Thanks Kurt! You were a great guest! We’d be happy to have you back!
My husband and I brought our 13 year old grandson to Lake Murray for a fishing tournament. We found this gem only a few minutes from Dreher Island State Park where the tournament was held. It was perfect. Large open living area with big kitchen. A hammock for a lazy afternoon nap. A private boat dock so that my husband could fish easily. Nice deck to enjoy morning coffee. Everything was just as advertised.
Michael was a very responsive host. Answering our pre-visit questions and during visit questions promptly.
Highly recommend.
