About this house rental
Super dog-friendly cabin on a private, wooded 4 acres—you can’t see the neighbors. Minutes to the Lake Russell boat ramp, 18 min to downtown Hartwell, close to shopping and dining. Plenty of parking for your boat & trailer. Perfect for lake days, fishing trips, and tournament teams.
The space
Set atop a granite hill, this comfortable 2BR / 2BA cabin blends privacy and convenience. Spread out in the cozy living room, cook in the well-equipped kitchen, and unwind by the indoor wood-burning fireplace. Sip coffee on the front porch, grill on the back deck, and let the dogs zoom around the yard.

Great communication and a nice place. Thank you!

The home was exceptionally clean and organized. The property was very private with large porches / decks to enjoy the natural beauty. Conveniently located close enough to town, but far enough away to have a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. For people coming to Lake Russell for fishing or boating, it works out perfectly.

The house was top notch in the clean department, it was conveniently located near food shopping and restaurants. Although within 6 minutes of Elberton, the house is far enough away to have a country feel to it. The Bungalow has a big front yard, large covered porch in the front and a large private deck in the back. The neighborhood was quiet and felt completely safe. The owner, Alex, was outstanding. He could not do enough to make my stay a great experience! I stayed at the bungalow for 9 nights, I was in the area to clear land for an upcoming retirement home my wife and I are going to have built this year. Although the bungalow is 30 miles from our land I would gladly stay here again for all of the aforementioned reasons. Anyway, I would like to finish this up with a; Thank you Alex for being so accommodating and attentive in answering my questions! .......Jim.
