  • My wife and I surely enjoyed our stay at Ricks. The AC was on and the TV was tuned to the football game. I knew I was going to have a great week. Before I knew it Rick was there to answer all of our questions. After we got settled in he also took me to the boat ramp and drove my truck back to the house while I drove the boat back to our dock. I'm you other wives know what a marriage saver that can be. The rest of the was just more of the same.We could not have been happier and we will return.

    Hello Rick, Thanks so much for our wonderful stay in the cottage at Lake Murray. Never have we had accommodations so complete. Not knowing what to expect for our first visit, we packed everything. We never unpacked anything but the food we brought. It seemed someone had left the cottage for perhaps a trip to town and we just moved in. You were the greatest host- providing fishing information and giving us hints about where on the lake to fish. Since this was our first time on the lake, the information and maps you shared with us were invaluable. We were sure to find fish. While the weather was not the best, we had a blast. We fished day and night and in the rain; but, what's a little rain? The striper fishing trip with you was awesome even in 4-foot waves and 15 mph winds. You made every effort to ensure we caught fish --- and we certainly did. You were so considerate to leave the cart for us to drive. It was such a help. Thanks also for allowing our dog Ginger to stay with us. She had a great time and loved being on the dock. Rick, we are so looking forward to returning soon. Our trip to your cottage was one of the best vacations we have ever taken and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to visit. Regards, Joe and Jean Edgemoor, SC

    Rick & Randy, We have had a wonderful week! Your lake house has been perfect for our families. The boys and Callie have LOVED the dock, which they fished from EVERY day! We adults have enjoyed the rest and relaxation (much needed) your place has provided. We cannot thank you enough for taking the boys Striper Fishing - that was an experience they will NEVER forget! Your hospitality and patience has been much appreciated. We look forward to spending time here again! Thanks again, The Herring & Rowe Families

  • Each year we have a Five Brothers Reunion somewhere in the U.S. to fish, play cards and catch up on our lives. This year we met at Rick's Lake Murray Cottage and had a great time. Captain Rick took us out to show us where and how to fish for Stripers. He's a great teacher because we caught plenty of fish afterwards. This is a fantastic lake with a lot of nice fish, clean water and pretty shorelines. So the fishing part of our annual reunion was a big success. The accomodations were an equal success with lots of room for sleeping and lounging around inside, out on the deck or down at the dock. We had such a great time we are planning to be back next year.

  • The location was beautiful and the house easily fit 8 people. We enjoyed sitting on the dock at night with a citronella candle. We've never seen a home more carefully tended, as we saw Rick almost every day! The highlight of the visit was the pontoon with the tube. We had a fun time out on the lake. I only wish we could have caught more fish.

  • My wife and I had a wonderful time at what we call "the lake cottage." I especially enjoyed the fishing time and catches with Rick--it was fun, reasonable and successful. He knows where the fish are likely to be! My wife especially appreciated the cleanliness of the cottage. This is a great opportunity to visit our young grandchildren, they loved it there too.We plan to return next year.

  • Thank you very much for sharing your expertise in striper fishing. The four of us enjoyed the fishing. (Though the catching might have been better--oh well, that's the way with fish!!) The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. The pontoon worked flawlessly, but in retrospect, I should have reserved the big jon boat. It is more maneuverable. We could have done some bass fishing. We might try to schedule some time later this year or next. Thanks again. Bill

  • For the 10 years we've been married, my husband and I have gone to the beach for our vacations. My husband, Steve, loves to fish, so I thought, I'd be a good wife and we could spend a week fishing and I could probably stand it. I found Rick's fantasic lakefront property on line and let me tell you - I had one of my best vacations ever! The house was perfect..it had everything anyone could need in a home, as well as a beautiful view of the lake. We fished for largemouths almost all day everyday,and although I didn't catch much, just being on that beautiful lake was so awesome! Steve did catch plenty and he was in Heaven! The weather was perfect too. One day we rented the pontoon boat - what a great day that was on the lake! But I have to say, the highlight of the whole week for me was when Rick took us out stripper fishing.(And he even cleaned out fish) I had a blast!! AND I caught the biggest fish of all (true story). I can't say enough about Rick. As soon as you meet him, you feel like you've been friends for years. He was fun, helpful, and did everything to make sure we were comfortable and had a good time. If you want a perfect, relaxing vacation, you just HAVE to stay in one of Rick's lake houses. I can't describe how wonderfuld Rick, the house, the lake and whole experience was. Steve is already talking about when we go back, and believe me - we will go back! Thanks for everything Rick. Hope all is well with you and Randi.

  • We had a wonderful time at your Lake Home in July this summer. I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was, and how it felt like a home away from home. Two weeks just didn't seem long enough. We look forward to returning again someday. ~The Duncan Gang~ Bill, Laurie, Amanda, Nick, Steven, & even Casey (who loved to jump from the dock)

  • Rick: Thanks again for a wonderful stay at Lake Murray. The "Big" house was comfortable, clean and well supplied with all the amenities and sundry items we could ask for or need. Like you say, just bring yourself and a grocery bag and everything is here for your enjoyment. The property is quiet and peaceful for a relaxing week of R&R. We look forward to vacationing at Burkes Landing again next year!

    Bill, I always enjoy your family's visit and I hope you continue to return. Your wife leaves my house in excellent condition, and I always tell my wife and cleaning service "we won't have to do much with this one!". Hope you have a great year and fuel prices come down some! Best to you and yours, Rick
