Waterfront, dog-friendly home on Lake Murray with dock, kayaks & firepit

Lakefront Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

The large wooded lot at the end of the road offers privacy and excellent bird watching, while not blocking the spectacular views of Lake Murray. The mists over the lake in the morning are just exquisite, and since the house is at the southwestern reaches of the lake it is very quiet. We highly recommend enjoying coffee on the back patio or dock before heading out on the kayaks.

The large granite kitchen island is the perfect breakfast bar with comfy stools, and the entire kitchen/dining room/living room is one large open floor plan. The Main bedroom & Main en suite bath are at one end of the house, separate from the other 3 bedrooms and the bonus lounge (2nd living room area).

Outside, the expansive, fenced backyard provides a safe and fun space for kids and dogs to play, complete with a playset and direct access to the dock. As the sun sets, gather around the custom-built, industrial-style firepit with eight Adirondack chairs, perfect for relaxing evenings spent stargazing or roasting marshmallows.

Wonderful get away

Beautifully appointed home with great attention to detail. Cabinets and drawers in kitchen are thoughtfully labeled, there’s an “emergency closet” with extra batteries, flashlights and a weather radio which came in handy as we lost electricity our last night. The lending library was also a great touch and I was able to read some books that have been on my list for years. We were on the water most days and the dock made it great to easily tie up the kayaks when we needed to. The hot water heater needed replaced during our first 3 days at the location, internet was lost several times with the last day of our stay being off from about 6 pm the night before and did not return before we checked out that morning. None of these things were the fault of the hosts and once we reported the hot water heater, the repairmen were there within 24 hours. Would totally stay at this location again..now if you could just do something about the darn fish not wanting to bite, that would be fantastic.

Great for friends and family

Fenced in back yard for small dogs! Fire pit for chilly nights. Floating dock for sunshine and fresh air.

Great spot to get away with family!

The lake and all of the boats and kayaks made for a fun weekend at Lake Murray. There is a ton of room in the house to spread out and it has all of the amenities: books, games & multiple TVs so no one feels stuck in one spot. If you a looking for a quiet place to get away, reconnect with nature, drop your fishing pole in the water - then you have found the ideal spot!

Huge space on the lake.

We loves the fenced yard for the dog and the kayaks included with the house. The size of the house gave everyone their own space. Gas stove was easy to use. The negatives were that the outside space was covered in webs and there were dead bugs in bathroom making me think not very good cleaning staff. And the kitchen could use some extra pots and pans.

Lakeside retreat

Lovely lakeside home; large and well provisioned. The only suggestion would be cutting the grass, but that did not really bother the stay.
