The highlight of our stay was watching the picture perfect sunset views while relaxing on the dock. The property itself was clean and cozy, making our weekend experience seamless from arrival to departure. We would definitely stay here again.
This lakefront cabin was even nicer in person than the pictures demonstrated online. It's bigger inside than it looks from the outside, the decor was amazing, the amenities were thoughtful and thorough, and the owners were very communicative. Stay HERE if looking in the area!
We were in SC for a competition and made a fun weekend out of it. The house and lake are great! Our kids had hours of fun jumping off the dock. We will definitely go back

Relax with a beautiful view
Cutest home with every comfort you could wish for! Our favorite are was the porch - cocktails and a view. Booked August 12 last year and the weather was wonderful.
Had an amazing time staying at this house. The house was very clean, had everything we needed, great location, and a great yard. Spend a lot of our time fishing from the dock. I’m looking forward to going back.
A beautiful lake house with million dollar sunset views. We absolutely loved the house. Communication with the host was exceptional. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Very comfortable - on the water with a nice view! Close to ramps and Santee right across the bridge. Room for several boats and vehicles. Owners very helpful.

Great Place for quiet get away
Found the house to be all that was advertised. Host was very thoughtful and checked in before and left great reference material about the area. The house was clean and very well equipped. Beds and furniture were very comfortable.
Would certainly use it has a place to meet halfway again sometime. We were looking for a comfortable place to hangout, cook and spend time together and this place was perfect.
The house is absolutely adorable and is exactly as shown in the pictures. We just loved staying in the house. We are from MI and dont have Mayflies, so the amount of them was suprising to us and we couldn't enjoy the beautiful yard and lake as much as we hoped to. That is obviously beyond the owners control so I still marked 5 stars. The house is adorably decorated. Would highly recommend especially if you dont mind mayflies. Its close to alot of places to visit as well. Communication with the owners was the best I've ever had, they are so nice and quick to respond.
This home had just what we needed. A nice dock which was perfect for a bottle of wine in the evening. A wonderful, large screened in porch on the back for lounging. Fully stocked kitchen. Comfortable furniture and beds.
We spent most of our time floating on tubes at the end of the dock and relaxing on the back porch. My wife and I absolutely loved it. This is a home we would definitely rent again!
Another reviewer mentioned the Clark's Inn and The Lake House for dining. We tried them both and they were fantastic.

The Rules House
Nice property, house is old. Pictures avoid some of the age. No dishwasher and the cabinet in front of the toilet makes it hard to sit on the toilet. The owner arrived as we were unloading early and said we have a problem in a not so nice way. The house has rules everywhere, not something we want to focus on while vacationing.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr 2025
Hi Matthew, we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the property overall, and we appreciate you sharing both the positives and areas where things could have felt more comfortable. After checking in with the homeowner, they shared the following:- We work with professional photographers to make sure the listing photos accurately reflect the home, so guests can book with confidence.- The home does not have a dishwasher, and this is clearly noted in the listing to help set expectations. The cabinet placement in the bathroom is a known quirk of the home's older layout, and we understand it may not work for everyone.- The signage around the house is meant to be lighthearted and inspirational, not restrictive—we’re sorry if it came across differently.- As with many vacation rentals, we do ask guests to complete a few simple checkout tasks like taking out the trash. Our cleaning fee goes toward a professional team that thoroughly prepares the home for each stay.Thanks for letting me know about your stay!
The home and location are wonderful. Very clean, all necessities available. Owner called a few days before checking in and explained everything. Views of sunset are amazing! Would recommend staying here!
My family and I had a wonderful time staying here for my birthday getaway. The house was super cute and comfy inside and the views were perfect overlooking the lake. The pictures listed online were very accurate and communication with the owner was great. We would definitely go back to stay again!
This 3 bedroom house was a great place to stay for our July 4th week! We enjoyed swimming, boating and taking in all Lake Marian offers. Morning coffee while sitting on the screened porch was wonderful!
This property was great! Right on the water with a huge dock for your boat! The back porch was awesome! The house was very clean and just like the pics. Quiet neighborhood with tons of parking. The property does have cameras outside the house which I liked because that's where I parked my truck and boat trailer. The house is located about 2 miles from the I95 bridge and does have a boat launch on the way to the house. I think it was called pollys landing. We will definitely be back for another fishing trip!!

Relaxing!!
The cabin was lovely, very comfortable and relaxing, situated perfectly on a lake. Everything you might need was provided and David was very helpful!
We have never stayed on a lake before, (sunsets were stunning), now we’re thinking we need to live on one!!
Highly recommend!
