This local sweet spot is a short drive from the house. It is only open Wednesday through Saturday and is a family business, so sometimes they close for personal reasons, but be sure to check their Facebook page for updates! Get there early for the best selection - during summer, there are usually people waiting for the doors to open at 7am!

Excellent spot for some great BBQ. Make sure to try the different sauces (don't shy away from the mustard sauce!). Their BBQ eggrolls and sampler platters are our favorites. Only open Thursday through Saturday, so plan accordingly.

Lavonia is the closest town to Hey Frame. It's quite small, but it has a charming downtown and is the closest Chick-Fil-A you'll find. The closest grocery store is Dill's Food City, and there are also a few liquor stores (Hartwell is a non-liquor county, so ensure you stop here if you're looking for something besides beer and wine).

Traveler advice
Getting around
You'll need your own car to get around
Plan to rent a car or drive. There is typically no Uber or Lyft in the area as we are in rural Georgia, so pan accordingly when going out (don't drink and drive!).
Traveling with kids
The home is not child-friendly
Please be aware that while we allow children, it is at your own risk to bring them as our home is not child friendly. There are many sharp corners, breakable objects, climbing hazards (a ladder), and we are right on the lake with a very steep walk. Keep this in mind before you come and bring anything you might need with you.
What to pack
Pack your personal belongings - we handle the rest
We try to have everything you'll need at the house - kitchen utensils, detergent, dish soap, dishwasher pods, tin foil, paper towels, etc. We also have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for your convenience. We do provide lake towels in addition to bath towels, but please remember to bring your own sunscreen if you plan to be out on the lake! Also, we would really, really appreciate it if you didn't use spray sunscreen inside the house and would get into dry clothes before sitting on the furniture :)
