We love coming to Lake Murray! This lake house was absolutely idyllic! On a quiet point with beautiful views, nice breeze and lots of trees for shade. Plenty of space inside and out to stretch out and relax. The den with walls of windows felt like we were in a treehouse! Beds were comfortable, kitchen was stocked, master bath on the small side but it was fine. Caught fish off the dock and from the bridge. It was nice walking down the bridge to the island. We brought our boat along, a 23 ft Sea Pro deep V, center console. Driveway was a little tight to get down and turned around to get boat down ramp, plus with the slope and trees made it a little tricky but doable. Host was very responsive and super nice to talk too. We had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing your home!

Wonderful Lake Home

This is the quintessential lakefront stay. If you’re an avid bird watcher, it’s highly recommended as we saw bald eagles, hawks, egrets, herons, and migrations of Purple martins each evening (August only, I think?) You can tell this is a family home that has been cherished and holds years of, what I imagine, cherished memories. Thank you Margaret for your family’s hospitality, your responsiveness, and the perfect ambience for a family lake stay.

Nature at it’s best

Peaceful place with Great Lake view and access. A nature lovers heaven. We watched a doe and her two fawns wander by. Had to download app to help identify all the different birds we heard. The fishing, boating, and swimming is excellent right off the dock. And the house has all the comforts of home.

Family Getaway

Unique property on a unique Lake Murray lot... Our family loved the amazing lake views from the house, fishing from the bridge, using the available kayaks, and the large wrap-around deck was a great place to eat, play cards and just relax. The home is older, but it's mid-century charm, large stone fireplace and amazing window line made us all feel at home. Thank you for sharing your special property with us.

Amazing Property!

A rare gem! Our family loved your property so much! The porch, dock, and shaded yard were enjoyed by everyone. Our boat was scheduled to be repaired but wasn’t in time for our trip but we still enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board and swimming off the dock. When we booked I saw the reviews about the small bathrooms and was worried it would be an issue but it was no problem at all and we have 3 teenagers! Thank you for sharing your space with us.

Beautiful location with amazing views of the lake. We loved the dock walk to the island. Unfortunately it rained most of the trip so we weren’t able to take full advantage of the many amenities and lovely outdoor space. Thanks to fishing rods available, we were lucky to be able to do some fishing. We also enjoyed lots of bird watching.

When we walked into the house, we all said wow. The over 180 degree views outside the walls of windows was awesome. We were attending our daughter's graduation from USC and the house provided the perfect escape.

A Little Taste of Nastalgia

A memorable long weekend at the lake made better by this gem of a cabin - just like the cabins I stayed in as a kid. A well preserved house with plenty of space inside and out. We played in the water, enjoyed the views on the spacious deck, played games at the large table, and made & ate delicious meals. Would definitely stay again!!
