We had a wonderful stay! The home has great space, large bedrooms, bathrooms for all and the Christmas tree was such a nice touch to get us all in the holiday spirit! We spent most of our time in the game room playing billiards and in the kitchen which had everything needed for a full thanksgiving meal.

Excellent stay! Will be back!

The house was great and the host was phenomenal and very quick to respond. My guests and I had a great time on the lake and with the game room. The dock and house was very accommodating and very clean for our two boats. Would definitely recommend to others!

Perfect lake days

Property is advertised. Quiet, great location on a quiet cove. Lake Hartwell water levels can be up and down at times, but this year was perfect. Paddle board in the morning, fishing and enjoying the sun throughout the day. Great spot.

Great family/friends get away!

This house was perfect for our quiet low key get away, exactly what we wanted. The beds were great, plenty of room for the teens and adults to spread out. The fire pit was perfect at night. Kitchen was fully stocked w everything we needed for cooking in. We will back to enjoy the lake in the summer!

Great stay!

The house is perfectly decorated and accommodating for large groups. Our family of 9 got together for Thanksgiving and we so enjoyed our time and cooking there. The main living space is comfortable and cozy along with the 4 bedrooms, 2 on the main floor and 2 downstairs. The air hockey table and pool table got plenty of use as did the outdoor pit. We definitely recommend staying here!

Great Family Vacay!

Our family enjoyed this much-needed get-away and the Tugaloo Tuck-In Lake House proved to be the perfect location. Our family enjoyed the boat dock, kayaks, canoes, fishing poles, pool table, large dining room table for games, and the refrigerator (haha) the most. The sleeping arrangements were perfect, and we loved making smores over the firepit on the last night. With three children under four, there was plenty of space for them to play, as well. Thank you for a great family vacation!

The house was fantastic. Rented a boat from Harbor Light Marina, the people there were friendly and very helpful. We had a powere outage, due to a storm, the owner responded promptly, as well as checking back to ensure we were ok.And the lake was perfect. Our grandkids fished, swam snd loved the boat.We had a blast and hope to do it again. And hopefully rent this house again!

Clean and comfy!

This property was perfect for our family! The home was very clean, the kitchen was well-stocked and we enjoyed the quiet cove location. The water off the dock is deep and clear, and our kids loved jumping off “jumping rock” which is a quick and easy kayak trip away. Cell Service/WiFi was a little spotty, but workable. Communication with host was excellent—Great family lake house!
