Hard Cash Cove: Private Waterfront Retreat in Fair Play

Hard Cash Cove is the Lake Hartwell escape for guests who want easy water access, true relaxation, and a home that feels effortless from the moment they arrive. This bright, level waterfront retreat comfortably sleeps up to eight guests and brings everyone together in an open, welcoming space made for shared meals, game nights, and unhurried time away. Tucked down a quiet road on a peaceful cove, the home is reached by a long private driveway with a convenient level entrance.
The king primary suite includes a private en-suite bath, while a queen bedroom and a twin room give families and friends flexible, comfortable sleeping options. A second full bath is conveniently positioned between the guest rooms.
Outside, take the gentle walk to the shoreline and enjoy covered-dock access with deep water for boating, fishing, swimming, and floating. Enjoy worry-free access to beautiful Lake Hartwell from our floating dock. With deep water access, the dock remains accessible and floating, even with lake levels change.
As evening settles in, gather around the backyard firepit before returning to the quiet privacy of Hard Cash Cove. Tucked away from the crowds yet convenient to I‑85, it is an ideal home base for lake weeks, Clemson weekends, and memorable escapes with the people you love. Located within a 30-minute drive to Clemson- ideal for campus visits, games and downtown dining.
