About this house rental
“Huckle Chuckle” is the perfect cottage for a large family vacation. It is a short 10 minute walk to the private beach and to our quaint village stores. With our classic cottage furniture spread throughout the cottage you will find yourself wanting to sit in every corner as each room has its own unique experience. This amazingly well-preserved historic cottage's most special attribute is it's large, lovely porch, with comfortable seating, where you can enjoy company and family.
The 3rd floor bedrooms are a fun adventure for the kids to sleep and play. Fancy a round of croquet, badminton, or frisbee golf? Our big yards are the perfect place for it!
The edge of the spacious property sits feet from our pristine and private Eagles Mere Lake and access to the communities beautiful path around the lake called the Laurel Path.
Coffee your mornings away on our huge and sumptuous covered porch facing the lake while birdsong inspires your morning. That’s where you surely will want to lounge around late in the day, too, sharing a craft beer with someone special and making memories that will last a lifetime.
If you’re interested in golf or pickle ball you can obtain a visitor’s membership to the Eagles Mere Country Club. There is a lovely restaurant in the club as well as some outside dining in the summer on the porch and by the fire pit. Please visit their website: eaglesmerecc.com for information.
There are plenty of other activities for all ages in our private lake community & some call Eagles Mere an “adult summer camp”. Because the lake is a private lake, all guests must registerwith Eagles Mere Association and pay for a temporary membership at least 3 days prior to your arrival date. Base rates for temporary membership start at $240 for 1-4 guests, $300 for 5-10 guests and $420 for 11+ guests for the first week. http://eaglesmereassociatio.fatcow.com/temporary-membership.html

We had a fantastic time at Huckle Chuckle cottage. This is an old school place with oodles of charm. We loved the deep covered porch with views of the lake and opening all the windows and doors to get the constant breeze. Convenient to all EM has to offer! Looking forward to returning!

Huckle Chuckle is always lovely and accommodating. Has to be one of the best hidden gems in Eagles Mere.

We loved our stay at Huckle Chuckle. It’s a cool historic house with quirks and character. There’s lots of space to spread out and the kitchen is well-equipped with everything we needed. Location-wise it’s a quick walk in one direction to the beach and to the Sweet Shop the other way. We hope to stay again.

The home itself is a wonderful piece of history. More than enough room for our large family. Lovely property with comfortable beds. Beautiful large covered porch in the back. But I have a few things to note.
This house is on a private member only lake. The owner had mentioned a fee of $320 for our large group to use the lake. When I called the Lake association to pay the fee they told me for our group of 18 people the fee would be $600. Without paying this fee you cannot access the lake at all or use the dock that is on the properly. This should be mentioned with the listing with the correct fees.
In addition.....we left the home in impeccable shape upon leaving, and the owner said there were "smudges" on the front door and a "black stain" on a bed spread that would need to be replaced, as well as garbage left on the floors. We left the home spotless. She AUTOMATICALLY charged me an additional $150 on the credit card I have on file with no pictures to prove there were any damages with multiple requests for them.
We are very familiar with Eagles Mere and knew what we were getting into. This is a very small community where everyone knows everyone. But being told that there would be people watching with binoculars to see if we were using the dock without paying the fee was a bit much.
Overall again the home was stunning. Just beware that you will incur multiple additional fees above the listing to say here.

My family and friends had the best time. We loved the house and spent most of our time on the best back deck in Eagles Mere!

My family stayed in this lovely home for 6 days. The young children (ages 5&7) had a blast with the games and space inside the home. The property had a plethora of activities available. This included a large yard for yard games, picnics, and then the lake for fishing and boating. The adults enjoyed the wonderful dining area for meals, games, and sweet conversations. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything that we needed. The beds were comfortable and we had more than ample space for all of us. We hope to use it for a larger group of friends in the future. Thank you for a wonderful fall weekend.

We stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate our Memaw’s 80th birthday, and we have nothing but praise for the house & location! Well-stocked kitchen, very clean rooms & bathrooms and a home that is filled with character and unique nooks & crannies. We look forward to renting again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Huckle Chuckle! It provided us with plenty of space to spread out and do some writing. We loved the big living room for use in the evenings where we would each take a turn sharing our writing and feedback. Love the gas fireplace! Though it was chilly outside, we still got in some nice porch time and a walk around the lake.
Highly recommend this for a group retreat!

Roomy and relaxing
After being outside working during the day it was nice to come back to a relaxing place have a meal, sit on the porch and play games or go down to the dock and sit by the water.

Wonderful Family Gathering to Celebrate My Dads Life
This home was perfect for our family to gather to celebrate my Dads life. We had a gathering of 18 family members and the home was comfortable and very well equipped! Communication with the owners was top notch, the location was beautiful. The home is beautifully unique, with surprises around every corner. We all would definitely come back for another family reunion.

Historic, large deck, plenty of room and right on the lake. No real comfortable furniture (mostly patio and wicker chairs). But we were a large group and could overlook that. What was lacking was water; the smell (sulfur) was present throughout all spigots. We contacted their plumber and waited a day, then contacted the owners. The owners doubted our claims, but did send a Culligan rep to service the water treatment system. That rep did not show up until Thursday (2 days before we left). The smell was still present, but lessening with every use from that point. Owners offered a rate reduction as apology, but have not delivered. My advice to the next short term tenants - sample the water before you pay.

We had a little trouble with check in. But once we got in, the home was beautiful large enough for our entire family (15 of us). Location was perfect for my daughter's wedding. The lake was beautiful! We truly enjoyed our stay.

A charming, quirky home that easily accommodated 14 adults. It rained several day while we were there, but there were games and puzzles and plenty of seating in the living area and on the covered back deck. The back deck has a lovely view (through the trees) of the lake. It's an easy walk to town or to the lake. The yard is spacious, we played badminton and corn hole. There is a nice fire pit in the backyard and you can walk down to the trail that circles the lake. A lovely, relaxing home.
