the spice cabinet and fridge that were available to to use. The have everything you need to cook and prep there. Our hosts were very communicative and available if we had any questions. Would definitely come back!

Beautiful lake house

Beautiful lake house. We had an amazing time enjoying the lake - floating, fishing, paddleboarding. They provide several floats, kayaks and a row boat. So nice to be able to bring our dog along to enjoy! The house is very clean and fully stocked with all the essentials. The owner is very pleasant and responds immediately to any questions/concerns. My husband is recovering from cancer treatments, and this beautiful lake retreat was just what the doctor ordered! We Highly recommend.

3rd time at this wonderful place

This is our 3rd time here. We love the location. Very seclude and quiet cove. Only 10 minutes ride to the marina where we rent a pontoon boat. Space to park the boat and enjoy the dock. We caught tons of fish this time around. We plan to be back.

Comfy stay on the lake!

Loved this property! It was so clean and cozy. The owner was communicative and helpful. We were in town for a graduation, and the drive to the events was convenient. We didn’t get the weather to use the dock. But it was really nice, and we’d love to stay again and get to enjoy it!
