Guest Advisory: Lake Murray Winter Drawdown Dominion Energy and Lake Management have announced plans to draw down Lake Murray this winter to help control aquatic weeds. The drawdown is scheduled to begin this month, September, 2026, with the lake expected to reach approximately 350 feet MSL by January 1, 2027. The lake will remain at this level until February 1, 2027, after which water levels will gradually rise based on rainfall and inflow conditions. Guests with fall and early spring reservations should be aware that lake levels will be significantly lower than normal during this period. Many docks may have limited or no water access, making it difficult or impossible for boats to reach the dock. For reference:

• Typical summer lake level: 7.5 feet (358 MSL)

• Typical winter lake level: 3.5 feet (354 MSL)

• Planned winter drawdown level: 0 feet (350 MSL)

We encourage guests planning to bring a boat to consider these conditions when making their travel plans. Please reach out to us with any questions or for updates on lake levels as the drawdown progresses. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you to Lake Murray!

A fun time spent with my son and his family. We enjoyed kayaking with the provided kayaks and my son was able to fish from the dock. The outdoor screen enclosed patio was so nice to enjoy listening to all the different varieties of birds early in the morning. We enjoyed a nice BBQ dinner under the sheltered backyard patio with a ceiling fan. The house was very clean and stocked with many games. This is a great place to travel with kids.

The house and outdoor spaces were awesome. It was clean and fresh. The kitchen had everything we needed. My favorite thing to do was sit on the screened-in porch and drink my morning or afternoon coffee and watch the water and wildlife. I did have a few issues with PMI the managing company. VRBO and PMI sent me emails after the booking stating that payment would be in two payments and gave me the dates. However, they charged me in one payment on a random date. Not good. Also, they had our check out date wrong on the door lock, so our code did not work on the last day and we had to call to get this corrected. They did get us in the house. The property was wonderful.

Jean, we are sorry that this happened to you with the payment. We apologize for this, we had gone through some system changes and saw that many guests had missed their 2nd payment. VRBO informed us to turn off our 2 payment option to help us collect missing funds. We are so glad you did enjoy the home and hope when you stay with us again, we will ensure this does not happen with you again.
