Enjoy a waterfront home w/game room, boat slip, firepit, golf cart, pet-friendly

Welcome to Garlands Getaways Tugaloo on Hartwell, our gorgeous waterfront lake home for 15. Perfect for entertaining, reunions, or weekends away. Located just 45 minutes from Clemson University or just under an hour from the University of Georgia, it's the perfect spot to stay if you're headed to either school for any reason.

Our 4 bedroom home is three levels and offers privacy with an oversized deck, double slip dock, deep water, golf cart, bikes, two new kayaks, paddleboard, and more. One of our best features will delight kids and parents alike: a separate game/rec room with pool table, TV, sofa, and bunk beds. You get your space for fun, and they get theirs!

Ideally located between SC and GA and perfect for a getaway that worlds from the hustle and bustle of city life, Garlands Getaways Tugaloo lake home was recently remodeled and redecorated. It is perfect for a group of up to 15 friends or family (furry family members welcome too! Up to 3), and Lake Hartwell is among the best for sunny days of shimmering water, boating, watersports, fishing, and simply relaxing. Our home is the perfect spot to enjoy it all.

Tugaloo on Hartwell is a large property that enjoys over 450' of water frontage with a beautifully maintained beach and a huge, covered, double-slip dock (one for use by guests). Deep water means no stagnation, no lake weeds ticking your toes, and ample distance from your neighbors for peace and relative privacy.

Tugaloo on Hartwell will provide the ultimate in comfort and roominess for a large group to soak up the relaxation of the lake. Its three levels feature a large living and fully equipped kitchen on the main floor. Stainless appliances are new, and all you need to prepare and enjoy great meals is provided. Our custom dining table will accommodate up to 12 guests with a second table for 4 plus bar seating. The oversized deck right off the kitchen/living room includes seating and a table as well as a large grill for whipping up your favorite cookout foods. The living area features comfy couches and new flatscreen TV, and a full-size washer and dryer add convenience. And we provide starter amounts of soaps and paper products like tp, paper towels, and trash bags. (Please plan to bring/buy additional if your stay is longer than a couple of days.)

Upstairs are two bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed and new TV. One features a desk/work area. The newly remodeled master bath has a huge walk-in shower, a deep tub, and sizable vanity area.

The lower level has a second family room with barn decor, sleeper sofa and a new Smart TV with cable and Internet access (Netflix). Two more bedrooms offer (1) twin bed + twin bunk beds and (2) a queen bed. The downstairs full bathroom has also been upgraded.

A kids/teens/night owls' dream: the separate recreation/entertainment building is just steps from the main house (50'), and inside is a new flatscreen TV, pool table, and couches. It sleeps 4 guests with a set of bunk beds plus sleeper sofa. Dogs are welcome, to a maximum of 3 (small fee).

To complete your stay, we have various water toys available for your use (kayaks, paddleboard), lounge chairs on the dock, a golf cart to ease your way to the lake from the house, plus bikes for pedaling fun. We provide information on renting motorized watercraft (ski boats, pontoons, waverunners) and can help with fishing information as well. There are some great lake-side restaurants that are accessible by watercraft.

In addition to all the perks of lake life, the Lavonia / Hartwell area offers great antique shopping, a variety of restaurants, and fantastic hiking opportunities with nearby waterfalls and nature trails.

You'll enjoy access to the entire home. We do welcome furry friends (maximum of three); that nonrefundable pet fee is $100 for one, $150 for two, and $200 for three. We ask that you clean up after your pets in our yard.

Primary renter must be at least 25 years old, sign a rental agreement within 48 hours of booking, be present for the duration of the stay, and agree to a $500 damage deposit hold (not a charge) that will be placed on the guest's credit card prior to arrival and released after his/her uneventful stay. No smoking or events allowed. Dogs are allowed to a maximum of 3 with a fee of $100 for the 1st pet and $50 for each additional. Quiet hours are strictly enforced: 11pm-8am.

Weekend getaway for a WEDDING!!
My daughter love Hartwell and minimalism so we had her wedding at the Botanical gardens. This was her mother and my house for the weekend and we entertained the whole wedding party (10 folks) easily for dinner for a couple of evenings. Very quiet. Very well supplied. One lil family stayed an evening with us and the baby enjoyed the deck with us and the walks to the water to throw rocks. Our dogs were worn to a frazzle walking back and forth to the water. THAT WAS A BLESSING AS WELL!!! Wife already talking about another visit.

