Clemson Hartwell Lake House, 5 kings, pvt dock, Discounted spring rates for 2026

Come and enjoy our family friendly, large lake house on a safe, quiet, secluded cove on Lake Hartwell. You have the entire house to yourself to enjoy the privacy and lake. Ample parking for 6 vehicles next to the house entrance.

We offer flexible check-in and out dates and 2 & 3 day stays this spring and fall, and on summer stays, a 5 day minimum. We always offer weekly stay discounts. If a 7 day stay at the lake is not in your plans this year, consider a shorter 5 day stay with flexible check-in days this summer. We also offer highly discounted longer stays in the months of Jan-March of 2026. You can book early with our flexible cancellation policies.

Our spacious, 3600 sf, 6 bedroom, private family home on 3 floors is set back in a quiet residential cove of Lake Hartwell with a deep water dock for your pontoon or boat. We can sleep up to 14 adults comfortably on memory foam beds, 5 king beds, 2 twins, and queen sleeper couch. We also have 2 additional twin memory foam mattresses that can be used on the floor. Bed linens, bath towels, beach towels and all shower essentials are provided. Our newly installed fiber optic high speed internet service will connect multiple devices. We have 5 "smart" TVs around the house for multiple viewing options.

Clemson and "Death Valley" are only 13 minutes away as well as Seneca for multiple restaurant options. Clemson marina is a 10 minute drive from the house and offers rental pontoons and boats. It is a 20 minute boat ride back to the lake house.

Enjoy time together in the large, open-concept main floor or outside on the large upper covered deck, lower gazebo, fire pit, or dock. There is a 4 burner outdoor gas grill available for your use in the back yard.

Our house has 2 full kitchens stocked with everything you may need for a nice long getaway. The upper floor has a large bedroom with a wall of windows offering a beautiful view of the lake with a king bed, couch, and the two additional twin mattresses that are stored in the full length closet that you can pull out to use. Across the hall past a dual sink, full bath, is a king bedroom and a bedroom with two twin beds. On the main floor is a large master suite with a king bed and private full bath, and large walk in closet. The lower level has a full apartment with a separate entrance a master king suite, a private full bath, a large walk in closet, a living room with pull-out queen sofa, kitchen, dining area, and work desk. Additionally on the lower level, there is a private separate king bedroom that walks out to the lower patio and backyard, with a 1/2 bath.

A child high chair, port-a-crib, and youth mattress are also provided to accommodate younger children. There are ceiling fans in all the bedrooms. High efficiency HVAC units keep comfortable heating and cooling temperatures with thermostats to adjust on all 3 floors.

Enjoy our newly redone home for a great family week this spring and summer or a weekend this fall. Football weekends are in demand, so book them early. Lake Hartwell water temperatures remain nice for swimming off the dock or kayaking in the cove all through October. Many other outdoor activities are available on day trips in the Sumter National Forest and in the nearby North Carolina mountains and National Forests. Two kayaks and a paddle board are available for your use, as well as life vests (9 adult, 3 youth, 2 child, 1 water wing (30-50#).

A nice gentle path with steps and safety railing access the quiet private dock where you can swim, launch the kayaks, secure your boat, or just spend time relaxing on the spacious deep-water dock. Just past our walkway sign on the path you enter Core of Engineer lands which surround all of Lake Hartwell and provide a private, secluded access area for your use. Summer water levels are 11-12' depth on the lake end of our dock.

Come and enjoy your stay at our family home on Lake Hartwell!

Great stay at Lake Hartwell!

Lots of room for the whole family or multiple families! Short, easy walk to the lake and this location is practically on a sand bar so you stand or swim; your choice! House has everything you need and plenty of bathrooms. Not too far from Clemson but not right downtown so plan accordingly for food and restaurants.

Great Place to Reconnect with Family

We had a great time enjoying the private dock, kayaks, and stand up paddle board. The house had ample space to hang out, including a great deck off the back of the house. The firepit was a nice place to enjoy each other’s company in the evening. We felt very fortunate to find this property to suit our large family.

Great stay, despite weather challenges

The property was exactly what we wanted. Clean, comfortable, functional, and lots of privacy to relax and enjoy a weekend without neighbors on top of you. Hurricane Helene came through while we were there, but the house held up great and the casement windows throughout let us regulate the temperature. It took a minute, but we found the emergency candles and were able to enjoy the evenings and grill out for food. Would 10 of 10 stay there again.

Overall Great Stay

The listing says there is a hot tub, no hot tub on property. We were a bit disappointed. Other than the lack of hot tub everything was great. Well stocked, clean, and spacious. Our little group had a wonderful time visiting with family and relaxing here. There was even a Christmas tree set up, we took some family photos around it.

Great lake access for multiple family vacation.

Three families (6 adults, 7 kids ages 2-12) stayed for a summer week here and had a blast. Spent most of our time during the day at the dock or on the water. Perfect, quiet cove is 5 minutes by car or boat to Friendship Boat Ramp if you have a boat. Dock is nice with covered boat slip. We also used their kayaks and SUP all day every day. Yes, it's a steep walk up from the lake to the house, but that's true of most Hartwell houses, and the beautiful Foothills are a big part of the beauty of the lake. Great waterfalls and hiking within an hour away. Lots of recreation areas on the lake as well if you don't have a boat. House is great for families. Main floor has nice master and master bath along with main living area and kitchen. We spent most of our time here. Upstairs only has one bathroom for the three bedrooms and is a little dated, but there is a lot of space up there and is very comfortable. Bottom floor is it's own apartment with small kitchen, master bedroom and bath along with 2 smaller living areas with pull out couches and the 1/2 bath. Easy parking for at least 4 cars, and there was even a place for us to keep our boat trailer out of the way. Lots of other great things - the listing very accurately describes the house and what to expect. Owners were very easy to reach and very responsive to our requests.
