Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Stephens County

The lake house is even more beautiful than the pictures. The location is perfect. Peaceful and private but not too secluded. The house had every amenity needed. They’ve thought of everything. We enjoyed spending our days at the boat dock, and going to local hiking trails and waterfalls. Lake Hartwell is huge, this house is in one of the more shallow coves. Great for kayaking and paddle boarding. We fished a lot but didn’t catch anything from the dock or kayaks. We did a boat charter with a local fisherman and hit a ton of fish. As for the location, it’s less than 30 minutes to great restaurants, and less than 15 minutes to a grocery store, fast food, and pharmacy. We will definitely stay again!

Check in and check out were smooth - the communication was great! We were in town for a 10K so it was nice having the ability to wake up later and not have to drive 2+ hours. We had three dogs with us and one of them did not like the horses but the horses gave them no mind. We enjoyed our stay and will more than likely book again next year for the same race!

We all enjoyed our visit it was the perfect spot to visit our daughter who works at a summer camp nearby! We will definitely stay here again!

Easy transaction, great little place!

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.

Perfect spot for our somewhat last minute getaway. Secluded and quiet, but close to several towns if you want to have supper or listen to a little music. The water right off the dock is deep and swimmable, and the kayaks are great for an easy trip to the main channel of Lake Hartwell. The house itself is beautiful, and comfortable(an important combination). Very clean, with all the necessities that are often absent in vacation rentals(lake towels! coffee filters! salt!). We really loved this lake cabin, and can’t wait to go back.

The house was great! The views were amazing! Everything was as advertised. Definitely back in the woods but worth the drive. My daughter graduated from Clemson University and it was not that far of a drive and easy to get back and forth. Would definitely stay again if needed. I would recommend some shower bars for the walk in shower in the master bath. Just for safety. Other than that everything was great.

This Airbnb was one of the best we’ve stayed in over the years. The location was private and peaceful and the lake views were incredible. The kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens I’ve seen and had everything we needed. We cooked all meals there so needed a lot of different things and found them all. The lake was so nice and cool on our hot days. Kimberly was always very responsive and helpful with anything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and all of the living spaces were spacious enough for our group of six to spread out. We created wonderful memories on our four day stay. Thanks for everything!

I absolutely loved my holiday week at this cabin. There were so many places to read and relax and have a glass of wine in the evenings. And Absolutely gorgeous views. It was quiet and safe with a coded gate entry. I loved that it was away from any other cabins and offered the relaxation I was looking for! The cabin offered everything I needed and more in the space. Excellent host! Thank you so much for allowing me to enjoy your beautiful cabin!

I couldn't be more pleased with my first AirBnB stay. The place was clean, inviting, and well-stocked. I wasn't expecting spices, dog toys, dog bowls, dog cot, etc. The fully fenced in yard, lake access, available kayaks, and privacy are the only things I wanted and this place sure supplied! the hot tub, outdoor shower, and firepit were huge bonuses. Also, met and talked with the neighbor who is super friendly 😉 I stayed alone the first half with my dogs and got my peace in. The second half a couple girl friends joined and we thoroughly enjoyed paddling out the this little island and throwing rocks, trying to fish, etc. Enjoying using the coloring supplies, games, and grill as well! It did storm most of the week, but even that was enjoyable! 10/10 experience for us all.

Just a great time Honestly! Place was fun and perfect for my brother’s fishing and kayaking getaway trip. Just the right size and the best recommendations for everything. Great host, great home, and great location! Couldn’t have been more perfect. P.S. The shower pressure and temperature was like luxury at the end of a day at the lake. Highly recommend

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Teresa and Michael’s beautiful home for a weekend wedding at a nearby vineyard, and everything about our stay exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth by Teresa, Michael, and their adorable dog Jack! Their home is spacious, spotless, and full of charm. Every little detail has been thoughtfully considered, and we had everything we needed to feel completely at home. One of the highlights was the generous gift of fresh, free-range eggs from their hens — such a lovely touch! After the whirlwind of the wedding, we were so grateful to be able to unwind by their stunning pool area, especially since they kindly let us stay past checkout time (as no other guests were arriving that day). It was exactly the kind of peaceful, restorative moment we needed with our loved ones. Thank you, Teresa and Michael, for your hospitality, kindness and for making this weekend extra special for our entire family!

This farmhouse vacation was the best our family has experienced so far. We have stayed at over 15 rentals via this platform and others but by far this was the best. If Amy could have controlled the weather, then the trip would have been unbelievable. The house has everything a person needs to stay comfortably. The location is peaceful. The animals come up to the fence each morning and night and allow you to pet them. One horse wants all the attention....lol. The donkeys allow you to give them love too. The house had a full kitchen, a bar area, large living room and 4 beautiful and well-furnished bedrooms. The pool was nice but only used 3 days since we had rain most days. If a person has a small group of 10ish people, this is the perfect house for you. The small neighboring towns have things to see and do. So many waterfalls in the area. You definitely won't be disappointed if you choose to go to Seneca and stay at this house. Amy, thank you for sharing your home!

Loads of character, bright and cheery. Host was super friendly and stocked the place with snacks and drinks. Very clean with plenty of towels and linens. Love all the farm animals. Great place to bring your dog with plenty space to roam.

we had a great time and the place was beautiful. we would definitely stay again!

Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Loved spending mornings on porch with coffee and the birds. We enjoyed dinners at the club and lunches at the bistro onsite too.

Check in and check out were smooth - the communication was great! We were in town for a 10K so it was nice having the ability to wake up later and not have to drive 2+ hours. We had three dogs with us and one of them did not like the horses but the horses gave them no mind. We enjoyed our stay and will more than likely book again next year for the same race!

Cyd’s cottage is one of those places that you just NEED to book. It’s truly beautiful- the pictures do not do it justice, nor do my words. I felt such peace while my family and I were there. The sunrises and sunsets were *so wonderful*. The birdwatching was a highlight for me. The cottage is decorated with exceptionally beautiful antiques in each room- I could go on and on about this place. I’m truly grateful for the visit my family and I had at Cyd’s cottage.

We had a wonderful stay at this Barn Loft. The design of the space is perfect and so very cozy! The mini-split a/c kept us cool and the bed was really comfortable! Having a well-stocked kitchen was great so we didn't have to go out for meals. We loved getting to bring our young dog along- our cattle dog got to meet her 1st cattle! LOL. Highly recommend this space to others.

I loved the house and the location. It's perfect for spending quality time with family or friends, without the stress of the city. I hope to return soon.

michael was great! met us there to show us the property. made sure we had everything we needed. gave us incredible recommendations for hikes and some of the falls. great communication. all over an amazing experience!

Wonderful host. We actually booked a stay on our return trip. I can’t wait to come back!

Michael was a great host. We can’t wait to go back and stay longer. The place was wonderful and very clean. Michael and Amanda were both wonderful. We are so thankful we found “The Nutty shack”. Thank you guys for everything and being there for all of our questions early in the morning and late at night. Already planning our next trip.

The house was great! The views were amazing! Everything was as advertised. Definitely back in the woods but worth the drive. My daughter graduated from Clemson University and it was not that far of a drive and easy to get back and forth. Would definitely stay again if needed.
