We had an incredible time at this lakehouse! The property was completely immaculate upon arrival, and being right on the water made for a spectacular vacation. What truly sets this rental apart is the owner—they were extremely responsive and incredibly friendly throughout our entire stay. It's rare to find a place that feels this well-cared-for and a host this accommodating. We will definitely look at making a return trip!

The home itself was clean and well stocked with extremely comfortable beds. The view is absolutely stunning as well. I have a dog and its a great neighborhood to walk your dog in. We had the pleasure of meeting the hosts and they were so nice and accommodating. I HIGHLY reccomend this place. I have family in the area and they were able to come there to see us and my grand and i made use of the beautiful lawn and we played in the lake. My family and i will definitely be back. We felt like it was our home away from home. If you are looking for a cozy retreat that is centrally located i recommend givibg this place a try. We will be back soon. Thank you

Lori was very responsive and property was exactly as listed! Only difference was the gorgeous view was better in person. House was very clean and included everything we needed. Close to boat ramp and seconds from big water but tucked in secure cove.

Perfect Location!

The house was directly on Lake Murray, but close enough to Columbia to Uber/Lift into town. It was absolutely perfect with great views of the lake. The house was clean and inviting. The host was amazing! She responded immediately and was very accommodating. I would definitely rent it again.Thank you again!
