Welcome to The Budding Bungalow, our 2BR/2BA, waterfront bungalow on Lake Hartwell with a private, deep-water covered boat-dock. We have lovingly updated the entire space inside and outside including a brand-new kitchen, floors, windows and outdoor shower. You can even check out of renovation process on IG @Thebuddingbungalow

When we first purchased the bungalow, it was a parched and thorny sight in need of tender care. With loving hands, we've nurtured it from its withered state into a vibrant bloom, each petal unfolding to reveal its hidden beauty. Thus, we've affectionately named it "The Budding Bungalow," a testament to its transformation. Now, we're thrilled to share our journey of growth and renewal with you as we invite you to experience the blossoming charm of our cherished "fixer-upper".
