🌊 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.

    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.

    We Absolutely Loved our stay at Quittin Time Cottage. Erin was such a wonderful host. The kids really enjoyed the game room - very convenient the kids room , bathroom , && game room are all downstairs so they felt they had their own oasis. I personally loved the coffee pots in the bedrooms. The kids loved the slushee machine && the hot tub. The grill is 💯 ♥️The screened in porch♥️ The hill is steep yall 😅 so you will get your workout in , but it’s so worth it when you get to the dock. Toddlers loved playing on the beach. Night fishing was a big hit. We caught lots of bass and brim. Would highly recommend for a weekend getaway with the fam. Thank Y’all again for a wonderful Experience.

    My fam enjoyed beautiful decor, gorgeous lake view. Coffee makers dream. Made pizza on grill. Screened porch and lower patio with hot tub nice spaces. Layout worked well for us with master on main level (amazing shower), those who sleep in upstairs, and our early risers in lower level bunk room, which is near game room. Toddlers loved play boat and pretend smores, car shaped floor bed, outdoor bowling. Older kids enjoyed hammock, basketball, foosball, billiards, board games, karaoke, Playstation, slushie machine, fire pit, and especially kayaks, paddleboard, and lake mat. Will bring fishing poles next time. Littles enjoyed own beach when big kids on lake. Rented pontoon at Harbor Light, after which seafood at Tilly's Tiki. Also dined at Bella Bella Mozzarella for calzones and Biscuit Barn for breakfast. Favorite was Spotted Pig BBQ. Drove 30min to Toccoa Falls, 20min to Hartwell Safari park, and 1hr to Greenville for children's museum and pretty downtown stroll. Responsive owners.

    My wife and I had an amazing stay. The house is beautiful, very clean, and perfectly set up for a relaxing lake getaway. The lake views are incredible, and we especially loved spending time on the porch and down at the dock. There is so much to do—from the hot tub and fire pit to the game room and outdoor activities. The pizza oven was also a great touch and made for a really fun night cooking outside. You can tell a lot of thought went into making this place fun and comfortable for guests. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be booking again with our whole family next time!

    Our family booked this home for a quick getaway on Lake Hartwell and it ended up being one of the best lake trips we’ve had. The house itself is beautiful!! Everything was so well thought out; The house was completely stocked with all the essentials, even down to the coffee in the rooms and kitchen. Erin’s place is loaded with things to do, from outdoor bowling and movies, to the hot tub overlooking Lake Hartwell, even small things like a slushy machine and games. Everything was so perfect and comfortable for our group. The views of Lake Hartwell from the house are amazing and we found ourselves just sitting on the deck enjoying the scenery. Plenty of space to spread out, and often we had people downstairs on the deck or patio, while others were at the dock or sitting on the screen porch. In the evenings the adults could hang out upstairs while the kids enjoyed the game room. During the day we were almost always down at the dock hanging out by the lake. It was such an easy spot to spen

    We had an amazing stay at this lake house! The views of the lake Hartwell are absolutely beautiful and it was the perfect place for a relaxing lake getaway. We spent a lot of time down at the deep water dock swimming and enjoying the water, and the hot tub overlooking the lake was incredible in the evenings. One of our favorite parts was the outdoor movie screen — watching a movie outside by the lake was such a fun experience. Everything was exactly like the photos and the home was clean and comfortable. This house has so much to do. There’s really nothing like it in The Lake Hartwell area. Honestly one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed in and we’d definitely come back!
