There is a doorbell camera to the left of the front door pointing at the door and porch. There are also 2 Wyze cameras, one at the front porch and the other at the back porch.

LAKE MURRAY WATER LEVELS IN THE WINTER MONTHS:
During the winter months, Lake Murray is subject to a scheduled draw-down to support water-quality and shoreline management efforts. For example, the operator plans to lower the lake to about 350 feet elevation (about eight feet below full pool) in early December and then allow it to rise again later. Under “normal” fall/winter conditions (outside of special draw-downs) the lake level is often around 355 feet above sea level, compared to a full-pool elevation near 360 feet.
The maximum occupancy that is shown in the listing includes any and all visitors that will be at the home. Over-occupancy or unauthorized events will result in IMMEDIATE eviction without refund. Any guest who refuses to vacate when instructed will be treated as a trespasser.

No parties, events, or gatherings over the listed occupancy are allowed under any circumstances. Bookings made under false pretenses will be denied access with no refund. You must be 25 years of age or older in order to book one of our homes.

Perfect weekend getaway

Spent a long weekend for Father's Day and it was perfect. The house was exactly as described and is gorgeous. I will definitely rent again. The only thing missing is an outdoor grill.
