Family celebration

Beautiful house and property.We had a wide range of guests, plenty of space to spread out and visit. Host's artwork adorns the walls, each room is stunning, plenty of kitchen equipment, towels, etc. A wonderful place to spend the weekend.

Beautiful

We’re always thankful to people who build a beautiful home and then share/rent/trust it with others. Both indoor and outdoor spaces were sublime. So many little details that we appreciated. Thank you to the Farleys.

Beautiful home, inside and out

Enjoyed our stay at this property. The home itself was nice and well stocked but the best part of the home is the waterfront lot. Beautiful expansive view of the lake, nice dock, great firepit…we couldn’t ask for more other than nicer weather. There were some small trash leftover from previous renters that cleaners missed but not a big deal. Would stay again.

BEAUTIFUL Lake House!

We had the best time celebrating the holidays with our family at this beautiful Lake House! It is truly outstanding! Wide lake views from just about any window in the house. Most of the bedrooms have a full bath!The large kitchen and dining area make it easy to prepare and serve a large group of people.The wrap around porch provides plenty of seating. Lots of lawn to play yard games! I give this property 5 stars all the way! If you’re looking to entertain a large group of people, then this is it! You won’t be disappointed!

Easter Gathering

Excellent property. Clean, neat and well appointed rental. Plenty of pots and pans for cooking, and silverware. Spent most of the time on the back porch facing Lake Murray. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Enjoyed the adirondack chairs by the lake as well as the covered dock with comfortable seating. The large kitchen island was perfect for the many self serve meals. Extra refrigerator was a plus. I most appreciated the cleanliness and the appropriate furniture to accommodate a big crowd. Thank you so much for sharing.
