We stayed here for my son’s graduation from army basic training. We were only an hour away from the base and the house accommodated my large group perfectly! We flew into Charlotte, NC which was a 2 hour drive but I’m sure the airport in Columbia would be closer.
Since we arrived the owner has been super helpful with everything and been super responsive as well. Everything was exactly as it showed in the pictures and in fact it looked better in person. Everything was really clean and tidy and there was so much to enjoy, especially in the downstairs area. We were also only seconds away from the boat ramp and lake. Amazing stay!
8 of us stayed here for the Spartan trifecta weekend. The house is beautiful, well kept, and clean. The beds and showers are incredible, it was a perfect place for us to relax together as a friend group and recover. Host was responsive and immediately available. Will definitely be back!
I was so very impressed by how clean and how much room we had at this property. It was beautiful. I definitely would recommend this property for anyone. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home! I would love to come back in the future.
Our extended family came to eat dinner together. It was great. Plenty of space.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The “lakefront home” description and pictures were misleading. The cleanliness, especially kitchen was less than expected - had to wash most of dishes, glasses, tableware before use.Rooms were comfortable, everything was in working order with exception of blender and food processor, which I really consider “extra” appliances, but I did want to use. Found an immersion blender which was great. Heating and hot water worked great. Plenty of comfortable seating, TVs, dining table.

Hi Brenda,
Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your thoughts. I’m really glad to hear that you were comfortable and enjoyed the property overall. The home isn’t advertised as lakefront, and make sure the listing is accurate as as sent detailed descriptions of the property including water access availability prior to guest arrival. Just one block away, there’s a full dock area where guests can launch boats or kayaks. The owner of the dock asks for a nominal $2 per day fee to help with maintenance.
We also strive to make the house as well-equipped as possible—especially the kitchen—so guests have everything they might need during their stay. Throughout each visit, we make a point to check in multiple times during the stay and respond quickly to any questions or concerns to ensure a pleasant, stress-free experience.
This location was a great choice for our lake weekend to celebrate birthdays of multiple family members. The house was well stocked with tools and pans to prepare your own food, there were multiple areas for people to gather and relax. We thought the property was right on the water with its own dock. It was not, however there was an access point a short distance away that the property could use.
