We enjoyed staying at the house as it met our needs for the time we were visiting the area. The rooms were clean and cozy. Our children had fun choosing their rooms and the lawn area provided room for them to stretch their legs and run and play. We did find we had to purchase some extra towels and flatware as there wasn't enough for our family size. Overall, I would recommend this cozy house.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The house was cute and comfortable and had nice yard space. Unfortunately it was not very cleanly. We found multiple dirty socks left in the house and dust and crumbs under the bed. The owners had the house sprayed for bugs the day before so there were dead cockroaches around. We also discovered two unrefrigerated packets of cookie dough inside one of the dresser drawers, one of which was opened. The house sleeps 6 but there were only 4 forks in the whole house and very little dishes. Ok for the price but not ideal.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 May 2026
Thanks for you review. I’m sad you felt the need to give us a poor review for spraying for bugs. I actually gave you a heads up. I don’t know what else to do. Not spray? Anyway, the cleaner paid prompt attention and deep cleaned the home after you left. While we appreciate honest feedback, we would like to remind you this is a rustic country cottage located in front of a field. Critter control is a necessary component of maintaining this home. And, for the record, there are TONS of dishes in the home. Perhaps you didn’t look in all of the cabinets.

It is exactly as described. It is very rustic and unassuming on the outside, but beautiful and clean on the inside. The area is very quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed watching the birde and fireflies. It is right down the road from Lake Murray Public Park and several great eating establishments. I highly recommend it!

Nice stay

We had a nice stay here. Very convenient location to a wedding venue we came to town for. We were missing a few things but overall was very spacious and nice. Could have used some more hangers, an iron, a lighter, detergent, paper towels, dog bowls and maybe a deck of cards to make it perfect. Overall, we would stay again if we found ourselves back in the area.

Quiet, peaceful place

The house is exactly as described in the listing but the pictures don't do it justice. It's very clean and the decor is cute. The bedrooms are bigger than expected and the living room area is also spacious. If you like the cook, the kitchen is clean and all the appliances are in great working order. The back yard has an adorable outside lounging area with lights so you can enjoy it at night too. It is super easy to find and a 5-10 minute drive to the city. I highly recommend this place!

Week long fishing trip to Lake Murray. Roomy rental. Lots of counter space. Decent bedrooms with TV in each. Nice outside area and grill. Large lot for turning a boat around. About a 5 minute drive to Lake Murray and 10 minutes to restaurants and grocery. Look forward to staying again next year.

Yard is spacious with plenty of parking and fenced-in for pets. The Edison light strings in the yard add a romantic fun atmosphere. Presence of TVs in every bedroom is a nice touch.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Riley

Host profile image
I love hosting guests in my cute cabin! It's been fun decorating it and we love it when guests come and enjoy it.

Why they chose this property

This home is located close in to everything and includes parking for cars as well as boats. The location is perfectly close to the lake, Harbison blvd for shopping and dining, but appears to be country when you look out your back door! Lots of privacy, but close to everything...you can't beat this location! If you're looking for fun things to do close by, check out Dave and Busters, the Columbiana Mall, and much more shopping on Harbison. Frankie's Fun Park is close by, as well. Beautiful Lake Murray has public access just a mile or two away, complete with a beach to hang out on during the summer months! Take a scenic walk over the Lake Murray dam (also about a mile away). For a scenic dinner, drive a short drive to Liberty on the Lake. It boasts great food, amazing sunset views, and a bar for your entertainment. Social Bar and Grille hosts karaoke nights and is a fun place to go! There's so much more to do, but these are a few of our faves!

What makes this property unique

This is a cute and rustic cabin. It is located in front of a field and underneath a huge pecan tree. So, it is a country home! Little critters are always around country fields, so always be on the lookout for those! Be sure you are looking for a rustic family friendly cabin experience when you book here! Cute as a button, it is decorated like a lake cabin and has tons of kitchen items. The home has a front porch, side porch (with seating) and a glassed in back porch with your washer and dryer, as well as a place to sit if you want. The firepit out back has a grill, patio and seating. The chicken coop is just a fun little addition to our property. There are no live chickens, just fun signs! At night, the landscape lighting offers a perfect retreat for sitting and roasting marshmallows with the kids or just chatting with your friends and family over a glass of wine. Very relaxing property! We know you will love it as much as we do!
