The quack shack

Great place. Had everything we needed. We were there for a fishing tournament and was out on the water during the day. Very peaceful and quiet evenings sitting on the deck overlooking the lake.

Beautiful Lakeview

The cute quack shack house was right on the lake which is a huge beautiful Lake. John was very prompt in communication and very helpful and attentive. There was so much to do on property and so much more nearby. It almost felt like we had the entire Lake to ourselves. The property provided kayaks and paddle boards and other fun games. Bonus was that the property was completely fenced out which is great for pets to have off leash. We definitely enjoyed our time and will be returning.

A fantastic little getaway

It was a really, really nice getaway that we both needed. Also great fishing! As well as far away enough from City areas to feel secluded in a good way but close enough to be able to get there pretty easily for good food!.

Love the Lake

The Quack Shack is located at a very peaceful part of Lake Murray. We had our own Kayaks and kayaking was great. Our Sheltie loved the fenced in yard and we had a nice visit with the neighbors. Every kind of need was available if we needed it. Great location, great relaxing stay.

Great little place with everything you need

This place is well stocked with kayaks, life jackets, floats, firewood, Chairs etc. Location is great, but drive way is very steep and it can be hard to turn around in--watch the trees! It has a washer and dryer and allows pets (we didn't have them, but that's cool). It even has dog and duck treats. My only complaint is that it could have been a little cleaner--mostly the floor and then some dust on light fixtures and places that some people wouldn't notice, but I did. Plus, the bedroom with the bunk beds does not have AC. There is a fan, but it stays warmer in there than the rest of the house. Great little place for the weekend!

Perfect lakeside house in summer

Loved that the place was equipped with not only basic amenities but also lake gear such as for fishing, kayaking, and stand up paddling! It’s a great place to pass the time.

Peaceful

It’s a great place to stay if you’re planning on staying put. Coffee on the back porch, overlooking the lake, was the highlight of every morning. Since we were in the area to get to know Lexington, it was a bit too far out for our purposes. Would have liked to have known there was a paddle board on property so I could have left mine at home and saved some space in the car but not the end of the world. 😊 Overall a great little place at the lake.

Great spot on Lake Murray

The Quack Shack was perfect for our group of 4, especially on a full moon! We picked the spot because some of our friends live nearby and we planned to be out in their boat on the Lake with them enjoying the water all weekend. The view of the water couldn't have been better and the rustic little lake house was perfect for the weekend. Unfortunately, while we were enjoying the full moon on the patio outside, one of the chaise lounger chairs gave way under one of us and broke. The next day, the host let us know we'd be responsible for the damage (read the fine print). We were happy to pay for the chair that was broken even though it was in the course of normal use. The host wanted us to pay for the set of two chairs instead of just the one we'd damaged, which didn't seem fair. The weekend ended with several hours of emailing, speaking with VRBO via chat and phone before resolving the issue. It was a shame to end such a nice weekend on a sour note.

Great Lake House(May 2024)

we had a great time even though the weather didn't go the way we thought it would. It rained most the time. We loved the direct access to the lake and dock. The house was just the right size for our stay. Was awesome to see all the turtles, frogs, fish, ducks, and cranes. The neighbors were friendly and their dogs were chatty Pomeranian, but did not bother us as we have dogs of our own. Only downfall which was not a deal breaker, but the beds were not super comfortable to us but may work for someone else. We are already talking about another trip.

The Host thought of everything!

When I first walked in the door, I noticed how clean it smelled. It cones with its quirks, as its an older bungalow, but there was not a thing that we were lacking. The property and the location were 10 star. The host was 10 star. We'll be back!

My spouse, pup I came down for our grandson’s baseball tournaments. Neighbors were very nice, & it was peaceful. Our daughter & family came over on the last night & we had wonderful family time! Fishing, eating on the picnic table, playing games! We also loved the gorgeous sunrises were just some of our favorite moments. We saw a Goat 😍 on the neighbor's property (2) lots down! We enjoyed our time in the Quack Shack!
