Lakewood Cottage LLC was created to offer guests a relaxing escape where comfort, nature, and convenience come together. Located in Townville, South Carolina, along the shores of Lake Hartwell, our charming waterfront cottage provides the ideal setting for everything from family vacations and fishing trips to Clemson game weekends and romantic retreats.

Whether you're visiting for adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, our goal is simple: provide a welcoming place where guests can slow down, reconnect, and create lasting memories.

Your Peaceful Escape on Lake Hartwell

Life moves fast. Lakewood Cottage was designed to be a place where guests can step away from busy schedules and enjoy the slower pace of lake life.


Wake up to beautiful water views. Spend your afternoons kayaking along the shoreline, fishing from the dock, exploring nearby attractions, or cheering on the Clemson Tigers. End your evenings gathered around the fire pit beneath the stars.


Every aspect of the property encourages relaxation and quality time with family and friends.



Unlike large resorts or crowded hotels, Lakewood Cottage offers privacy, comfort, and direct access to one of the Southeast's most popular recreational lakes.

Comfortable Accommodations for Up to Six Guests
