Lake Hartwell Waterfront, Dock, Clemson, Fire Pit, Fenced Yard, Pets & Game Room

Beautiful Log Cabin nestled in a cove on Lake Hartwell, surrounded by woods and a scenic 1.3-acre lot. “Tigertown Lake Escape" is a 4 Bedroom, 3 Bathroom Waterfront Log Cabin that offers a new dock and concrete path to allow easy access to the lake. This home is the perfect spot for family vacations, Clemson events/ football weekends, fishing tournaments, or a tranquil "getaway." We are ideally located only 13 miles from Clemson University, 2.5 miles from Portman Marina and Galley Waterfront Restaurant, and 5 miles from GreenPond Landing and Event Center (Home of the Bassmaster Pro Fishing Tournament).
Upon entering the home from the covered rocking chair front porch, you will notice its high pine ceilings and cozy cabin feeling, hosting a spacious and comfy living room and kitchen. Enjoy the wood-burning fireplace and 55-inch Samsung Smart Television while relaxing in the living area. This home comes equipped with Cable Television, Smart TVs, and Wifi. Enjoy cooking in our well-equipped kitchen, including a double oven w/air fryer, all stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops.

The dining room showcases multiple windows overlooking the serene view and a large farmhouse dining table and high chair to welcome plenty of seating. There is also an office area with a desk and monitor, and we offer free Wifi to allow our guests a quiet space for remote work or school.

We have a Paddle Boat that seats 4, 2 Kayaks (Two people and one person), and several adult and child-size life vests.

Anglers love this property! We offer plenty of room for boat and/or trailer parking, Green Pond Landing is only 5 miles from the home, and there are 2 excellent Bait and Tackle shops right around the corner. We have hosted anglers from the Bassmasters, Junior Bassmasters, and many other tournaments.
There is a 2 car carport and private drive as you enter this beautiful wooded lot. We have plenty of room for parking your vehicles and boat. A security camera is placed on the front porch for additional security while the home is vacant and during turnover; however, we do not keep it on while you occupy the home. The lake level fluctuates on Lake Hartwell and traditionally has lower levels from September into the Fall months. However, the water level replenishes from January - July, and there is plenty of water at the dock for boat access and enjoyment of all the water amenities and activities we provide at the property.

This property was amazing, from the clean and comfortable bedrooms to the marvelous outdoor patio and fireplace, and the hosts helping with whatever we needed, it had it all. We were in town for a Clemson game and the moment we pulled down the driveway, we were excited for the weekend! It's quiet, spacious, and had all the necessary entertainment for the time not on campus.

We booked this property for a retirement celebration, expecting a relaxing weekend on the lake based on the photos and positive reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. Check-in was smooth, but the house was not as clean as it first appeared. Within minutes our socks were stained from dirty floors, the shower curtains had heavy mold, and there were numerous dead bugs throughout the home. While some insects are expected in a wooded area, it was clear the property hadn’t been cleaned in some time. The outdoor areas were also neglected. The carport was piled with wet leaves that dripped sludge onto our vehicles during the rain, requiring immediate car washes. The grounds were overgrown and didn’t match the listing photos, one patio was unusable, the cornhole boards were broken, and the lake storage box was infested with spiders, including black widows. Life jackets and kayaks were dirty and had to be scrubbed before use.The worst issue came on the second day when the septic system backed up into the showers and tubs, filling them with sewage and toilet paper. We were unable to use any bathrooms for nearly six hours. While the owners were polite and responsive, cleaning the bathrooms only happened after I insisted. At nearly 600 per night, we expected much better. The property does not reflect the listing photos.

Perfect lake vacation for the family and pet

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home. Very spacious, so many amenities, the beds were comfortable, we enjoyed all the outdoor seating options. We really liked having the extra space downstairs. The dock is private and roomy with adirondack chairs so you can enjoy reading a book by the water. The enormous fenced in yard was a great space for our dog to be able to safely run and explore. There is plenty of parking. The owners are kind and easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions. This home was perfect for our family of 7, ranging in age from 21 to 78, and for our pet. It’s a short and easy drive to Portman Marina where we launched our boat and jet ski. We enjoyed being able to boat up to pet-friendly El Arriero At The Shores to enjoy food, drinks and music. The Full Circle Cafe in Anderson is a great little pizza place that was perfect for carry-out our first night there. This was our first trip to Lake Hartwell and the Anderson, SC area. It was an alternative to our usual summer beach trip. We loved everything about the home and the location. We would definitely recommend this vacation rental to family and friends. We hope to be staying again in the future.

