Our group of 7 women has spent a long weekend each summer ar a lake or beach for 12 years now, and this house is now one of our top 2 places to stay. Other than no soap or body wash in any of the 3 showers, a couple of mirrors that weren't clean, and trash being left in the kitchen wastecan, we were well impressed with the house from the start of our stay. We thought it fit our group very well, particularly the large table we could all eat around and play board games at, which is such a plus for our group! And even though only one of the 2 kitchens is well stocked, it was great to have a second refrigerator/freezer in the lower level, as well as thecright number of bathrooms and bedrooms for us. We loved that the trip down to the dock and lake were easy and fairly short, and the deck outside the main floor was also great! This is definitely a "no frills" place, and it doesn't claim to be otherwise, but it would have been nice to have a bedside table and a lamp in the secondary bedrooms, but we made do with booklights since there was only overhead lighting. The lake was down quite a bit due to.lack of rainfall this summer, but it was still a nice place to swim and sun and kayak, and that cove of the lake was quiet and not too encumbered by loud jetskis. The next door neighbors were also very nice and friendly! We would definitely like to rent this house again and would recommend it to other groups looking for a great place to stay at Lake Hartwell!
