Anchors Down Lakeside Retreat

We provide almost everything you need for your stay; linens, towels, dishes, drip and a Keurig coffee maker plus starter supply of coffee.

If you see a better price for a similar Lake Hartwell waterfront house with view of the lake with Granite Counter tops, Stainless Steel Appliances, concrete walkway to dock, screened back porch with Rocking chairs overlooking the Lake and covered slip dock with power and lights, let me know the VRBO # of the property and I'll do my best to beat their price!

We came to Clemson to visit our son (Sr. @ Clemson) and attend the Clemson-SMU game. John & Terri’s house was perfect - very clean and as advertised on VRBO. Great place to hangout and John quickly responded to all questions. I would recommend their house to anyone visiting the area.

Lovely stay on the Lake

I loved this property! Everything was clean and in order. The owners were so kind and made sure everything was good for our family. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. We loved the dock it was perfect for renting a boat and fishing from the dock. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely Hideaway

We stayed 4 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet location and the private lake dock. The concrete path to the dock was especially nice and our 2 pups had more fun than we did in the lake. Definitely recommended.

Exceptionally clean home with graciously stocked kitchen, super comfy beds, and plenty of room for everyone in the family room for movie nights. We loved the large dining room table which not only had enough room for all of us to enjoy our meals but also play the board games the host provided. The highlight of our trip was the pool table! What a fun space in the home! Unfortunately due to the rain we didn’t get out to the dock. The home was so comfy and so tastefully decorated that it truly felt like home- all the way to the beautiful Christmas tree in the family room! We absolutely would recommend this home! Thank you also to the lovely hosts for an unexpected little gift!
