Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Hartwell

The views were beautiful! Pictures don’t do it justice! The location was remote and peaceful, exactly what my husband and I needed! Highly recommend if you want to get away from the hustle bustle of life.

absolutely beautiful views - sunset was breathtaking and we had a lovely stay - so peaceful and relaxing

Great location, close to a lot what the area has to offer.

This place was so peaceful and relaxing. We stayed on the dock or around the fire pit. Mornings were spent drinking coffee on the deck with the gorgeous lake views. Never even turned the TV on. The house was clean and well stocked. There’s lots to do in the area as well. Definitely will be back.

Was slightly concerned by a long rental agreement that had to be signed prior to arrival. However the cabin was nice and clean, and easy to get into. Beautiful views of the lake from the porch and hot tub. Enough cookware to make basic meals. The property is a long ways from town so come prepared with what you need to save multiple shopping trips. It was just what we were looking for, would stay again.

Stunning setting overlooking a beautiful lake; just minutes from town. Very private setting. Loved the history of the cabin- so authentic to the area.

Larry was incredibly responsive and helpful. Generous host and the perfect spot for a cousins' get together!

This is a great place to stay. We had a full house and cooked a lot. The kitchen is huge and very well equipped for making meals there. There were spices and lots of pots and pans. The beds were comfortable, and the linens were clean and not worn. We never ran out of hot water. The hot tub and fireplaces were an added bonus. Stephen always replied in a timely manner the few times I had a question. The listing says the driveway is steep. It's spot on. Everyone had a great time, and we enjoyed our stay!!!

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.

Jen’s Hideaway is the perfect private spot to come back to after visiting Central and Clemson. It is extremely clean and well appointed. The bed is very comfortable. Jen is a friendly host. She even baked us delicious blueberry muffins.

The cabin was perfect for our family to get away from the business of life. It was super close to Tallulah State Park, which was beautiful, and restaurants in Clayton. We loved having a fire each night as well.

Beautiful home away from home. The space is very modern and comfortable. Easily one of the best Airbnb properties that I have been to.

We were in town for a baseball tournament at Fluor Field. Matthew's place was an easy walk to/from the field. It is a cute, vintage apartment and Matthew's description is very accurate. We used the noise machine and didn't have any issue sleeping. We had everything we needed for our stay.

Wonderful time in this home, tons of space and close to everything downtown. Lovely location with a peaceful dock to sit out for coffee. Home was comfortable and everything was as described. Thanks again!

Beautiful place and extremely clean and had everything we needed. Right at the end of the strip to be able to walk to everything on Main St. Loved our stay.

We had a fantastic stay at the cabin last week. We especially loved the back porch- picnic table for outdoor meals and the big swing was awesome! We walked from the cabin to the start of the Cliffside Lake Trail- what a great location!

If you want peace and quiet, this is the place to come to in the north Georgia mountains of Sky Valley. Beautiful views especially at sunset, hearing the chapel bells ringing, watching the humming birds fly around during the day and at night the bats, and friendly neighbors. The unit was roomy and comfortable. There were a few light bulbs burned out upon arrival and our host was very responsive and a maintenance gentleman was there soon to replace them. Lots of local activities and great restaurants in nearby Highlands and Franklin, NC and Clayton, GA. For walkers the Sky Valley golf course closes at 7 p.m. and it's great walking or jogging around the beautiful course.

Gorgeous mountain retreat is a perfect way to describe this property. I found everything in the description of this property to be true. In my opinion Karla’s description was very humble and we found the property to be much better than expected. Entire family celebrated my father’s 90th birthday, and found the house plenty spacious for all of us. With full living space on the main level and downstairs we never felt crowded.The house was immaculate and very well stocked with items that were above and beyond any other property I’ve ever stayed in right down to the firewood. Directions were easy to follow and communication was always done in a timely fashion. If you want to relax, do nothing, enjoy the views this is the place for you. If you want to be active, go hiking, play golf, tennis, etc. this is the place for you. If you want to grill out and watch football with the gang, this place is for you. So if you have a large group, and you are looking for a mountain getaway, I recommend that you stop looking and book this property NOW!!

Our family enjoyed our time at Leslie’s place. Perfect location for our family trip for Clemson graduation. We had enough space and the ground floor made it perfect for the older folks. Strongly recommend staying here if visiting Clemson for any reason. If you have a specific bed requirement, you should note both the mattress and pillows were very soft. As someone who prefers a sturdier pillow and firmer mattress, I did end up using a different pillow my daughter brought us from her apartment. Outside of that I can’t say enough good things about our experience. Would 100% stay here again. Leslie is lovely.

We had a wonderful stay and felt right at home. Our host even stocked the fridge with breakfast foods for us!

Wow! What an awesome home! Natalie was so accommodating and quick to respond! When we arrived, we were surprised at how much bigger the house was in person! The kitchen and amazing screened in porch is where we spent the majority of our time! The beautiful Lake Jocassee Is only about 40 mins away and definitely worth the drive! Thank you so much Natalie!!! We hope to be back for another friendcation next year!!!

Our family of 5 couples and 2 small children loved our stay at Sunsets and Siestas. The home has lots of space, the family suite was a big hit, the master suite is beautiful and spacious, the kitchen very well appointed and the decks, patios are excellent. We used the boat slip including the lift as well as the kayaks and paddleboards. The home had everything we needed and then some. We would definitely return.

OMG I can not express enough the peacefulness and how wonderful this place is . Mrs. Ruth and Mr. Bob are so sweet . It was exactly what I was looking for. Sitting out on the screened porch with coffee in the morning you can hear the birds it was wonderful. The rental was very well kept and very clean . I will definitely want and will be going back. Thank you Mrs. Ruth & Mr. Bob for a wonderful time.

Our friends that live down the street from this place were having a birthday get together. We stayed here for Memorial Day weekend and it was amazing! Very quiet and beautiful place. Wish we would have had more time to be able to use the pool. Will definitely be back when we come to visit the area.
