Spacious home on the shore of a regional lake. Plenty of room between neighbors. All the amenities necessary for a relaxing sanctuary. Really enjoyed waking up to privacy.
Lovely place to stay. Very clean and comfortable. We explored nearby Congaree National Park. The property is located off of a two-mile-long dirt road, which is rough, but passable.

Great Retreat
Visiting for a wedding near St. Matthews. This house was perfect. We enjoyed relaxing here between wedding festivities. Closer than the hotels, and definitely more fun!
Wanted a place near Columbia but out in the country and this lakeside large home was perfect! So gorgeously decorated with lots of space. The kids enjoyed the dock and lake. It was peaceful and beautiful! No problems at all just hated to leave.
The house was very clean and nice. Loved the dock and the water. I felt like it was well stocked and the bathrooms were nice. There were a few things I didn't care for though. First was the cameras. They were all outdoors that I know of, but it felt very intrusive. At one point in the evening I saw a flash like a trail cam took my picture. I'm not 100% sure that was what it was but it made me super uncomfortable. I didn't see that they have cameras in the listing. And second is the door to the master bedroom. It's glass and you can see all the way in from the the porch. It also didn't lock correctly. I really felt exposed.

From the owner: "Thank you, Angela, for sharing your honest feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the home’s cleanliness, the water access, and the overall setup. For clarity, the property has exterior security cameras only, which are used strictly for safety and never monitor private spaces. I’ve also checked the master bedroom door and shade to confirm they’re functioning properly for comfort and privacy. I appreciate your comments and hope you still enjoyed the peaceful surroundings during your stay."
