This house was the perfect home and location for our family to stay for our wedding at The Beacon. Very well kept and clean house/property. Definitely recommend
We had a great stay! The property managers were very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Hartwell!
This property was perfect for our family! Everything we needed in the kitchen and just the amount of beds and bathrooms! Loved the use of the kayaks and the dock on the property! The host was quick to respond and easy to contact with.
Everything was was as advertised and more. We had a great time swimming, fishing, and relaxing! We created memories with the family that will last forever!!!
This lake house was perfect for our family vacation. It's on a quiet spot on lake Hartwell and is very close to the downtown area of Hartwell. Everyday was spent at the dock swimming and fishing. The house is very well stocked with kitchen appliances and bedding. The host was very responsive to my messages and gave detailed instructions on everything. We will definitely be back.
This place was great!
The Goff's were always attentive with any and all details. Five hundred and fifty mile one way drive was worth it.
Very comfortable home!
A good time was had by all!
Hope to stay at Paula's Place again!
The property was quiet and beautiful. Our children loved swimming and fishing off the dock. The swing on the dock was my personal favorite! House was wonderfully equipped and was the perfect size for vacation with extended family. The weather was a bit rainy so the screened in porch was perfect for enjoying the outside weather without getting drenched! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home.
Not often do the pictures and description match the actual property, but oh my goodness this one far exceeded any expectations!! Location,size, amenities and functionality.... i can't say enough good things to do it justice! Thank you so much for sharing your summer home with us!!!
This house allowed several generations of family to come together for a long weekend and really not leave the house. There were gathering spaces on the main floor and lower level, there was plenty of space outside for the littles to roam, and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils, dishware, and small appliances. Thank you for opening your home!
First of all, the communication with the owners was nothing short of easy and pleasant. The home is beautiful and roomy. Lots of great spaces to hang out and have different activities going on without feeling like everyone was on top of one another when we were all indoors. This was a perfect home to take my children and their friends for a graduation celebration. We look forward to going back again soon. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood and there is plenty of room to entertain and relax!
Gary was great! We had some changes and he was very accommodating even before we arrived. The house was everything the listing said it was. The kitchen was really well stocked for 8 of us to cook 3 meals a day. The fire pit was so nice, and the dock was perfect for my husbands boat! The game room had everything the kids needed to keep them entertained. We had a nice, relaxing New Years and would definitely stay here again!
We had such an amazing few days at this property. Our college girls were able to meet us for the long weekend. The location is close to town and Hartwell has such a cute downtown area. We kayaked a little, but just enjoyed being together and relaxing. We walked/ran miles and miles over the few days we were there. The only complaint we had was the lack of washcloths. There was one per bathroom. Other than that, we had a great trip!!!
The house is adorable and spacious! The house is tastefully decorated, clean, and the kitchen has all of the utensils and appliances you would need.
We were only in town for 2 nights for my grandma's funeral so we didn't get to enjoy all of the amenities , but we will hopefully be back in the future.
The hosts were very responsive to messages prior to booking and when I had a question at check-in. We sat at the dock in the afternoon and it was so beautiful & peaceful!
We really loved the house and the location (close to town and ON the lake)! If you need a rental in this area...book this house now!
We stayed at Garyâs for two nights and the only downfall is that we didnât stay longer! It was clean, spacious, and the location was awesome. The kids loved having their own space and watched movies downstairs. There are a TON of movies and games to choose from. We also all loved the kayaks and swimming off the dock. We didnât rent a boat but found we had plenty to do at the house without renting one. The walk to and from the dock was easy. My 3 year old was even able to do it but he also loved riding in the wagon that was provided. We will definitely be staying here again!
We bought this house several years ago for our eventual retirement, so we would have a chance to return home to Georgia more often. At the time, we were living in Ohio with our two children, and we felt that investing in a future retirement lake house was a great way to see our family more and build memories with our kids while they are still young.
We chose Lake Hartwell because it is a beautiful lake situated between two unique college towns and is perfect for both fishing and recreational boating. One of the reasons why we chose this house is because we wanted a place that would comfortably accommodate multiple friends and family members and provide a great space for entertaining. Lastly, we were looking for a place in the city of Hartwell because we wanted to offer guests the convenience of being centrally located to local shops and amenities.
You may notice if you rent the house that it is named Paula's Place. We lost my husband's mom to cancer in 2014, and she always dreamed of owning a house by the water when she retired. We were so upset that she never realized her dream that we took the risk and bought this house--fulfilling a lifelong dream of hers and ours. We ultimately chose this particular house after falling in love with both the look of it inside and outside, the open gazebo/fire pit area in the front, and its views of the lake from every bedroom.
