An amazing location with a beautiful view of the lake and an awesome dock & boat ramp. The cottage is well stocked and very comfortable. Small but great for some time away for 2-5 people.

Wonderful Lakefront Cottage!

This cottage was perfect for our South Carolina visit to attend a family wedding nearby. Very comfortable with a nice screened porch on the waterside. We brought a kayak so we also enjoyed paddling on the lake. Highly recommend!

Wonderful lake cabin

This small cabin right on the lake is exactly how it is pictured on VRBO. It was extremely clean and communication with Candy was immediate and helpful. We did have a little difficulty with the front door lock but Candy fixed it remotely right away. The kitchen needs more drinking glasses. The dog pen is fantastic and shaded and the dogs enjoyed being able to run free. All in all, it was a great long weekend getaway with the grandkids who wore themselves out jumping off the deck and swimming. Sunsets are beautiful off the back porch. Highly recommend this lake front cottage.

Heaven

This house is so cozy and right on the water. I drank coffee on the dock. I read on the back porch facing the lake. I went running with my dogs. We watched the sun go down on the dock with a glass of wine. If the owners ever want to sell this place I am very much interested!

Cottage

The cottage was adorable. The dock and porch were are daily hang outs. The private boat launch was convenient to access the lake. The hosts were available and very accommodating to our needs. She even shipped home our left behind items. We would highly recommend.

Adorable Lake Cottage

This is an awesome lake cottage that I would highly recommend to anyone. The property is super clean, open concept and pet friendly. Nice fenced in area for our little dachshund. It's quiet and relaxing with amazing views of Lake Murray right outside the huge screened in porch. The dock looks new and great for fishing, swimming and boating. Perfect location. It’s close to grocery stores, restaurants and shops. Candy was an amazing host to work with. Quickly responded and great communication. Very welcoming. We will definitely be staying here again!!

Hidden Oasis

We have had some VRBO encounters. This is far best the well-kept and beautiful little get away my husband and I experienced. My husband was in heaven. We even brought our fur babies instead of having them kenneled. This was the best rental ever!!!!! The hostess is there for your every need, she is a peach. Thank you, Candance and husband, for a wonderful experience and stay. We will be back.
