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.

A wonderful house on Lake Murray! The house is spacious and so clean and comfortable. The views of the Lake are awesome. We all enjoyed swimming around the dock.

We had a wonderful family vacation and hope to come back again soon!

July 4th fun
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.

We were overwhelmed with the peaceful beauty this property offered! Large and laid out well. 3 seperate screened in porches and a deck. Right on the lake. Clean and well maintained. Hosts were reachable and responsive. Cleaning duties were more than reasonable.

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.

5 Stars Isn’t Enough!
Beautiful home and pictures don’t do it justice. Quiet location that is close to everything. House was very clean and very comfortable! Of course being right on the lake was an added bonus and you won’t believe the amazing sunsets you see from this location. The owners are a pleasure to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions or needs you may have. We highly recommend this property and hope to come back 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!

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!

We enjoyed our week on Lake Murray. The fishing was good and we enjoyed swimming by the dock. The house was more than enough to meet our needs. The owners were pleasant and easy to deal with. We are thanking the good Lord for a wonderful vacation experience.

Perfect Lake House for a family getaway
We were not expecting this house to be so cozy and beautiful. We have to say that the online pictures don't reflect the lake view form the different parts of the house which is amazing. You can see the lake from the living room, the kitchen area, the master bedroom, and the den. Our kids had so much fun swimming and fishing at the lake by the dock. This was the perfect place for our family to enjoy God's creation and spend some vacation days making memories together.

Great Location
Great Location on Lake Murray. Very close to viewing Purple Martins and dining at Liberty on the Lake. The house was very spacious and very well stocked. A family can literally just bring their clothes, toiletries, lake tous and groceries and be good to go for the week. Boat Ramp and dock was very useful and in a cove so there were no worries about waves messing up our boat. Property Manager was very friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Absolutely Beautiful House
The reason why i didn't give them a 5 star rating was because we were killing waterbugs the entire stay. No one could sleep, they were everywhere. The property manager claimed no one had ever complained about bugs, but there were too many not to have been there before. In one room it was on my daughter's dresser, my other daughter found one in the shower, I found one in my bathroom and we all saw several in the kitchen and living room. My husband who was the only one brave enough to kill them couldn't sleep. If it wasn't for the bugs, definitely a 5 star stay. BTW, my kids didn't even know what they were, they looked it up on the internet and found out they were really called roaches. An exterminator would make the place a great place for your buck!

Wonderful getaway
In looking for a change of scenery after being home for months, we found the perfect getaway in this lovely lakefront home. It was the perfect size and setup for two adults and our two teenage sons. The kitchen had everything we could need to make all our meals since we didn't want to go out. The screened porches made for lovely early morning and evening relaxation, and the sunsets were incredible! The home is located on a small, quiet cove with a dock for our rented boat. We spent hours each day on the lake, but easily came back for lunch and then dinner before heading back out for our sons to fish. The water is warm and clean and glassy, perfect for water-skiing! The home was clean and neat and Donna was a joy to work with, from answering pre-arrival questions, to the homemade bread and jam waiting for us on arrival, to her willingness to mail us something we mistakenly left behind. I'd highly recommend this lovely home and its wonderful owners.

Great place
Beautiful lake house. If your bringing a boat like we did having the boat ramp in the back yard was clutch and was easy to use. Great cove right close to everything but far enough off the big water that your boat won’t get beat up at the dock with boat traffic or if the lake gets rough. Donna was very easy to deal with and if we had a question would respond to my text ASAP. House was great had plenty of room,the big rear screened in porch made great for hanging out at night. Would recommend 10/10 to stay here.

Relaxing family get away!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home! It was clean, comfortable, and had lovely views. The kitchen was very well stocked which came in handy as we prepared most of our meals. We were able to get Door Dash service as well, which was nice. We enjoyed using the screened in porches for meals, coffee and reading after breakfast, family game nights, and watching a couple storms roll in off the lake. The quiet cove the house is situated on were perfect for kayaking, paddlebording, swimming and fishing. The evening weather finally cooperated on our last night and we were treated to one of the gorgeous sunsets we read about in the other reviews! We would absolutely stay at this house again!

Great Family Vacation
Our family had a great time! The house was inviting and clean with plenty of space for family time and mom time on the private porch off the master bedroom. The yard was great for the kids to play. Great place to bring your boat. The onsite launch and dock were perfect for out 19' boat. The view of the lake is peaceful and relaxing with beautiful sunsets. The water is clean and refreshing. The owners are great. They communicated well and were easy to work with. The homemade bread and jam they left as a welcoming gift was very thoughful and appreciated.

Heaven
This house has a view to die for, with your choice of 3 different screened in porches that all look out to Lake Murray. I haven't seen a sunset this beautiful since Hawaii. The owners were wonderful to work with, and were sweet enough to leave a little welcome gift of a freshly baked loaf of bread accompanied by homemade jam. I hope I have a reason or opportunity to come back to this beautiful place!
