Renting a lake house in November probably isn't on the mind of many vacationers, but Grateful at Hart was exactly what we were looking for. The home is beautiful and while we really only used the primary level, it has plenty of room for larger groups. Lake views abound in this home. We particularly liked the enclosed balcony off the primary level. Our dog could enjoy it with us without worry that he might sneak away. Lake level was down as is normal this time of year, but that didn't detract from the views. There was still plenty of water to gaze at and enjoy. We took advantage of the lovely fireplace and enjoyed a quiet Thanksgiving Day relaxing in this beautiful home. We had no issues during our stay, just a couple of questions that Chad & Natalee answered right away - even on Thanksgiving Day. For those with dogs, the kitchen has an elevated dog feeding station which we very much appreciated. The size best accommodates larger dogs and while we brought our own, dog dishes are provided. The neighborhood is lovely and was great for walking our dog. Boat ramp is a half mile away and we walked there just about everyday to see more of the lake. We visited the quaint town of Hartwell a couple of times and loved it. We particularly enjoyed Southern Hart Brewing and Common Grounds. The location is also close to Greenville which is a fun day trip. Enjoyed our stay so much we didn't want to leave. Chad & Natalee were kind enough to extend our stay which we so appreciate.

We love staying here so much. We have made it our summer vacation 4 years in a row!

Another great summer week on the lake! This is our favorite cove and this home was perfect for our family and friends to enjoy right before the kids go back to school. We rented a boat again and spent most of the time fishing and swimming. We brought our 10 month old golden retriever too and she loved the lake. The hosts were extremely responsive and we had everything we needed during our stay. Can't wait to do it again next August!

Very nice view of the lake Hartwell. House was well maintained. Only downside to house is no turnaround for boat trailer. Had to back boat down long driveway. House is about 45 mins from Green pond landing. I would recommend this house for anyone wanting to fish the south and west side of Lake Hartwell.

My family had a wonderful time at Natalee and Chad's home! The views on the lake are stunning! If you rent a boat as we did, the dock is very easy to dock your boat to. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need. There is a basketball net outside, which my son loved! The gas grill is easy to use, and we ate dinner most nights outside. If there is a storm, remember to close the umbrella and secure dock chairs. We had a lovely two-week vacation!!

The property was exceptionally clean and well stocked. Beautifully decorated and well maintained. The family had a great time playing air hockey:). My only complaint is that the fish weren't biting. Very laid back relaxing vacation.

The home and location are lovely and well-maintained. It was perfect for our four generation family of nine, aged 18 months to 79 years, to celebrate our granddaughter's graduation from Clemson. Ms Small was very easy to work with and immediately sent an A/C repairman the first morning we were there. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Nancy

The house has a great layout for lots of family or older kids bringing friends. The owners have made the most out of the indoor and outdoor space so we had plenty to do during our stay. The kitchen was well equipped and all of the furniture was comfortable and clean. My only complaint would be that there are very few window coverings. If you are in the Master BR, you have to change in the bathroom so the neighbors can't see you while walking down their long walkway to the dock. If you are in the kitchen, living room or main living area in the basement, the neighbor on the other side can see right into the house. I didn't like having kids in the basement knowing they could be seen by any passers by. And, my Husband likes a very dark room to sleep in...you won't get that in the Master BR. Other than that, I have no complaints or suggestions. We would definitely stay here again
