The house was great for two generations to have our own space with two living rooms, and then being able to all gather as well. We ate most of our meals on the deck and enjoyed the ample seating on the dock. We were delighted that the kitchen was well stocked. Our one very small problem was answered soon by the owner. The house had more games than we could play. Great family relaxation time! ##### Sherrie C.

We stayed with our dog and 2 small children and the accommodations were more than enough if our party had been triple the size! The property was well maintained inside and out and even during a time when lake levels were very low, there was deep water and good fishing from the dock. Golf cart was a huge bonus as well!

The dock location close to big water was great for boating and swimming. Property is well maintained and firepit was great after long days on the lake. We had a large group of adults, teens, kids, and dogs. Plenty of room for everyone. Had an awesome time and would definitly rent this property again! Shawn M ##### Shawn M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shag B. Sep 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend getaway for a WEDDING!! My daughter love Hartwell and minimalism so we had her wedding at the Botanical gardens. This was her mother and my house for the weekend and we entertained the whole wedding party (10 folks) easily for dinner for a couple of evenings. Very quiet. Very well supplied. One lil family stayed an evening with us and the baby enjoyed the deck with us and the walks to the water to throw rocks. Our dogs were worn to a frazzle walking back and forth to the water. THAT WAS A BLESSING AS WELL!!! Wife already talking about another visit. ##### Shag B.
