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!

We loved the house. Very cozy with everything we needed. Super easy to get to for all of the guests. In the fall/winter the lake is so low that the property is not truly lakefront. I am sure it is great when the lake is full, but we didn’t get to enjoy any water activities this trip.
We loved the house and the trip was another success! #Girlfriends

We enjoyed our stay and took full advantage of all the activities it offered both inside and out. We used the kayaks and paddle board, played bocce ball, air hockey and pool. The house is very modern, clean and well stocked and has nice spaces both inside and out. The lower level with its game room and two bedrooms is great when you have older children. We also used the fire pit. Overall it was a fun weekend and nice getaway.

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!

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!

The property was great. Owners quick and responsive to all our needs.We rented a pontoon boat for a couple days. The dock was perfect. The walk down to the dock was ok just need to watch your step on the stairs. The walk back up a little breath taking and hard on legs and knees for nanas and papas. Had a great time.

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!

Wonderful place to hideaway, enjoyed the private cove for our children swimming. Very clean, great kitchen.
The driveway in and out is a beast.
The stairs to the lake could use railing on the last section. My elderly parents struggled with steep walk.
While it was clearly posted, the lack of washer and dryer became an issue for the ten of us staying for a week. The laundromat was closed during our stay to refinish the floor, so lots of wet and stinky towels for us.
Overall great stay though.

My family and I enjoyed ourselves at the famous “Tugaloo Lake House”. We traveled there from Florida, Ohio and South Carolina. It is a fun little property nestled in a quiet cove in the neighborhood. The kids loved fishing on the dock and making s'mores and exploring the outdoors. The home has such a comforting feel to it that makes you feel as your part of the family.
Everything we could need in the kitchen was there, even some if the things we forgot at home we found.
We are a small knit family and lost 2 family members last year. We promised to spend more time together and this property was the first of many. My grandmother would not stop talking about how wonderful it was there and her heart was full even though we loss so much.
It rained on one of our days but we still ventured out and visited Tallula Falls. Even through we were a little wet we has sooo much fun. These views you cant get in Florida.
Overall, our first experience with VRBO was great and the hosts were so gracious… their process was seamless, thoughtful and informative!
Even though I am an Florida Gator, I still appreciated being here (wink)
God bless.

We had a wonderful mini-vacation at the lake house! We went for a long weekend to try to enjoy some cooler temps and change of season. The house was clean and well appointed with so much to do. We fished, kayaked, played air hockey, pool, and enjoyed s’mores at the fire pit.
If you are into outdoor activities and staying active, this is perfect.

Our time here was restful, relaxing, busy(4 children under 4)…just enjoyable!! The owners were helpful and responsive to any questions we had!
The cabin was clean, well stocked, and had a great floor plan for families! The recreation room was a hit, and the back yard, fire pit, and back decks were fun areas to sit and visit or play yard games!
We enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding, as well as boating ! The dock is a great place to sit and just listen to the birds, and other sounds of nature!!!
This was truly a peaceful spot on Lake Hartwell, and one our whole family enjoyed!

Vacation rental
This home is well equipped for both outside and inside entertainment. Weather prohibited us from using the fire pit and making s’mores, but children were happy inside with games to play. The home was very clean and nicely decorated. Only disappointment was no washer/dryer. Internet was a little slow - but that helped us all unplug more and enjoy family time together.

Family fun at the lake!
The property was beautiful and just as advertised. We had everything we needed to keep all age groups entertained. Only complaint I heard was that the downstairs beds weren't very comfortable, but the main bed was fabulous!! Thank you so much for letting us rent your place.

A+++++ Lake Rental
This was a Great Lake rental. Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had 12 adults and two children with plenty of room for us all. Rental was so nice and clean. Had everything we needed and stuff we didn’t even think we would need (but did) was there as well. Would definitely recommend to others.

Enjoyable stay
Great location to our needs and lots of activities. The only things that will stop me from returning to the property is no washer and dryer and no electricity at the dock. We were there for a fishing tournament with 15 year old boys and the need for a washer and dryer is important for us. We also need to be able to plug the boat up to electricity to charge the batteries. Great place.

Our stay at Tugaloo Tuck-In was fabulous. The home is lovely and the attention to detail along with all of the additional amenities made everyone in our group feel right at home. If we weren't busy on the lake kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing, we were playing pool or enjoying our time together on the upper deck.
The home is beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything we could possibly need or use during our stay. It is obvious that a lot of care and attention by the owners was put into making this a great retreat for their guests.

This is wonderful place to stay and relax, not only the cabin is clean, organized and fully equipped but the backyard and lake make this cabin a perfect place to disconnect from the usual. I also want to complement the host, communication is also a plus. Very happy and will be back for sure!!!
