Lake Hartwell fishing places to stay

We stayed here over Memorial Day weekend and absolutely loved it! The house was a cozy lakeside retreat—perfect for a relaxing mini getaway. The decor was adorable, especially the wallpaper, which added a charming touch to the space. Everything was clean and well-maintained, making our stay super comfortable. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful weekend escape!

Beautiful, amazing and perfect for a getaway with friends or romantic stay. Architecturally stunning. Great example of mid-century modern with lots of cut outs, glass and details. Not for the mobile challenged (stairs and a bit of a walk from the car parking) and lots of glass (you give some privacy with other house mates) so if that is not your thing, I wouldn't recommend it. Very quiet except when you open the doors to the waterfall. First day, some water cascading over but after a rain it was all white and mesmerizing. Beds are small but very comfortable. I was able to cook some great meals and they had a lot of items you don't always have, like aluminum foil. Took the hosts recommendation for a vineyard (distillery was the highlight) and a stop in Toccoa, GA. Just book it and enjoy.

What a lovely home with incredible access to Lake Hartwell! The views from the dock are beautiful, and the house itself is decorated in a minimalistic and cozy way. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the basics for cooking at home! The neighborhood is peaceful and, while the gravel may not be ideal walking for some, is easily walkable.

we had a great time on lake Hartwell. everything about the house met or exceeded our expectations. Will come again for sure.

Home was better than expected, absolutely beautiful. Great location, steep walk to the dock but typical for this area. Home had all the extras. Lori was helpful and provided an air pump for our tube.

Everything was as described. We did not realize that getting to the dock was a bit hard for us seniors. the fishing was great but my wife could not walk to the dock because of the steep grade and no stairs to the water level. The house was kept very nice but could use some safety handles in bathrooms for those of us a little older. Thanks for a great time. Jim and Alice

Perfect home for a family or group. Very spacious and clean, fully stocked kitchen we cooked dinner every night! The dock was perfect for tanning and swimming, our daughters also loved the kayaks and paddle board. Very peaceful location. We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a lake trip! Thank you Brian for sharing your happy place with our family!

We absolutely enjoyed staying at The Budding Bungalow. It was so nice having access to the dock to put our boat in. The view was spectacular for sunrises & the calm evening sunsets were beautiful. We will definitely stay here again.

nice setting in the woods - great view of the lake from the inside den area and back porch. very quiet and peaceful - just what we were looking for!

Breathtaking property! Immaculately clean with every amenity you need. Monica was a wonderful host and very thoughtful in leaving gift bags and checking on me. It is a true gem and I will be back!

Great Lake house! Fantastic dock! Comfortable home for families, different age groups and doggies. Hosts were amazing. Quick response times. Ability to rent a pontoon made it even better! Will definitely stay again! Thanks to Tina, Mark & Kathy!

Such a beautiful home and place. We enjoyed the stay! The pool was by far our favorite just wish we had better weather to enjoy it further. Great customer service. We accidentally set the fire alarm off one night and she didn’t hesitate to message to make sure everything was okay.

Three generations and our dog had a great stay at Portman’s Paradise. It was perfect for our group size. The accommodations were exactly as shown in the photos and the home was clean and spacious. The loft room was a great additional space to relax. The view was beautiful. When the power went out in the neighborhood, the host was quick to reach out and let us know, keep us updated and was responsive to answer our questions.

Our host was so kind and for that I am so thankful! The home and property are beautiful. The kitchen is way better equipped than any other place I’ve stayed (at least 10 different ones) which is awesome if you love to cook like me and are there cooking a holiday feast! Y’all, no place will feel perfect because no other place is your own home but this place comes close. Ildi’s responsiveness and kindness are the icing on the cake. We had a simple and pleasant experience here at the lake house and that’s all that we prayed for.

Great place to stay for our family. We look forward to visiting again!

Great little place to stay on the lake. House was as pictured and had plenty of beds. Kitchen had pretty much what’s needed for basic meals, we cooked inside everyday. What I didn’t expect was how big the yard was, the kids had plenty of room and I wish I would’ve brought some yard toys. It’s a nice part of Lake Hartwell, the dock was a major bonus for the kids to jump from. Canoe and kayaks are a thoughtful bonus that aren’t always available for use with other rentals. The neighborhood is quiet and I felt comfortable taking a morning walk alone down the country roads. Host is very responsive and pleasant.

The place was beautiful. The view from the living room/ kitchen of the lake was awesome. The only con I would say was if you struggle with knee problems the walk to and from the lake/dock was rough as it's a climb getting back to the house. My 65 year old father struggled with that, but overall, it was a fantastic place.

Awesome downstairs part of cozy home with everything needed. Quiet and private feeling right on the lake, and near town. I hope to stay again there on future work assignments.

The stay at Beth’s place was amazing! They had anything you could need already there. We enjoyed the dock, floating raft and tubes that they put in the lake for us were a great touch. Our kids swam despite the cold temperatures. We would definitely stay again!

Elisabeth’s description of the property was very accurate. I made sure to read all the info provided before and after booking. It was a perfect, peaceful , and cozy stay. My husband and I, our daughter, and two dogs were welcomed and comfortable. Kitchen was clean and well supplied as was every other space. Any questions were answered promptly and efficiently. I had never been in an inflatable hot tub before but all three of us are sold and wanting to get one for home now. Very nice and just what we were needing. Thank you!!!!

We had a great time! Brannon was very responsive and replied within a reasonable time. We enjoyed every bit of it especially the nature. We will definitely come back and will recommend to family and friends. Thank you again for the experience!

Stayed at Angela’s little cozy hideaway and it was perfect! Husband and I spent the days at the lake using Friendship Boat Ramp which was just a hop down the road. Her place was absolutely spotless, decorated nicely, smelled lovely, and was perfect for our escape. We had breakfast at the Farm Cafe about 10 minutes away which had great meals. Could not ask for anything better during this trip. We look forward to our next visit!

This was an absolutely wonderful vacation for us. Probably one of the best Air B&B we’ve stayed at! Mimi is thoughtful and accommodating to her guests! We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and she was nice enough to surprise us with a birthday card! Hot tub was wonderful, the place was clean and we loved the fact that it had a washer/dryer and a dishwasher. We fished the lake all weekend, had a blast! We will return in the future!

We loved Christy’s lake house. The pictures do the place justice. The view of the lake is fantastic; and the sunsets were great! We used the fire pit on the patio three nights as the sun went down. Very peaceful. The home was roomy, clean, and the screen porch and the deck with the awning were comfortable and had great views of the lake. Very quiet at night. Beds were comfortable, towels were soft. We used the Kayaks at the dock. They’re stable. Paddles and swim mattresses were in the attached garage. Lot’s of stuff to do in the area. Sadlers Creek State Park, Big Water Marina, close to Anderson, and a little over an hour to Helen, GA. A great place to stay. Bring your boat. There’s a covered boat slip to park it at the dock. You wont’ be disappointed.
