Hartwell lake deep water home, family friendly and close to Clemson and UGA

This spacious home is located on beautiful Lake Hartwell in Lavonia, GA. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat with fun in the sun this is the place for you. It is on Gumlog Creek just above the Tugaloo River main channel with deep water and open space for boating and skiing. Gather the gang and enjoy swimming, boating, tubing, skiing, and chilling on the dock. Perfect place for getting away from it all and making memories with your family and friends.
This home comes complete with a 2 slip boat dock and a large swim platform. Bring your boat or rent one and chill in the sun of this spacious dock. There’s a paved pathway from the home to the dock and plenty of room to park several cars plus ample space for a boat trailer.
The three story home features floor to ceiling windows in the living and dining areas overlooking the lake. The spacious family area has plenty of room for the family to gather complete with a 52" flat screen TV. Off the living area is a deck where you can rock your troubles away. The inside dining area has a large 8 person table with a great view of the lake and an additional 6 person table for the kids or kids at heart. The kitchen is fully equipped with a 5 burner stove and double ovens for the person who loves to cook. There’s also a outdoor flat propane grill and a charcoal grill for all your grilling needs.
This spacious lake front home easily sleeps 16+ with the master bedroom located on the main floor with a king size bed and a 32" flat screen TV. The master bathroom has a double sink, jetted tub and separate shower. The additional 3 bedrooms are located upstairs. On the left you will find a bedroom with two full size beds and a private bath. On the right are two bedrooms, one has a queen size bed and the other has two full size beds. These two bedrooms share a bathroom. There are additional sleeping spaces in the basement with a twin bed, full bed and a full size futon. Our home is perfect for a large family or group. The fourth bathroom is located on the basement level which works great for the basement guests and lake traffic.
In addition, there's a ping pong table and air hockey table for your enjoyment. In the backyard there's a fire pit for chilly nights or making s’mores.
This home is in an excellent location being only 4 miles from Interstate 85 and approximately 3 miles from Tugaloo State Park. Our home is approxmately 1/2 mile from Franklin County Boat Ramp and 1 mile from Harbor Light Marina for fueling boats. The marina also has boat and jet ski rentals.

Perfect location for UGA (50 min) and Clemson (30 min) football games.

Full sized washer and dryer with all the laundry essentials. We have a pack-n-play and highchair for the little ones available upon request.

Perfect Stay

I can't say enough good about this property! It was beautiful, homey, clean, and perfectly located. We had a full house, and they had everything we needed! (Even a pack and play and a high chair!). The hosts were kind and receptive and everything went great! Book here! You won't regret it!

Our stay was wonderful and the house was perfect. It was comfortable for all 16 of us and had the best stocked kitchen we've ever enjoyed over years of renting properties and that was important to have the amenities we did with such a large group. Everyone enjoyed a little something...swimming, fishing, playing games and getting ready for the wedding was perfect with 4 bathrooms. Our family came from Belize, Portugal and other areas in Canada and several times they commented how wonderful it was to stay together in the house instead of being in separate accomodations. Thank you Eddie and Rhonda for sharing your home with us. It truly was a blessing as we made memories together.

4th of July week at the lake

I am so pleased with everything about our stay. Communication with the owners was great from the start. We had a large group, with over half of them young children, and found every part of the home extremely accommodating from the play areas to the boat dock and the location on the lake, everthing was perfect. Thank you so much and I hope to stay again.

Very nice lake front home. We had a fantastic time

Very large and clean lake front home that we used for a weekend college graduation celebration for our daughter. The home was perfect for what we needed. The owners were prompt to respond before and during stay. We needed a later check out time, and the owners graciously accommodated. I would definitely recommend this property.
