Lake Russell Cabin-Dog-Friendly, Secluded 4 Acres, Minutes to Boat Ramp & Town


Super dog-friendly cabin on a private, wooded 4 acres—you can’t see the neighbors. Minutes to the Lake Russell boat ramp, 18 min to downtown Hartwell, close to shopping and dining. Plenty of parking for your boat & trailer. Perfect for lake days, fishing trips, and tournament teams.
The space

Set atop a granite hill, this comfortable 2BR / 2BA cabin blends privacy and convenience. Spread out in the cozy living room, cook in the well-equipped kitchen, and unwind by the indoor wood-burning fireplace. Sip coffee on the front porch, grill on the back deck, and let the dogs zoom around the yard.

2 bedrooms • 2 full baths

Central A/C + ceiling fans in each bedroom

Fast Wi-Fi & strong cell service (WFH-friendly)

Flatscreen with streaming (log into your apps)

Super dog-friendly

Traveling with pups is easy here. You’ll have room to roam, easy outdoor access, and no close neighbors. We provide dog towels, waste bags, and basic cleanup supplies. Nearby trails and lake access make it simple to get those wiggles out after a long drive.

Friendly host

Host was very nice and gave us great info on restaurants and things to see. . Place was clean and in a nice neighborhood. Great for our dogs who traveled with us as there was a large fenced yard for them to run around. Would recommend.

Everything as described, great support/communication from owner

Property is as described. We had a late cancellation due to weather and Alex(owner) supported us by changing the reservation last minute. I understand that this isn't always possible but it provides a LOT of confidence in booking knowing the owner is willing to help in any way he can. Much appreciated and will stay here again

Life Safer

Unlike travelers, I am from Elbert County. Our home had to be remodeled due to a water leak. This house is close to everything Elbert County has to offer. Alex, made my life so much easier...he was able to extend our stay for 3 extra days. Wonderful experience in a stressful time.
