    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.

    Very nice home, especially liked that there are lots of activities if you decide to stay in for the day. North Georgia is a hidden gem . . . really loved the area!

    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.

    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!

    Had a wonderful time with my grandchildren! Everything was there for them to enjoy. The only complaint I have is that the pollen was very bad on the decks.

    We loved this house and property. Our family of 12, including 3 grandchildren, had such a wonderful vacation. The house has everything you need and is exceptionally beautiful. The cove is great for swimming and little children. Jumping rock is literally around the corner! We brought 2 boats and had plenty of room. We will definitely come back.

    Property was clean, well stocked, and plenty of room. We are a group of friends who do a golf weekend each year. Usually 10-12 of us, so this house was a perfect fit. Thanks for a great stay.

    Our family of 13 had a wonderful time at this vacation house. The house was very clean. The hosts were accommodating and were super responsive to texts. Having lake access was a plus even though we didn’t rent a boat. The kids and even a couple of our adults enjoyed jumping off the dock and learning a new skill on the provided paddle board. Great area for a fire pit and our night of having s’mores. We really enjoyed our time together at Tugaloo Tuck-in!
