Your own little holiday nook on Lake Hartwell. Adirondack chairs dressed for Christmas, twinkly touches, and that crisp winter air that makes everything feel slower and sweeter. Sip, snuggle, unwind — this deck becomes pure magic in fall and winter.
A table for four, bistro lights overhead, and that unmistakable ‘somewhere-in-Europe’ mood. Out here, even a simple meal feels like a getaway inside a getaway.
The location of this house is truly unbeatable. Many homes are a long drive from highways, grocery stores, gas stations, Clemson, and key attractions. This property, however, puts you right in the center of it all, offering unparalleled convenience.
Step onto the balcony and you’re wrapped in a whole tapestry of fall color — golden leaves, crisp air, and that peaceful rustle of the woods that feels like its own soundtrack. This is autumn at Lake Hartwell, and it’s quietly breathtaking.
Direct lake access is yours! Launch our kayaks or SUPs right from the cove and start enjoying the water. Kindly note, there is no dock available.
Sink into this living room and let the world fall away for a bit. Soft textures, calm colors, cozy lighting… it’s the kind of space where evenings stretch out and everyone finally exhales.
You'll love being conveniently located inside the Portman Marina neighborhood. The marina itself, along with its popular Galley and Nami restaurants, are just a couple of minutes' walk away. Who says you can't stroll when you're on the lake?
A simple Christmas tree, a cozy living room, and that soft holiday hush that makes everything feel warm and familiar. It’s the kind of space that invites you to slow down, curl up, and savor the season.
Make a splash with the whole family! Enjoy complimentary access to 2 adult kayaks, a kid-sized kayak for the little adventurer, and 2 paddle boards. We even provide carts to make transporting them a breeze. Create unforgettable memories on the water!
Where holiday mornings start with a blanket, a warm drink, and those Adirondack chairs waiting like old friends. Think quiet moments, a little sparkle of Christmas, and a deck that instantly feels like your own private retreat.
Because every great getaway deserves a little mixing magic. From holiday cookies to Sunday pancakes, our KitchenAid is ready for whatever delicious moment you’re dreaming up.
Relax in our inviting bedroom with a plush king-size bed, soft linens, and calming decor.
These were taken on a simple November walk to Portman Marina — just my phone, no filter, no edits. Lake Hartwell doesn’t need them… it’s naturally this beautiful.
