Beautiful house, great stay!

The house was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We needed a house close to family but not exactly WITH them, if you catch my drift. The way the house was arranged and stocked is perfect for families, the boats are great, the ping pong table is great - it was all wonderful for what we needed.

Family Thanksgiving Away from Home

Brining my son home from USC for a short Thanksgiving break is too difficult so it is easier for us to go to him. This house couldn't be more perfect for a family getaway. House is updated, clean, spacious and beds are comfortable. We couldn't believe all of the utensils that were there; we didn't need to bring a thing to cook every night, including Thanksgiving. Matt (the owner) was extremely easy to communicate with and responded almost immediately to our questions, both prior to and upon arrival. The view is beautiful, the location is remote yet convenient to shopping and restaurants and Columbia. Thanks Matt and Jodie!

End of Summer Lake Trip

We stayed here with another family. We had a total of 4 adults and 5 kids, the accommodations were perfect! There was plenty of space for everyone, everyone had their own bed! The bunk room was perfect! The morning view was spectacular! We all thoroughly enjoyed the ping pong table and kayaks! The location is perfect as well, the dock is located in a cove that was not at all busy with boat traffic, and the dock was able to accommodate our 23ft boat. Can not recommend this place enough for anyone looking to get away and enjoy some time on the lake!

Quintessential Lakehouse! --It's was perfect.

-thoroughly enjoyed this well-furnished home! The entire back part of the house is full of windows to enjoy the lake view, which is at the beginning of a cove, so it was very peaceful. We had a mixed-age crowd so it was perfectly appointed for this: young people could play ping-pong & enjoy kayaks & the dock. Adults had several places to gather in conversation-groups of 3-4. There's a large, well-appointed kitchen in the middle with two "bars" so it was easy to set out food and have folks mill about. Fridge was perfect size to hold a lot of food. Gas grill was a perfect size to grill a bunch of burgers. A/C worked great, even in the "sun room" off the back part of house, where most enjoyed hanging out for water-view. Beds were comfortable; bunk room was darling, nice linens & towels, and plenty of tvs for varying tastes. Neighbors across street were friendly. Grocery stores & restaurants are a short drive away. The best part was being able to float on noodles in the lake without worry of being mowed down by boats or jet skis. And (!) b/c it was July, we were entertained nightly with all the Purple Martins that use a nearby island as a stopping point on their migration to South America; it truly was something to behold b/c of their numbers and how they gather, then take flight en masse, swooping over the lake in aerial patterns. They're only active for about an hour at sundown so it was an unexpected serendipity!

Why they chose this property

My wife, Jodie, and I eventually want to retire on a lake. We searched around the Southeast and could not find a better lake than Lake Murray. This beautiful property is located in a quiet cove with easy access to the main lake and just 10 minutes from two marinas with restaurants. The prior owners used the house as a short-term rental. Our ultimate goal is to remodel the house and retire there. Until we begin that process, we decided to continue to rent it. We had 18 x 5-star reviews for 2022 (using a different rental site than VRBO). The feedback was our guests really enjoyed the location, the dock, the open lake view, the layout of the house that promotes good social interaction, and the ping pong table. The lake view never gets old.
