Four of the six bedrooms have King beds! Main level - Master (King Suite) and Guest (Queen) Bedrooms.

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!

nice place. we had a good time. The only drawback was that I was told by the owner it was only a 30 minute ride to Clemson Football Stadium when it was a 45-50 minute ride. This was farther than I wanted to stay.

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!

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!

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!

Overall: Spacious, well-equipped but dated and worn. Interior needs repainting; water damage above ceiling outside master. Garage opener was appreciated during rainy week. At this price point, we expected more. Decor can easily be updated by trip to TJ Maxx.Outdoors: Large covered/uncovered deck. Patio furniture (uncovered) is rusted and mismatched replacement cushions. Wrought iron needs repainting; 1 rocker had mold. Grill was dirty. Gas fireplace didn’t work. Dock was great, upper level had nice loungers; lower dock needs seats for elders. Fire pit had rusted chairs and sad cushions.House: TVs in master and main family room. 1 upstairs room had monitor Firestick. Basement had no TV despite listing photos, disappointing for young adults during a rainy week.Cleanliness: Patio lights covered in old webs. See pics.Layout: Main level: 2 full baths (master guest). Upstairs: 2 beds share hall bath. Basement: 2 beds share hall bath. No dressers-just flimsy bedside stands, though closet space was ample.Kitchen: Fully stocked with cookware, dishes, appliances. Linens: Plenty of blankets, beach and bath towels.Stop-bys: Someone parked outside briefly maybe did something in yard without notice. Owners did a weird boat drive-by. Didn't realize it was them until revisited VRBO listing. 3 family photos displayed; better left out of guest rentals. Past reviews seem unusually generous possibly written by friends & family. Returning 7 years doubtful unless rate discounted.

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.
