A cute place in a nice quiet area

We enjoyed our stay here. The house was well kept and equipped to easily cook meals. Our communication with the homeowner was amazing! She responded quickly and was more than willing to help when we needed to reschedule.

Interesting little place.

Like a lot of lake Murray homes are jammed in everywhere. This one had goats and chickens up the street a bit. The house was very clean. The hostess answered all my questions promptly. We brought our bass boat that is a single axle. I don’t believe you could maneuver a tandem trailer in the confines of the boat ramp and covering . One bed had a very squeaky bed. Bring your own ice. The ice maker wasn’t on. Overall though a nice little place.
