Wonderful Stay

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.

Perfect Family Vacation Spot

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.

August Lake Time

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!

Wonderful location for family vacation

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.

Great weekend of downtime

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!

Beautiful Lake Getaway

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!

A nice, relaxing time with family and friends

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!

Fall Break Getaway

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!!!

Beautiful House & Location

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!

Amazing!

We stayed at Gary’s for two nights and the only downfall is that we didn’t 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 didn’t 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!

Family Enjoyed

We (our son's family, our daughter's family, and us - a total of six adults and three children under the age of 8 years old) arrived Friday evening. We found the house to be clean and adequately met our needs. We did find that the A/C not working as expected on the main and lower level, but did not report it to the owner until Saturday morning. Gary and Tiffanie were very responsive and was able to have an HVAC technician come to the house on Saturday to make the necessary repairs as quickly as possible. Overall, our family enjoyed our time together and left Sunday with great memories of our weekend together.

Relaxing Lake Vacation

We had a great time at this lake house. Great memories of swimming in the lake, boating around Lake Hartwell and the ping pong tournaments at night. I think what really made us the happiest was sitting on the deck watching the fire flies at night and sitting in the screened porch in the morning. The Goffs were great hosts. The grill broke and the next day a new grill was delivered. We were so happy! The dock was wonderful and we spent everyday down there enjoying the the water. The walk to the dock can be strenuous for the elderly and those who are out of shape. We looked at it as a little exercise and a nice walk in the woods. All in all it was a wonderful vacation. Great memories!
