Welcome to Gumlog Getaway
We’re so glad you’re here! Gumlog Getaway is under new ownership! We strive to maintain everything wonderful about GG, and make your stay memorable.
Gumlog Getaway is the brain child of founders, Tim & Heather. In 2020, they found this lovely slice of heaven and started dreaming. Construction was completed in January 2021. Tim & Heather poured over every decision that was made. From the shiplap ceiling, to the custom kitchen drawer pulls, to the wallpaper in the bathrooms. Every selection was made to highlight this fun, whimsical, cozy home. Decorating Gumlog Getaway was no different. T & H selected some new items, along with some vintage. The mix of the styles gives this gem a warm, thoughtful, comfortable aesthetic.
Gumlog Getaway is located in Lavonia, Ga. Lavonia is a small neighboring town right outside of Hartwell, Ga. GG sits on a small cove fed by Little Crawford Creek which is a tributary of the Tugaloo River. Lake Hartwell is a reservoir bordering Georgia and South Carolina and is created by Hartwell Dam. As one of the southeast's largest and most popular recreation lakes, it is located on the Savannah River seven miles below the point at which the Tugaloo and Seneca Rivers join to form the Savannah.

GG is a 1,000 sq ft home with a dock on Lake Hartwell. Pull into the parking pad and take in the charming curb appeal. The front yard features the original 1960’s retaining wall and stairs. Tim & Heather designed the slate chip firepit area around this wall. Follow the path to the front porch with a vintage glider and seasonal herbs.
Enter the home at the living room. The open concept and clean lines draw you in! The kitchen, living room, primary bedroom, and 1 bathroom are all on the main level. Up the stairs is the loft with a sleeper sofa, book nook, and a small working area. Off the loft area is another bedroom and full bathroom.
Exit out of the back door to find the large back deck overlooking the cove and Gumlog Getaway’s private, wooded lot. Complete with outdoor dining, rocking chairs, and a Traeger wood pellet smoker.
