Escape to Greens Cay on Lake Hartwell – Your Ultimate Waterfront Haven
 
Whether you are planning a multi-generational family vacation, a getaway with friends, or a game-day weekend near Clemson or UGA, Greens Cay offers the perfect blend of relaxation and lakefront adventure. Fully remodeled and designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests—and yes, your four-legged family members are warmly welcome!
 
The Spaces You’ll Love
The Main Level: Features an open-concept layout with zero-entry access, perfect for everyone in your group. It boasts a fully equipped kitchen, two separate living areas (each with smart TVs and sleeper sofas), two queen bedrooms, and a full bathroom with walk-in shower. There is even a warm-water dog rinse station to clean off your pups after a day in the lake!
 
The Lower Level Oasis: Accessed via a separate exterior entrance for ultimate privacy, the finished basement features two sleeping areas (one queen bedroom and one two-twin bedroom) alongside a beautifully remodeled full bathroom with walk-in shower. Please note: guests pass through the queen area to access the bathroom.
 
The Outdoor Paradise: Step out onto the oversized, half-covered deck—the crown jewel of the property. Complete with a large propane grill, a plush sectional couch, and an outdoor dining setup, it is the ultimate spot for al fresco dining against a backdrop of panoramic, deep-water views.
 
Endless Lakefront Fun
Forget loading up the car; the best of Lake Hartwell is right in your backyard. A gently sloping, paved, and illuminated walkway leads you straight to the water, where you will find:
 
A private, single-slip deep-water dock (perfect for tying up your own boat or a local rental--happy to provide recommendations for rentals).
 
Complimentary kayaks and a paddleboard for exploring the pristine waters.
 
A private beach area with a shoreline fire pit, perfect for evening s'mores under the stars.
 
A cozy lakeside swing and lounge chairs for soaking up the sun.
