Looking for the perfect getaway. You just found it at The Getaway. It’s the perfect Columbia, SC vacation spot on Lake Murray. Relaxing Columbia Lake House w/ Private Dock, Outdoor Kitchen, WiFi & Fire Pits. Sit on the dock and watch the sunset. Drink your morning coffee in the gazebo overlooking the water. Roast marshmallow and make s’mores at the fire pit. Cook your favorite meal on the grill at the outdoor kitchen. Bring a float and play in the water. The choice is yours. It can all happen at The Getaway. Beautiful Lake House with Deluxe Upgrades. Outdoor kitchen with 2 grills. Outdoor fireplace with fire pit.

Guests are welcome to bring their boat and dock it at our private dock. You won't be able to launch it from our property but you can launch it from the dam which is a 5 minute drive from the lake house. We do have plenty of room to store your boat trailer once your boat is launched from the dam.

The boat lift can be used for a pontoon boat. We no longer have the jet ski landing pad shown in the video.

Thank you for your review. We pride ourselves in having everything in the house needed for a great adventure. Clothes, drinks and your toiletries are all people have to bring. We even supply fishing rods but people have to get their own worms. lol

Debra’s home is not just a rental house but a real home. She’s a magnificent hostess and it shows in every thoughtful detail. This home is not filled with “leftovers” from other rentals or houses but with beautifully chosen pieces to make your stay memorable. Her home is accommodating and has ample room for enjoying the lake, whether it’s from the multiple areas on the deck or the dock, you will feel relaxed and pampered. Debra ensures that you’re treated like family. I will definitely return. Thank you Debra for your kindness!

The dock and lake view are excellent. "Its all out back". Most of the lake Murray rentals don't have a multiple mile open water view off the dock. And they don't look west.
