Wonderful, relaxing stay

We had a wonderful stay at Pat & Mary's lake home, such a peaceful & relaxing place! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained and the home was very clean and had everything (and more) that we needed to fix meals at home. The dock was amazing, we had a great time floating in the lake and relaxing and enjoying the tranquility from the upper level of the dock. Pat & Mary are very friendly, wonderful people and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property with us!

Fun on the Lake

We enjoyed the Master’s lake house. Pat and Mary are great hosts. I stayed with my wife and 3 grandkids (10,8,6). The kids loved the fishing and boating (we were able to rent the Master’s pontoon). We definitely plan on returning. My wife enjoyed her birthday weekend. We will definitely rent again.

Wonderful, well thought out property.

What a pleasant stay we had. Nice, secluded property on lake hartwell with a dock, spacious home which was very clean, nicely appointed and well maintained. A bonus for us is that the property owners also had a home next door. Pat and Mary were wonderful hosts, very nice people and for anyone concerned about the property owners also living on the property, they respected your privacy.. I really enjoyed meeting and chatting with them. I definately recommend this property.

Great stay

We loved our stay on Lake Hartwell! Our favorite part was the dock on the lake. It is convenient enough to other areas (within an hour) that had a lot of adventures. We took a few day trips to Mountains Rest for some great waterfall hikes and also to Tallulah Gorge and enjoyed some time on the lake in the afternoon and between adventures. The house is on a quiet cove of the lake. We enjoyed floating in the lake and sitting on the dock morning and night. A great place to relax. The house is very clean and well maintained. Pat and Mary are lovely hosts.

Lake Front home on Lake Hartwell

As a fairly independent disabled guest who rented the place on my birthday to do some fishing, my stay at this lake front home was tons of fun! Wheelchair accessibility on the property was very good. I had no major issues getting around in the house. The doors were wide enough for my chair and I was able to access all rooms. There’s a cemented pathway that leads to the dock and is fairly accessible if you have someone to help because it is quite steep. Pat and Mary were very welcoming and the communication was great. They allowed us to take non-motorized toys for the lake and we took the canoe for a very relaxing and fun morning fishing outing. We’ve caught fish! Highly recommended for disabled guests!

August 25-27, 2022 Trip

Absolutely AMAZING!!! The property is very well kept and deserves to be on the cover of Better Homes and Garden and/or Good Housekeeping. Upon entering the home, there was no question as to whether we would enjoy our visit. We are from the Laurens, SC area. Let me tell you there is no need to look anywhere else for a place to fish from the dock or gaze upon the beautiful star-filled sky. The location was perfect as there were no other distractions to consider. We had access to the pedal boats but couldn't stop fishing long enough to use them!! Even after having our rod and reel snatched from the dock by a catfish, we not only caught a big mouth catfish but retrieved the rod and reel the next day. Who does that?!! We will not only return for a repeat (minus the snatched rod and reel) but will bring friends and recommend to others just to meet OUR new-found friends, Pat and Mary!
