4th of July @ Lake Hartwell

The location was in a great area close to Tugaloo to launch our boat. The house was perfect for our stay, it was well maintained, clean and well stocked. The dock was in great shape for docking our boat for our stay. We would 100% book again to stay next year.

Wonderful weekend getaway

We had so much fun on our weekend stay here. The home is immaculately clean, smells wonderful & has the cutest décor! You can see the lake from the living room window - the walk down to the dock is easy & the dock itself is amazing! Definitely recommend!

Convenient to Tugaloo SP

Most of us camped at Tugaloo SP, and accessed the property via boat and car, which was nice. Property was great for the new moms and babies.

Great boat dock!

Stayed here for a short weekend getaway with our dog. Darrin and Renee were very gracious and responsive to questions. Place is as pictured and had everything we needed. The house is located in a quiet part of the lake, so we enjoyed hanging out on the dock and kayaking in peace without having to deal with a lot of boats. Will stay here again!

Fun Times

Our family enjoyed the forest surrounding the house and time on the dock swimming and playing on our kayak and paddle board. The house is updated with a nicely stocked kitchen. We had a relaxing stay.
