Welcome to The Bannister Cottage on Lake Hartwell! This inviting vacation home feels like you’ve stepped into a dear friend’s welcoming retreat, rather than a typical rental. Every detail has been thoughtfully chosen to ensure your stay is memorable and carefree. From comfortable bedding and delightful décor to a fully stocked kitchen, you’ll have everything you need for the perfect getaway.

This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage is ideal for couples and families alike. The layout offers privacy, with the master bedroom on one side of the house and the two additional bedrooms located on the opposite side, separated by the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Cozy up by the gas fireplace on cooler nights or enjoy evenings grilling, dining, and relaxing on the back screened-in porch.

Take in the fabulous views of Lake Hartwell, situated in a peaceful private cove free from boat traffic and waves. Spend sunny days lounging on the covered dock while the kids swim and play, or hop on a boat for a relaxing ride. With 12 feet of deep water at the dock’s end, it’s perfect for lake activities.

Don’t have your own boat or jet skis? Rentals are available locally to enhance your time on the lake. Enjoy two kayaks provided for your use, perfect for exploring the serene waters. Conveniently located just off I-85 at Exit 14, The Bannister Cottage is only a 15-minute drive to Memorial Stadium, making it a fantastic choice for Clemson fans and families alike—especially those visiting their Clemson students.

Our hosts and their home were excellent. The rental and all details were simple and they even checked in to see if we were good. This was one of the best VRBO houses we have experienced! Beautiful setting, immaculate house, all the necessities of home, and welcoming details. This is the place to relax!They have truly thought of all of the details/needs.We had family in and celebrated thanksgiving, expecting paper plates but there was enough of everything to use their dishes, even moved a few decorations to the table to make it feel formal. We enjoyed the lake, riding kayaks and playing games on the back deck.Thanks for letting us use your beautiful home, we loved it and hope to be back!

Perfect spot for long family weekend. House is just as described and everything was great. End of quiet neighborhood road. Favorite spot was on the screen porch overlooking the lake.