Very peaceful! Very clean! Had everything we needed. The walk to the dock is nice. Enjoyed the chairs and floats at the dock. Golf cart was an added bonus. We enjoyed the kayak and having a boat slip. We had 12 adults and 1 toddler so space was a little tight but we made it work! We had a great weekend together!

End of summer relaxation
We had a nice family stay at the lake before school starts again. The house was great for two generations to have our own space with two living rooms, and then being able to all gather as well. We ate most of our meals on the deck and enjoyed the ample seating on the dock. We were delighted that the kitchen was well stocked. Our one very small problem was answered soon by the owner. The house had more games than we could play. Great family relaxation time!

A little Small
The lake location was great. The house, in general, was ok, but the kitchen lights did not work over the kitchen island. We had nine people in our family, and the kitchen was way too small. There was only one route to the kitchen from the living room. The house had been remodeled, and they put the sink in the kitchen island, which took away the area to prep meals. There is no garbage disposal in the sink. The other kitchen top had other appliances that occupied most of the space. There were a lot of spider webs and yellow jackets nested around the house. I'm not sure when the last time the outside of the house was cleaned was, but it was a challenge. For a family of 4, it would be a great vacation spot, but with 6 or 7 adults, it was a challenge with only two full bathrooms. There is an additional house with a bunk bed and bed with a pool table and refer, but no bathroom, which I thought was odd.

Weekend getaway
Our family enjoyed our stay. Beautiful clean home and property! We visit this area a couple times a year due to having family here. My brother and nieces live close and we were all able to get together at the house and have a nice visit. My only suggestion would be to have the cleaning company wipe down the outdoor furniture and sweep the porches. Everything was covered in spider webs which is understandable, but still needed done. No more hotel stays now that we found this place. We will definitely be back.

Exceeded our expectations!
Every aspect of this stay was 5 stars! The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful, the property was clean, well appointed, spacious, and everything it claimed in the listing. We stayed with our dog and 2 small children and the accommodations were more than enough if our party had been triple the size! The property was well maintained inside and out and even during a time when lake levels were very low, there was deep water and good fishing from the dock. Golf cart was a huge bonus as well! We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend booking your stay here as well

Wonderful generational property
I had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic property for our family reunion, and it exceeded all our expectations. This place was a hit with every generation in our family. The property itself is nothing short of stunning, and its proximity to the lake made it even more special. The highlight of this property, without a doubt, was the lake dock. It was like a private oasis, complete with shade and a swing that allowed us to soak in the breathtaking lake views. Spending time there was an absolute joy, and it quickly became our go-to spot during our stay. One feature that truly stood out was the golf cart. It might seem like a small detail, but it made a significant difference in our experience. It transformed what could have been tedious trips to the lake into enjoyable adventures for the whole family. We truly made the most of our time by the lake, thanks to this thoughtful addition. In summary, this property provided the ideal backdrop for our family reunion. It combined natural beauty, convenience, and thoughtful amenities to create a memorable experience for all of us. We can't wait to return to this wonderful place for future gatherings.

Spacious and Great Lake access
First time to visit Lake Hartwell in Georgia. The property was perfect for a large family and we all enjoyed our stay. Multiple entertainment areas, large deck, game room, very well equipped and maintained property. No true master bedroom/bath but all the bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious.The dock was a walk down a path but the use of the golf cart was a bonus to transport items to the dock. The dock was very large with plenty of room and the walk-in lake access was great for everyone and the dogs. Multiple kayaks and paddle board available to use was exactly what you want in a lake property. The location was very quiet during our stay. The host was great to work with and very responsive. Great stay thank you Dan and Megan

Lovely Home with great location. Had an issue with ants on the dock and owner sent out exterminator to spray. Could have used a few more staples in the kitchen (foil, stretch wrap, etc.). Grill was not the greatest it took way too long to cook thin hamburgers so we only used once. Beds are comfortable and not broke down which is always nice to get a good nights sleep. Lots of towels and places to sleep. Quiet cove for the kids and adults to hang out, float and kayak or paddle board.
