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!
The house and private dock are perfect for a family vacation! Owner’s were very responsive and helpful. Property is very clean with all the amenities you could want or need to enjoy your vacation! Highly recommend!
The house and grounds provided plenty of room to eat, sleep and play inside and outside. Everything was as advertised, making for a very pleasant vacation.
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.
Wonderful property with all the fun for families and friends. Incredibly well stocked kitchen. Very kind and attentive hosts. Wonderful memories made with great friends!
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!
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.
Very clean lake house. Owner was cordial and very responsive. House and property was well kept and peaceful. Driveway was not too steep. Would definitely stay here again.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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 weekend excursion was amazing. Our host were ready to book with and their place was amazing. It was absolutely Perfect. We can't wait to Tuckin to Tugaloo 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.
