🌊 Quittin Time Cottage| Dock, Hot Tub, Games, Sleeps 14
Lakefront fun meets family-friendly comfort at this Lake Hartwell retreat with a deep-water dock, hot tub, game room, and endless entertainment—just minutes from Lavonia.
🏡 The Space
Welcome to your Lake Hartwell lakefront escape in the Gumlog area of Lavonia, GA—a spacious, entertainment-forward home built for unforgettable family vacations, fishing trips, and lake weekends.
This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home sleeps up to 14 guests and offers multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces so everyone can relax, play, and connect. A full professional redesign has been completed, bringing elevated interiors, a renovated kitchen with new appliances, and high-end finishes—while still delivering everything guests love about a true lake house.
Inside, you’ll find a movie-room style living area with a massive sectional and 75” TV, a dedicated game room, and thoughtful touches throughout for kids and adults alike. The layout works beautifully for multi-generational groups, with private sleeping spaces and room to spread out.
Step outside and the lake lifestyle truly shines—from morning coffee on the screened porch to night fishing under the dock lights. This home is designed to keep you outdoors and making memories.
The home is perched above the lake, which is what gives you the incredible views, privacy, and consistent deep water at the covered dock.
The walk to the dock follows a smooth concrete path that is well maintained and fully lit at night. While it is a steeper walk, we think you will agree that it’s well worth it once you arrive at the water’s edge.

Because the home sits higher on the hillside, the dock benefits from guaranteed deep water year-round, a quiet cove location, and uninterrupted lake views — a rare combination on the lake.
Please note that the path to the dock is steep, but it is smooth, concrete, and well lit, making access safe and manageable.

Great host, great place to stay!

Everything was just as described and Erin was very responsive which made questions answered quickly. We had a very nice stay. The walk from the water is rough. But the house was very enjoyable!

It was a wonderful stay for my Moms 70th bday party. The inside was nice with plenty to do. We brought our boats and loved the deep water and really cool dock. Not one thing to complain about- it was perfect.

We loved coming here for spring break! We are a family of 5 and there was something for everyone. We all had a blast! So much to do at the house for every age. We loved all the amenities and will visit again.

House was fully stocked with all the essentials plus a lot of little extras like welcome snacks, coffee pods, extra towels, and toys for kids and adults. Everyone really enjoyed the lily pad, kayaks and paddle board at the dock. The game room in the basement was a huge hit at night for everyone and the hot tub was a favorite in the cool mornings. All showers had shampoo, conditioner and body wash stocked which was really nice. The hill from the dock to the house is very steep, so bring the right shoes to walk up and down! (May not be suitable for older folks.)

We had a blast at The Quitin’ Time Cottage! The kitchen gear was abundant and made me feel right at home cooking! Even had a stand mixer for the homemade whipped cream! The screened porch was the perfect place for dinner and post boating naps. The dock was great for the pontoon we had rented for the week. It was 20’ and fit like a glove in the slip. The kids loved the lily pad for lounging in the lake. The hill from the house to the dock was a bit of a workout but it was very much worth it to explore the beautiful Lake Hartwell.
