Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Franklin County

Tammy's peaceful lakeside retreat looked exactly like the photos. Great place to spend with family or friends to rest and relax. Very clean and uncluttered spaces. Easy instructions and she was quick to answer any questions that we had.

Great place, my family & I take turns getting airbnb’s and this place was so well stocked we were shocked. We brought a lot of stuff we didn’t need. Wished I knew we were being watched. Not so big on that. I should of messaged them to let them know we washed just about everything for them. Wasn’t required but we treat it like our home. The beds were either stripped or remade before we left. Towels washed. Dishes washed. Swept & vacuumed because that’s how we are. Big beautiful home, the beds are hard as a brick and the beautiful water wasn’t there but a neighbor explained to us why the lake was dry. All in all we had a great time.

We had an amazing time at Hickory Hideaway! The home was super clean, extremely well equipped, beautiful, comfortable, and truly pet friendly. Ellen was a gracious and communicative host and her guidebook helped us decide to visit Tallulah Gorge, which was incredible. When we weren’t out exploring nearby waterfalls and trails, we spent time lounging in the pool while the dogs relaxed on the upper deck, and kayaking on the lake. We loved that the house is situated on a peaceful, scenic part of Lake Hartwell. Everything about the house and its beautiful location exceeded our expectations. Ellen was simply the BEST host and was attentive and quick to answer questions. She even had a new kayak paddle delivered when I couldn’t find one in the ample lake gear! We enthusiastically recommend Hickory Hideaway to anyone looking to relax at a peaceful, pet-friendly, lakefront retreat with a pool. The home has everything you need and more for comfort and fun.

Our host was so kind and for that I am so thankful! The home and property are beautiful. The kitchen is way better equipped than any other place I’ve stayed (at least 10 different ones) which is awesome if you love to cook like me and are there cooking a holiday feast! Y’all, no place will feel perfect because no other place is your own home but this place comes close. Ildi’s responsiveness and kindness are the icing on the cake. We had a simple and pleasant experience here at the lake house and that’s all that we prayed for.

Exceeded all of my expectations and you get a complimentary mug! Waking up to see the animals every morning was amazing and we were greeted by the dogs every morning. Will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to family and friends!

Brought my own inflatable paddle board to drop in. Loved the house-the screened porch, the fenced yard-the parking carport and being among the trees. Super cozy place to get away from everything.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this home. It's a beautiful home with plenty of space. The beds and the furniture are all very comfortable. The game area is a great bonus space for all to enjoy. Since we came in late November for a Clemson football game, it was too cold to use the lake access but we still enjoyed the view. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer. The hosts are very responsive and all instructions for the property were very detailed. We hope to stay there again next year.

The house was exactly as described, clean, and with plenty to do. We especially enjoyed the large fully stocked kitchen, pool table, games, and hot tub. Of course, the lake views are beautiful as well!

Aveline is a platinum host. She exceeded my expectations and was so responsive and accommodating. I will definitely return. Spacious modern condo with all the right touches. Very impressed. Cannot recommend more highly.

My husband likes to explore and we couldn't have chosen a better spot for his birthday. We had plans to drive around to various nearby waterfalls (we made it to a couple) but the mill offered so much to discover, we didn't want to leave. We loved the waterfalls, history, and trails around the site. The bed was super comfy. It's definitely quirky, we were glad to not have a TV, etc. Groceries were close by as well as parks.

Al & Tara were friendly and responsive from booking to check out. The place is a nice size. Everything was spotless and the bed was cozy. The only thing they may have said in their description and maybe I missed it but there isn’t a kitchen sink in the kitchenette area. This was fine with us because we were visiting our son at Clemson and didn’t spend much meal time in the apartment. We highly recommend.

The villa has an absolutely beautiful view of Lake Hartwell and the location is very peaceful. Gorgeous view from living room and screened in back porch! We love that Sadler's Creek State Park is walking distance right next door with walking trails to enjoy nature :)

My son and I stayed for the last Clemson game of the season. It was about 20 minutes to Memorial Stadium so a nice location. Check-in was easy and we felt very comfortable and at home. Having the little kitchen was so nice as well since I had to make sangria for the tailgate the next day and was also able to store a few things in the large fridge. I would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

Great spot. Just what I needed for work and proximity to Pendleton and Clemson for things to do. Was simple, clean and comfortable, and nice and quiet. I would definitely consider staying there again.

Definitely the ideal place for country rest, peaceful and thoughtfulness in hosting their guests. Good location in north Ga, close to trails, nature, and local restaurants. Would recommend to family and friends!

Would couldn’t be more thankful for the amazing experience we had at the Tomlin home. It was so stylishly decorated, with all the items needed for a weekend getaway. Carmen is VERY attentive and sets you up for success for the weekend, with through details on the surrounding areas such as food and beverage, hikes, kid friendly activities and much more. We loved the home and will definitely be back for another trip.

Mike's condo was perfect for our weekend stay in Clemson. We were there for the Louisville game. Bars and restaurants on College avenue were about 15-20 minute walk. We easily Ubered to places as well. Great place will definitely book again!

Best Host! Really convenient for attending games, getting to campus. Would definitely stay there again!

We will definitely stay at one of Ben’s properties any time we visit Clemson! He was so nice and communicative! The place was perfect for what we needed!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Jessica’s place. The accommodations were perfect. The location is awesome for Clemson Gamedays. Jessica was responsive, proactive and helpful. We will definitely be coming back!

We love staying at Fran's place. It is the perfect place to stay when visiting Clemson University!!

I loved Kiele and Michael's condo. It was the perfect size for the 6 of us. It was updated and nice and clean. We ubered on game day to downtown. And walked back from the game, it took about 30 minutes tops, it is a very easy walk. I had a few questions between the time of booking a few months back and up until check out and they quickly responded each time. Definitely would book again next time we come to Clemson.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Caden's. Beds, sheets and pillows were so comfortable. The 3 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms with tvs worked perfectly for our family. We'll be back!

It was exactly what we expected for price and description. A great stay
