This home was absolutely beautiful!! Very spacious for our group of 8 adults. The lake was wonderful and having the use of kayaks was a plus. I highly recommend for any family gathering!! We’d book again if we travel to that area in the future!!

Awesome Location ALL AROUN

My family enjoyed a long weekend here to celebrate my son’s Univ of SC graduation. The home was very comfortable, the view was wonderful, and the location great on the lake!! Hope to be back in the fall.

Absolutely wonderful

Hands down best vacation house I’ve ever stayed it. It had everything we needed and anything extra we need was just up the road at a store. Great location, amazing views and the house was just perfect.

This was a great setting for a multigenerational family vacation. Kids, parents and grandparents had fun. The house was accommodating with plenty of sleeping spaces, a well equipped kitchen, and water fun "toys" (kayaks, fishing poles). Check-in was easy, Wi-Fi access was good and the panoramic lake view was spectacular from the porch. We also appreciated the promptness of our host's responses to our questions.

Peaceful getaway for family

We had a lovely stay at the lake with our large mix of family of both little kids and adults. It was the perfect space to get away but be close enough to the city of Columbia. Everything was easy, and the property and home was clean and well taken care of. It felt as though it was truly a home away from home. The backyard and beautiful view were a perfect addition to our time there as well! Would stay here again!

Lake House Jewell

What a great place to stay with lots of family, and right on the water. We were able to enjoy plenty of seating both inside and out on the deck. Had weather permitted, we would have enjoyed roasting marshmallows over a fire. Convenient, quiet, beautiful, and spacious.

Serene and beautiful get-away

This property is wonderful in every way. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. Lake access is only steps away and there is plenty of good quality outdoor seating. The home is spacious and tasteful, the kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals for a group. The homeowner is friendly and generous with equipment such as fishing gear and kayaks. My group hopes to return again next year!

River Rat - Memorial Day

We couldn’t have asked for more! The host was super accommodating and the house was amazing. Having access to our own boat ramp and dock was perfect. The house is located in a cove that makes loading and unloading easy. The house was well stocked with all we needed. Our group of 9 had more than enough room and everything we needed to make it a comfortable stay. 5 Star stay for sure!!

Wedding Week

We were in town for my son's wedding and this house was PERFECT for our family. Great open floorplan was perfect for socializing and the multiple seating areas were great! That part of the lake is peaceful and serene. The outdoor seating options were ideal as well. The kitchen was well stocked. The house was spotless. We had high expectations coming in and this exceeded them all. Thank you

Overall this house had amazing lake access, a wonderful dock with a view and was very clean and comfortable!!! I would recommend it for a fun weekend getaway.The only reason it doesn't get a 5/5 for us was mainly due to the terrible internet which never really worked while we were there. We had a few people hoping to work from home which had to leave and go to a coffee shop and then we sadly missed the Stanley cup finals, the NBA finals and the first USA world cup game because of it...We even had 3 folks who work in tech, bought our own cables and still couldn't get it going. For some folks this won't matter and it will be a LOVELY stay, but we are a big sports family so this was frustrating and disappointing. The last thing to know is, this rental only provides the first night of toilet paper which was about half a roll in each bathroom so we had to drive out the next morning just for TP because this wasnt mentioned prior. So bring you own!

Everything was exactly as pictured! The boat ramp was fully paved and easy to use. It was 8-9 feet deep at the dock - perfect for jumping into the lake. Plenty of parking. The views were gorgeous and our group spent a lot of time on the sun porch. Kitchen had everything we needed. JFYI there is only one room with an on-suite bathroom and it is pretty small and upstairs.
