About this property
Beautiful & Spacious with Hot Tub, Game Room & More. Large Yard Near the Dam!
Enjoy the full lake adventure which include 4 Kayaks, paddles and life jackets and MANY other included amenities.
Our property is a lake front paradise with almost 1 acre for your pleasure on Lake Murray, near the dam on the Lexington side. We are as close to Columbia and Lexington as you can possibly be on Lake Murray. Our LOCATION is 15 minutes from downtown Columbia and 5 minutes from Lexington and any kind of shopping you may need. Most of the other locations on Lake Murray are 45 minutes to an hour or more to Columbia and other attractions.
We are on a peninsula with lake views from almost every window. The second story makes for an expansive view and feeling, especially from your private upstairs deck. The lake front outside area consists of a swimming area with floats, lifejackets, beach chairs and fire pit with wood provided. As well as 3 decks, 1 dock, a cement launch area to enter the water and launch the Kayaks. We have a large, beautiful yard with swings, hammock, cornhole, croquet, bocce ball, kayaks, grills, tables and chairs along with big screen TV for the sports lover. What more can you ask for!

We will host boat outings for reasonable additional fees. My husband is a licensed Captain and we will take you out on a Sunset and or Purple Martin cruise as well as cruising around the dam or to any of the marinas and restaurants on the lake.
The Purple Martin Cruise is a once-in-a-lifetime viewing of purple martins at one of North America’s largest purple martin roosts. During summer evenings, hundreds of thousands of purple martins travel to the 12-acre Doolittle Island in Lake Murray to nest. This little island attracts hundreds of thousands of bird enthusiasts to witness this unparalleled event. We offer excursions to our guests for this cruise which include circling the island and then anchoring the boat swimming and floating in the water while the birds fly overhead and the sunsets. It is quite beautiful.
There are many good restaurants close by. Travinia's Italian Restaurant, O'Hara's Irish Pub, Keg Cowboy, Catch and many more. LJ's Par & Grill has good food and a driving range with live music most nights. Libby's is good for sandwiches and beer. Myobi's Junior Express Japanese is one of my favorites. Lizards Thicket is good for country cooking, breakfast, Lunch and dinner.
If you want any snacks or adult beverages. There is a Dollar General two blocks away and a Super Wal-Mart and all other stores are less than two miles. Lexington Discount Beverages have the best prices for adult beverages and it less that 2 miles away.
The use of the Kayaks are included at no fee.

About the host
Hosted by Kerri
I am self employed with a part time publishing/advertising business. My husband just retired from an Upholstery business in West Columbia which his father started in 1960. We both have grown up on or near the lake and it has been a part of our lives forever. I learned to water ski here when I was 7 years old. We met through our snow ski club many years ago.
We have grown children and grand children.

Why they chose this property
Our property is unique for many reasons.
The location is as close to Columbia and Lexington as you can be and still be on Lake Murray.
Our yard is beautiful with lush green grass and a variety of perennial flowers that bloom all through the spring and summer. Experience a once-in-a-lifetime viewing of purple martins at one of North America’s largest purple martin roosts. We offer excursions for this. Details in the description.

What makes this property unique
We decorate for Christmas. Our property is unique. It has more of a resort feel because it is a large piece of property with many amenities. The flowers and lush grass are special and have taken years to nourish. LOCATION: We are only minutes from Downtown Lexington, Columbia, Irmo and Ballentine. We have a mosquito service that makes a huge difference in the enjoyment of the outdoors. Plenty of trees for shaded areas to sit outside around the tables and chairs or swings and enjoy the nice breeze from the lake.
