Great Lake getaway

This house is nicer and much larger than the pictures suggest! The modern addition to this home is open and spacious. Great water pressure too! We caught several fish off the dock using lures and jigs. Happily impressed with the rental.

Wonderfully appointed with everything you need for a great week on the lake. Comfortable beds! Games, fire pit, grills, great outdoor porches with lots of seating. Well stocked kitchen and the ice maker on the porch was awesome for filling coolers. Amazing sunsets! Donna was so nice to work with.

Relaxing long weekend

Great Labor Day weekend retreat. I agree with other reviewers that pictures don’t do it justice! Very comfortable and spacious home. We loved the location on Lake Murray and close enough to downtown Columbia. Quiet cove and perfect dock for our pontoon boat. Donna was a gracious host allowing for early arrival if desired. Highly recommend!

Thank you for sharing your place with us. It was a perfect home away from home. The pictures on the website do not do it justice. It is much bigger than things appear online. With easy access to the water and town, the location could not be better. When we travel your way we hope to stay again.

Better then expected

The house was bigger than we expected and beautifully decorated. I could have prepped a full Thanksgiving dinner in that kitchen, it had every item would could have needed to cook or bake. The house was wonderfully clean and could not have asked for a better location. We bought some pool floats and spent the afternoon floating by the pier. Will definitely be back!

Great April Stay!

This is a lovely home! Great location right on Lake Murray! Beautiful sunsets! Close (drive) to many restaurants. Good location if you're venturing over to Augusta & The Masters for a day. Spacious, comfortable living area, rustic outside area, fully stocked kitchen and nice that basics are provided (paper products, soap, etc). Hosts are quick to respond to any questions! Good communicators & seem like kind people! We would stay here again! And would love to in the summer months to jump in Lake Murray!
