Lake Hartwell Waterfront, Dock, Clemson, Fire Pit, Fenced Yard, Pets & Game Room

This home is the perfect spot for family vacations, Clemson events/ football weekends, fishing tournaments, or a tranquil "getaway." We are ideally located only 13 miles from Clemson University, 2.5 miles from Portman Marina and Galley Waterfront Restaurant, and 5 miles from GreenPond Landing and Event Center (Home of the Bassmaster Pro Fishing Tournament).
Upon entering the home from the covered rocking chair front porch, you will notice its high pine ceilings and cozy cabin feeling, hosting a spacious and comfy living room and kitchen.

Anglers love this property! We offer plenty of room for boat and/or trailer parking, Green Pond Landing is only 5 miles from the home, and there are 2 excellent Bait and Tackle shops right around the corner. We have hosted anglers from the Bassmasters, Junior Bassmasters, and many other tournaments.
There is a 2 car carport and private drive as you enter this beautiful wooded lot. We have plenty of room for parking your vehicles and boat. A security camera is placed on the front porch for additional security while the home is vacant and during turnover; however, we do not keep it on while you occupy the home. The lake level fluctuates on Lake Hartwell and traditionally has lower levels from September into the Fall months. However, the water level replenishes from January - July, and there is plenty of water at the dock for boat access and enjoyment of all the water amenities and activities we provide at the property.
This home is the perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle, relax, and enjoy what matters the most, the family and/or friends around you!

Great place for a family getaway!

We had a great weekend staying here! The entire house was clean, well stocked, and comfortable. We appreciated firewood being on site to use at the fire pit as well as the games, puzzles, and equipment to use the dock. The owner was quick to respond and answer any questions we had. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Great family trip

We went on vacation to this beautiful home with 11 people. It was a great location, well equipped and completely fit our needs. There were a few things we wished it had had in the kitchen (more storage bowls and a better can opener) but overall loved the property. Ashley was great to work with and answered all my questions. We would totally go back!

Super clean, perfect property for dogs

This was the best lake house! It was very clean and the house was spacious with lots of outdoor living space. Fully fenced-in, large yard was great for dogs and kids. Steep, somewhat treacherous walk down to the lake, but nice location on a quiet inlet. Perfect for paddle boarding. Owner was very responsive and friendly. Highly recommend this place!

Wonderful Experience

Most relaxing property and lots of things to entertain the children. High fence to discourage children from lake waters but still a very nice view. I expect it would be amazing had we been able to light the fire pit but unfortunately we didn’t have the time because of family obligations. Thank you to the owners for sharing your home with us!

Great Log Cabin Home!

Our group of ten had a great time at this vacation home. The lake was low so we never went down to the dock. We were there for an outdoor concert, and it was a short drive into town. I wouldn't recommend the lower-level sofa bed for older adults but it's probably fine for kids and younger folks. We enjoyed the outdoor deck, corn hole and our entire stay. The home was really clean with plenty of fluffy towels, TP, etc. It looked very pet friendly with an outdoor ramp that went into the fenced-in back yard. Great time overall!

Home Away from Home

Lovely setting nestled in the landscape away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to everything you have need of. This charming cabin had all the touches of home and was well stocked. Plenty of pillows, linens and fully stocked kitchen. We hosted several people for an evening of fun, seating wasn't a problem. Plenty of parking. It rained or we would have taken advantage of many beautiful photo opportunities outdoors. The deer greeting us in the morning was a special treat. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy such a gem while staying near Anderson.

Extended Stay at Tigertown Lake Escape

We made an extended stay in July while we visited our Clemson daughter. The property met all of our expectations and was the perfect home away from home. But with lake access, kayaks, firepit, 1+ acre, a fantastic deck with nice views for morning coffee and dinners outside, and a great place for our dog. So it's not exactly like home, which is just the point :) There was plenty of space for visits from family in Atlanta and Virginia to come see us and join in the fun for a few days. The owners work hard to make sure their guests have an enjoyable stay and our very attentive. We had no issues and only fun!

Wonderful home!

We loved our stay here, and the hosts were very communicative and helpful. The home was comfortable and had plenty of space for a multi-family vacation. We loved that the yard was fenced in but plenty spacious for kids to run and play. The only downside was the lake was more of a mud pit, because the lake levels were so low. It wasn’t possible to rent a boat to dock there, or to swim. The kayaks available were great though, and allowed for kayaking to deeper parts of the lake to swim. Even with the lake low, the host communicated this in advance, were very accommodating and flexible, and had plenty of things for us to do with the kids (including s’mores and a slip and slide). We loved our long weekend away here!

70th Birthday

We surprised my mom with a 70th birthday lake weekend! The house quite comfortably house my parents and our family of 4, including a 14 and 17 year old. We all had plenty of space. Everything in the home was very clean and the upgraded bathrooms were nice. We also took two small dogs, and the fenced in property was great. The very large deck was great to grill out, eat outside, and play cornhole. The only issues we had were the walk to the lake was very steep, and my dad has knee issues, which made it a bit difficult for him to comfortably go up and down the hill. Also, this time of year, that area of the lake is exremely shallow. It was probably about 2-3 feet deep at the dock, which made it tricky to get in and out our pontoon, BUT my dad and husband put their heads together, and we did it! However, the shallow water was fine for paddle boating and kyaking. You were not able to swim at this dock. We also enjoyed roasting birthday smores in the fire pit. Overall, it is a beautiful and relaxing house. Perfect for a family get away!

Perfect lake vacation for the family and pet

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home. Very spacious, so many amenities, the beds were comfortable, we enjoyed all the outdoor seating options. We really liked having the extra space downstairs. The dock is private and roomy with adirondack chairs so you can enjoy reading a book by the water. The enormous fenced in yard was a great space for our dog to be able to safely run and explore. There is plenty of parking. The owners are kind and easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions. This home was perfect for our family of 7, ranging in age from 21 to 78, and for our pet. It’s a short and easy drive to Portman Marina where we launched our boat and jet ski. We enjoyed being able to boat up to pet-friendly El Arriero At The Shores to enjoy food, drinks and music. The Full Circle Cafe in Anderson is a great little pizza place that was perfect for carry-out our first night there. This was our first trip to Lake Hartwell and the Anderson, SC area. It was an alternative to our usual summer beach trip. We loved everything about the home and the location. We would definitely recommend this vacation rental to family and friends. We hope to be staying again in the future.

This house was fully stocked with everything and so many little things (towels for our fur babies dirty feet, water bowls & even sticks for roasting marshmallows). The bedrooms are large and room for everyone (inside and outside). The master bedroom on the lower level has a sliding glass door out to the yard which made it easy when taking dogs outside. The back yard is completely fenced in so we never worried about our grand babies and our fur babies playing. The play room on the lower level was a big hit with the kids. We brought our boat, the boat landing was within miles and the dock @ the house was great. There is a sidewalk down to the dock and even a cart to help carry items to the boat. The only issue we had was the walk back from the dock. It was very challenging and reminded most of us we need to work out more(lol). Over all we loved this house and all it had to offer.
