Cabin is a gem in the woods! This home is so comfy, the sofa is dreamy, and the back porch is just lovely for additional lounging. My pets and college age children enjoyed a great fall break fishing, visiting on the dock, attending the Sasquatch Festival in Westminster and a hike at Chau Rim. Jack was the perfect host, and the stars could be seen for miles. All-round one of the best vacation homes and stays we've ever had.

Great Family Vacation!!

My family stayed here and we had a wonderful time! The cabin is cozy, well stocked, and a great location! It is full of wonderful amenities: screened in porch, games for kids, paddleboard and upscale lounge chairs on the dock, etc. The house was a great lake location, very quiet and peaceful. We had an awesome time and are grateful for memories made.

Nice comfortable Cabin. Excellent location. Communication with Host wasn't immediate, responded next day to my request that there were no paper towels or napkins in House. Also I had to deal with a stopped up toilet in the Main Bathroom which was no fun. Host offered to reimburse me for Paper towels, etc... But I would stay there again!

This home is beautiful - and the owners clearly take pride in this special place. Down to the smallest detail, the home is beautiful. The back porch is a perfect spot to relax and the dock is large with a beautiful view. The sunset pictures we took here were stunning.

Loved the house.

This was exactly as listed. The home was big enough for both family that stayed.’there are a lot of steps to the dock but kids didn’t mind. We didn’t have a boat with us so we didn’t get to experience the full lake. We did find a book in the kitchen that listed close parks to visit, thanks for that, we found a beautiful state park with a river that all kids could swim in. Loved the porch swing. Really enjoyed our stay.

Great home!

We very much enjoyed staying at this home. I will say that the photos of the listing do not do it justice and should be updated. We almost did not book the house because my wife said that the photos made it look scary and old. But the home was anything but that. It was beautiful. Like all other reviews said, the steps down to the water will just about take you out. It was EXHAUSTING to say the least. But it was beautiful if you are brave enough to make the journey down. The back porch is worth the price of admission. We spent a LOT of our time out on the porch swinging and enjoying our time.

This property was just perfect! From the back porch swing to the kitchen to the lake!!!

We made life long memories here. Simply put, the house was perfect and well supplied! The back porch swing was a family favorite. Fishing from the dock and swimming our days away was just a perfect way to spend the days. My only consideration for this house is if you have difficulty with stairs it would be hard to get back and forth to the lake. But the house was just beautiful! The dock was perfect! Can’t recommend this one enough!!

Long weekend summer getaway

We only live about an hour away and wanted a long weekend for 6 adults. The house was very clean, has a beautiful screened porch and deck on the back as well as a very nice dock on deep water on lake Hartwell. We had a wonderful time. There was plenty of room for 6 of us and there were actually a few more places to sleep so several more people could and gone with us. The kitchen had more than enough pots pans plates cups small appliances, even three different coffee makers. Thank you for sharing your lake home!

Great Covid getaway

Beautiful house; clean, roomy and has everything you need. Lots of areas and chairs to sit in and relax. The screened in porch overlooking the lake is wonderful. Beds are comfortable and linens are quality. It is a great location. The two refrigerators were much appreciated as we brought food and drinks for 6 people and a baby for 6 days. We never left the house. Only challenge is 100 steps down the hill to the dock, but it was worth it. Thanks to Jack for promptly answering all my questions and sharing your wonderful place with us.

Great Lakehouse Getaway

Our New Year's rental was cancelled last minute and we were desperately searching for a place the night before and luckily found the Lakehouse. The house looks even better in person, so spacious and welcoming. We had everything we needed and more for our family getaway including all the kitchen essentials. It felt like a home away from home. It was a chilly muggy weekend so we were disappointed to learn the fireplace was not available due to a previous renter. That would be the only complaint, our stay was lovely and communication was great. I would highly recommend the Lakehouse!

The house was great. Exactly as described. Stairs were exactly as reported. Doable. Nice dock. Could use more cabinet space for our supplies. Don’t like to use other folks things. Cleaned out dressers would be a plus. Felt like I was sharing space with the owner without the owner being there. LOVE the back porch. Could live there. You have a lovely home. Thanks for sharing.

Lake Trip

For the most I really enjoyed the house and the lake. The house was nice, comfortable, and clean. However some of the lights in the house didn’t work. Also some of the light switches seemed complicated. If multiple switches controlled the some lights it almost seemed like you had to have them in a certain order to use the switch. But overall the house was enjoyable.

Well stocked home with a great porch!

We loved sitting on the porch and the fabulous dock in the evenings! The house was very well stocked with everything you may need (appliances, grill, charcoal, etc.). Jack was very generous and let us use the covered slip for our boat while there. For the negatives: The house had a pretty strong dog smell from previous renters. I can tell they’ve tried their best to clean up after incidents. We ended up buying Febreeze to try to mask the smell during our stay. I feel the number of steps (102!) down to the dock should be noted in the description.

Beautiful property

Overall property was absolutely beautiful. Only downside was our boats and the climb. You cannot drive a boat and trailer down to the cabin AT ALL, the driveway is incredibly steep. The dock is beautiful but there is 102 steps almost straight up to get to the cabin. The cabin was absolutely beautiful, just did not expect that steep of a driveway or stairs, it was mentioned in the description, but not to that extent. I do not want to take away from the beauty of the property, however. So if you are in shape, and you’re not bringing a boat, I highly recommend.
