A perfect lake getaway

The cabin was fantastic! All you need for a nice relaxing lakefront getaway. We really enjoyed the music inside and on the porch. We also got great use of the kayaks and paddleboards. The house is clean. Perfect for a small family!

I came down to fish a tournament on Lake Murray. The house was very close to a local boat ramp.I was able to relax after a long day of fishing. The entertainment system was really nice. The hosts were very nice and accommodating.

Serene Spot

The Cabin was perfect for a long weekend. 4 adults and 1 teenager, the cabin was just the right size. We utilized the dock for our boat and there is plenty of parking for your trailer. The furnishings in the cabin are perfect; clean, modern and the sound system is clutch! We highly recommend!

Weekend trip

This house was perfect for us to spend a little time on the lake. Very cute and clean. The veiw was beautiful. The only thing I would change is the size of the bed, it's a little small for a couple. We would definitely stay here again.

Another Great Stay!

We have stayed at Tom and Laura’s cabin several times. Always enjoy sitting on the porch listening and watching the birds, 15 different birds in less than 10 minutes, one morning. The cabin is a special place so local family even enjoy coming over to hang out. Highly recommend!

Thanksgiving getaway

We traveled from out of state to visit family in South Carolina. This cabin gave us the extra space that we needed along with charm and outdoor activities as a bonus! We enjoyed kayaking in the lake and going for walks as a family in the evenings. The home was very comfortable and clean and felt like home. We look forward to staying here again in the future!

Hidden treasure a hidden cove

Immaculate cabin both outside and In. Entered the cabin to lights and music (both indoors and outdoors) just begin to set the setting of ambience this cabin has to offer. Furnishings are top quality and cabin was well stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. Enjoy amazing views from the front porch on the rocking chairs while listening to music or hang out on the dock and enjoy the water. Owners are on property as well and this cabin is treated like a primary residence. We can wait to come back to this hidden treasure.
