Charming Lake House with Dock

Come enjoy some 'down time' and 'recharge' at Lake Murray! Fish from our dock, paddle around in our canoe, or rent a jet ski or boat and get out on the water! Grill up your fresh catch on the deck and or sit back and relax on the screen porch overlooking the water and dock. Please note: This is a NON -Smoking - NO Pet house. PARTIES or EVENTS with invited guests are NOT ALLOWED.

This open floor plan home was built in 2007 and outfitted with all new furniture in 2010. NEW CARPET was installed in all bedrooms for 2017. The master suite is located upstairs and features a queen bed, a cedar lined dresser, satellite HDTV, Blu ray DVD, and a sitting area overlooking the lake. The master bath has tile floor, dual sinks, a soaker tub, separate shower, and a walk-in closet.

Down stairs you will find a high ceiling great room with hardwood floor connected to a dining area and full kitchen with an island bar. Above the gas log fireplace is a satellite HDTV (1080p) with Blu ray DVD and surround sound system. A comfy leather sofa and love seat with built in recliners will let you relax while enjoying a movie from our DVD selection.

The gathering height dining table will seat 8, and 5 more can sit at the kitchen bar.

Two down stairs bedrooms featuring a Queen and a double bed with trundle are connected with a 'Jack and Jill' full bath with double sinks.

Two sliding glass doors open from the great room on to the deck and screen porch with views of the shared dock and lake. A full laundry room and 1/2 bath complete the down stairs.

This house has a paved driveway off a paved street in a nice neighborhood. A well kept lawn with sprinkler system will have you going barefoot and relaxing as soon as you get out of the car!

Beautiful and well-equipped home, exactly as advertised! We enjoyed the beautiful lake views and peace and quiet of the location. Circle Diner was a great lunch location, Carter and Holmes Orchid growers gave us a private tour, and shopped til we dropped at Little Mountain Antique Mall. Love this property!

Everything was great. The house is very nice and stocked with everything you need for cooking. The view is amazing and we enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch taking in the view. The cove is nice and quiet. Steven was easy to contact and was in touch before we checked out to see if we had any questions. We definitely recommend to anyone staying at Lake Murray!

Relaxing lake vacation

We had a great time at Lake Murray. The home was right on the lake with big windows giving you a great view. We enjoyed the kayak and canoe and tubing in the lake. The home had everything you need, very well equipped. Thank you for a nice week.

3rd Visit

We absolutely love this property. This was our third visit. The house has a beautiful view of the lake. It is very well apponted and is always absolutely spotless. The very best thing is that the living room furniture is VERY comfortable. We stayed in several VRBO properties in different places this month. We found that the couches were horrible...except in this property. The reclining couch and loveseat are awesome. Steve and Lisa are very easy to work with

Beautiful and relaxing....

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lake house, it was immaculate, comfortable, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We had traveled from Massachusetts for my son's graduation at USC, and are so glad we chose this instead of a hotel. The house has a great layout, with a direct view of the lake. It was very quiet , we real enjoyed sitting outside in the screenhouse. Steve was really professional to deal with, his communication was great. The house exceeded my expectations I would definitely book this property again.

VERY VERY PLEASED

There is so much to say about this place that I don't even know where to begin! EVERYTHING was great. The house is very nice and the location of the house on the lake is awesome for fishing this time of year. The house is fully stocked which is a big help because it is easy to forget things while trying to pack for vaction. Probably one of the things that stands out the most for me about this rental is how Steve, the owner, has a book on display for you in the house that pretty much gives you any information that you might need to know. He lets you know of restaurants near by (and how to get there) same thing for grocery stores, gas station, etc. He gives you the numbers of local neighbors, fire dept., etc. I found this book to be helpful for little things and I pulled it out often. This might seem like a minor detail, but having that book takes some of the chaos out of trying to figure things out. Another thing that I REALLY REALLY love about this house is the huge window that overlooks the lake in the upstairs master bedroom. I like the updated kitchen, fireplace, cable, wi-fi, screened porch, etc. As I said, too much to list. The week that we spent at this home was much needed due to some hectic things going on in our life. We needed R&R just away from it all and we certainly got it here. Not to mention my husband was there for the fishing also and he had good fishing almost every day. We came home with a ton of fish to use for a fish fry later on. This is a wonderful place for any type of getaway. One other thing that I would like to mention is the fact that Steve is very professional in the way he handles the paperwork, the deposit return, and checking in on the arriving guest. My husband has told me to go ahead and try to get the house at the same time next year!

If you’re looking for a fantastic place to stay on Lake Murray, this is it. Clean, well cared for, great living space and kitchen, and on the perfect cove off the main lake. Quiet water for swimming and easy access to the lake for more serious boating. Loved it and will be back!

Fun times on Lake Murray

The house was very convenient to local stores and also close boat rides to marinas and lakeside restaurants like Taco Margarita’s and Martins Landing. The house itself was 3 bedrooms 2 1/2 baths with ample space for everyone to sleep and rest comfortably. The kitchen was well equipped. Having a dock on the property was great for our pontoon and the boat ramp was conveniently located right around the corner. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
Our family enjoys water sports and we have friends with weekend or permanent homes in the near-by area. I am a relocated mid-westerner who has been in South Carolina over 30 years. When out-of-town family and guests come to visit, we wanted to provide a place to stay that was relaxing and not so intruding on our permanent home. We furnished and appointed this house as we would for our best friends. I know that you will enjoy staying here also!

Why they chose this property

Lake Murray is the closest major lake to our permanent home. The lake level is well maintained as compared to Lake Strom Thurmond (Clark's Hill). The house is located away from the congested traffic of down town Lexington, and away from the high density boating areas near the dam, yet we have easy access to town when needed.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the smooth waters of the many nearby coves for wake boarding and skiing. A public boat ramp and picnic area are also close. Dreher Island State Park is a short boat trip away.
