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.

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!

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.

Beautiful home and host was very responsive. Would recommend staying here if you want a nice get away. About 40 minutes from Clemson University, a little too far for us.

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!

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!

This was honestly the most relaxing stay we’ve had in a very long time. Everything was very easily accessible. The stay is great and the water was absolutely perfect. We used the paddle board and the water mat and had a great time on the lake. Highly recommended just don’t forget bug spray!

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.

We celebrated a friend’s birthday here over the weekend and we could not be more impressed with our stay! The house was beautiful and exactly as described in the listing. We are already planning a weeklong stay because we loved it so much! The host communicated and responded to our questions quickly!

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.

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

The Mirror Haus is a stunning place, both inside and outside. It's so private and peaceful. The Mirror Haus is a beautiful place, both inside and outside. Cody and Laura were exceptionally responsive, quickly assisting us with our questions. My husband and I enjoy our short getaway.

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!

This was the ULTIMATE water sport place to be. I have 3 boys that tore it up like crazy. It felt like every water sport thing you could ever want was there. And the location was phenomenal. My only slight critique is clutter, but I am a minimalist. Highly recommend.

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!

Super easy to get in and out and worked out well over thanksgiving. They have great lake access so we need to return in summer!

Wow. We will be coming back. We booked this last minute as another Airbnb fell through. I was able to book around 6pm and was able to check in within minutes. The host was so friendly and the house was just perfect. So beautiful! We will be back ❤️❤️❤️ beds comfortable, we saw deer every morning and night outside - so peaceful!!

We had a downright delightful time at Jean‘s place. We especially loved sittin’ out on the boat dock, just gazin’ at the water of Lake Hartwell or watchin’ the deer nibblin’ on the grass in the mornin’ and evenin’ hours. Wilma Jean‘s house has everythin’ you could need. Jean herself is just the sweetest, and it was a real joy to spend time with her. We’ll surely be back for more!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Stay! Our stay at Carla’s guest house was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. Carla is one of the friendliest and most thoughtful hosts we’ve ever met—so laid-back, incredibly helpful, and always responsive if we needed anything. The guest house itself was spotless—immaculately clean, beautifully maintained, and super comfortable. The bed and furniture were so cozy, it felt like a true home away from home. We were blown away by the attention to detail and the overall comfort of the space. The backyard was like a little slice of paradise! The pool was perfect for relaxing, and the surrounding scenery made it even better. And to top it all off, Carla left a freshly made cake for us to enjoy when we arrived—a small gesture that made a big impression and really showed how much she cares about her guests. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Carla and her beautiful place
