Luxurious & Spacious Lake Hartwell Home

Craftsman style custom designed and decorated throughout. Builders personal home with 4000+ sq ft. with innovative ideas not yet seen in Hartwell. 6 Large Bedrooms, 4 Full Baths. Four of the six bedrooms have King beds! Main level - Master (King Suite) and Guest (Queen) Bedrooms. The private Master BR Suite includes a luxurious master bath with separate over-sized Jacuzzi jet tub and shower areas. Two bedrooms, kitchen, living room, downstairs den, dining area, and all tiled porches enjoy the big water view of Lake Hartwell! Upstairs has 2 BR's (Both Kings) with a separate reading/nursery room that can handle a queen blow up mattress for a small 7th bedroom, downstairs 2 BR’s (1 King and 2 Queens plus a set of Bunkbeds), 1 Bath, and den with wet bar. In-ground fire pit on backyard patio overlooking the lake, double garage on main. WI-FI, large flat screen HDTV, in Master Bedroom. About 30 minutes for Clemson Football and Graduations!
We have found that groups where everyone wants to be comfortable find this home the best! There are several areas to sit together both inside and outside as well as plenty of privacy for all. There are 4 Large Bedrooms with King beds. Two more Large Bedrooms support 1 Queen bed and 2 Queen beds and a set of bunkbeds respectively.
There are two bedrooms on the main floor with only one step from the garage in case anyone has difficulty climbing stairs. This allows everyone to enjoy the beauty of the lake and be in the middle of all of the fun!
You are more welcome to bring any floating devices, rings, floats, noodles, etc for your use. We kindly ask that you not leave them behind for other guests as our insurance does not allow us to provide any non-Coast Guard Approved floating devices. We will leave a few Coast Guard Approved life vests for your use.

Beautiful Clean & Spacious Home Right on the Lake

Our family of 14 ranging in ages truly enjoyed our stay at this very clean, modern home. The house is very spacious, especially the rooms. Small things go a long way with a large group. There were plenty of towels (including beach towels), starting laundry detergent etc., the kitchen is well equipped with lots of pantry space. The porch is large and relaxing, with a fan to help with the heat. The dock is also nice with the patio chairs at the top. Would recommend to any large group. Communication with owners was excellent, and they are very pet-friendly which is a nice bonus!

Always a great stay!

This was our third year to rent this property. It is ideally located on a quiet cove off Lake Hartwell. The property is always clean and the kitchen well furbished. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are set up to accommodate families. The dock is located in water deep enough to swim in, and the fishing is good too. We look forward to returning again next year!

July 4th family vacation

Lake house had plenty of room.6 bedrooms was great and the covered porch was wonderful.Rented a Pontoon boat and the lake was so relaxing. Having a pattle board for the young children would have been nice and and some furniture on lower patio would have been really nice. Family enjoyed.

Great extended family vacation spot!

We've rented this house for 2 summers in a row for our annual family gathering of siblings, kids, and parents. The bedrooms are all really nice nice to accommodate lots of adults that may not want to share a room, while there is a bunkroom for the littles. The open floor plan and great back porch allowed for hours of visiting (and eating) for the entire group. This is the best stocked kitchen of a decade of VRBO rentals, it has everything one might need and then some. The dock and lake are great, perfect to spend some lazy days swimming and floating around. We never took a boat out to see the rest of the lake, but this part of the lake is nice and calm.

Great College Reunion Weekend!

We are a group of college friends that have been alternating between beach and lake houses for reunions for the past ten years. One thing we typically struggle with is the bedroom layout, and this house fit our group perfectly. Jack and Judi are super responsive and answered every question very quickly. Tugalo Heights is a great house with great hosts. You'll be glad you picked it!

Fourth of July wkd

The property is wonderful! Great location (on Reed Creek, close to 85, close to the Hartwell marina) There is a Short, easy walk to the dock, and circular driveway for easy parking and unloading and peach trees everywhere. The layout of the house is perfect with four king beds. There are plenty of linens and kitchenware-although it lacks organization. (It was almost as someone threw the pots and pans and prayed the cabinet doors would shut. I wouldn’t normally complain but every cabinet and closet were like this.) I would suggest blinds in the kitchen and baths, and new curtains and rods elsewhere (They are very cheap and poorly installed.) Overall the furniture and all of the cushions could be updated. The outside areas need a deep cleaning- cobwebs are everywhere, the storage areas are gross with mold and old floats, etc; outside lighting is poor or nonexistent ( I changed what lightbulbs I could) The deck gate is broken and most of the railings on the front porch are loose and the dock and decks have rotten wood). Don’t get me wrong- we enjoyed our stay here and would stay again-obviously the house is well rented- it just needs a deep cleaning and to be refreshed!

AWESOME

This vacation rental was by far the best we have ever tried. It is hard to write something that others have not mentioned. You will not find more friendly or helpful owners. The place is up scale but still has that at home feeling. My son even wanted to buy it , because it was just perfect for a time at the lake. The double deck offered everyone a spot of their choosing. The neighbors were both friendly and spoke with us. Those huge decks on the back of the house were where we stayed from 6-10 everyday. You will not be disappointed with this one.

Family Summer Lake Celebration

Our family of 15 with six grand children ranging from the age of 2 to 7 had a wonderful time at Tugalo Heights. The house was beautiful with enough space for all. The kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed the fire pit and outdoor space. We also enjoyed the lake view and the dock was easily accessible and very nice. It was very helpful that one our daughters could bring her service dog with her too. Thank you Judi and Jack for being so responsive to any questions. We enjoyed making special memories with all our 4 adult children and their families at your lovely lake house. We will certainly share with others about your beautiful home.

Wedding Weekend

Our stay by included 14 people coming from New Jersey for my daughter’s wedding. The house was well laid out. The ground level living space was perfect for all the kids (eight of them ages 16 -25), giving them separate space from the older adults. The master bedroom and bathroom were a wonderful size. The outdoor space is perfect, being the end of January we didn’t utilize it much but in the warmer weather we would have been out there all the time. The home was well stocked with bath towels, kitchen towel, plates, cups and silverware for the large group we had. The house made for the perfect getaway.

Perfect family lake retreat!

This was the perfect spot for our family to get together to celebrate our parents 50th anniversary. Plenty of room. Right on the lake with its on dock. Boat ramp nearby and a boat slip on the dock. It's a little tucked away in the woods and not real close to amenities, but part of our enjoyment was making our own meals and our own fun!oursmaking pur own fun

Another good year.

This is the second year in a row my friends and I have used this house for our annual get together. It’s a quiet location but convenient to the interstate and the boat marinas. We rent a boat for two days and leave it at the house overnight on the dock which works really well. We use the barbecue every night and our all impressed with its quality. The house is quite comfortable for six adults with no couples. Be careful with the location because not all GPS accurately reflect it I think. We bought food in Greensville, which is less than two hours away for the entire weekend. There is a high-quality butcher and bakery or to there as well as the national chains.