This house was fully stocked with everything and so many little things (towels for our fur babies dirty feet, water bowls & even sticks for roasting marshmallows). The bedrooms are large and room for everyone (inside and outside). The master bedroom on the lower level has a sliding glass door out to the yard which made it easy when taking dogs outside. The back yard is completely fenced in so we never worried about our grand babies and our fur babies playing. The play room on the lower level was a big hit with the kids. We brought our boat, the boat landing was within miles and the dock @ the house was great. There is a sidewalk down to the dock and even a cart to help carry items to the boat. The only issue we had was the walk back from the dock. It was very challenging and reminded most of us we need to work out more(lol). Over all we loved this house and all it had to offer.

Lots of Space

This house has enough space for two families! Great downstairs area with two main rooms. The kitchen is well stocked. One thing I wish I had known to inquire about was the depth of the water off the dock. It is very shallow and made for not great swimming but the dock is awesome and if you have a boat it is great. We enjoyed the kayaks and fishing off the dock. The exterior is in need of some clean up. The bushes are over grown and there was a lot of debris on the path to the dock. We will stay again if we plan to rent a boat. Also beds were very comfortable.

Spacious bedrooms and nice bathrooms in the home. You can’t really see the lake from the house and VRBO or the owner should disclose that there is a very steep decline to the lake. This property would not be appropriate for small children or older adults, especially anyone with certain medical conditions.

This was the perfect place for our family to stay for our daughter’s graduation. Just a twenty minute drive to Clemson University. It rained during our stay so we were u able to enjoy the lake, dock or any provided water toys. But were able to play poker downstairs in the provided poker table to make our stay rememberable. We will come back to hit up a Clemson football game or two in the future. Ashley was awesome. Very easy to get a hold of and very accommodating to our needs.

Great Family Escape

Our family had a great time at Tigertown Lake Escape. The property is exactly as advertised, and offers even more than the photos and descriptions online. The home was very clean, especially for a property that is so obviously pet friendly. There was plenty of room for our family, and local friends who stopped by to hang out-both inside and out. The bedrooms were perfect for our needs. The bathrooms were very nice, and well supplied with plenty of linens. The kitchen had all of the amenities we could possibly want, and plenty of cookware and utensils. The hosts make a point of wanting you to feel right at home, and so many small details were already taken care of-including things we hadn't thought of. Hand soaps, extra linens, paper towels, laundry detergent, dish soap, bathroom supplies-shampoo, conditioner, etc. An extra cooler and wagon are available in the laundry room for guests who might need them. Extra food/water bowls for the pups, along with a supply of towels to help us keep paws and floors in good condition. So many thoughtful extras-really appreciated. We loved the outside-big yard, great deck space, plenty of seating-the deck lights were another great touch that we enjoyed. The Tiki Bar is as cool as advertised.The dock was awesome, we had a great time fishing, and also just enjoyed sitting out on the dock, taking in the sights. Ashley was a great host, and we appreciated her communication throughout the process. Thank you for the memories!!

Excellent property. The furnishings and bedding were comfortable and great quality. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to prepare family meals. Although the weather was cool and rainy in the evenings the outside area would surely have been fantastic for bonfires. The dock allowed us to enjoy easy access to our boat during the day at this lovely home. The owners were accessible and more than accommodating. Beautiful getaway for any family!

Clemson visit

This beautiful property was exactly as described! A wonderful fenced yard for our 2 dogs with a path to the lake and dock.. Unfortunately the weather was not very accommodating for spending a lot of time relaxing outdoors but we did play with the dogs who completely enjoyed themselves. The bedrooms were very comfortable and having 3 bathrooms was a big plus for our family group of 7. Everything was provided so we were able to begin our college tours immediately, before needing to shop. Ashley was an amazing host and was so easy to reach when/if we had any questions had any questions. If we are ever back in the area this is the home we would absolutely try to reserve!

Worked well!

This property worked well for our family during our daughter’s December Clemson graduation. The only thing that we would’ve enjoyed more is truly being on Lake Hartwell. Instead, we were on a very shallow, drying up inlet which prevented us from any waterfront activities. Had planned to cold plunge, let our dog swim, use the kayaks, etc.
