This is the 3nd visit we have made to Rick's place and it was great. We brought our boat up again and had a blast. We went out 4-5 hours every day. After a few days our 2 Labs finally got worn out from jumping of the dock and swimming back to the yard. When our stay was over Rick was nice enough to drive my truck to the boat landing and helped me load up the boat. We hope to come back again next year.

Owner response:Jim & Abby, I look forward to your visit each year. I especially enjoy your "girls", since I also own a Lab. I am sure they had a great vacation, and probably slept all the way home! I hope you will come back and visit with us again next year. Rick

The property is large, quiet and well maintained. The owner went out of his way to see that our stay was enjoyable. If you want to go Striper fishing, he is the man to call. My Grandkids said this vacation was the best and are ready to go back. I took my own boat and we spent a lot of time on the water. Lake Murry is beautiful. We will try to return again in the near future.

Owner response:I really enjoyed your visit, and your Grandson is a "quick study" as far as teaching him to land a good fish. I hope his leg heals properly, and he does not have future problems with it. I hope you will come back and visit with us next year.

Immediately upon arrival we could see the pictures were inaccurate. The place is poorly maintained, overgrown and the kitchen amenities were downright nasty! There were cobwebs and dead bugs all over the main door entrance to the cabin and outside porch. The covered carport had junk everywhere. The owner showed up several times unannounced and drove right across the property while we were outside drinking our morning coffee. The kitchen was the worst. We had to wash everything before we used it and the cooking implements were disgusting. I would not recommend staying there to anyone.

Owner response:In the past 10 years we have had over 350 guests visit our property, and this is the first negative response we have received. All of the inside photos were taken earlier this year. The dock photo is not current as we have replaced most of the treated lumber, upgraded the hand rails, and added a 12 foot market umbrella in place of the previous awning. We remove spider webs and blow off the carport and deck prior to each guest’s arrival. We try to touch base with our guests on a daily basis to see if they need anything. This guest said everything was fine, each time we checked with them. The carport has a grill, trash/recycle containers, spare propane tanks, 6 chairs, and a fishing rod rack. We also keep a spare boat battery, an extension cord, and spare life jackets on the carport. I did drive across the property one morning in my golf cart to check the trash can on the dock. We check all of the dishes, flatware, cooking utensils, and most of the pots & pans every week. Please read the rest of our Guest’s comments. We really strive to make all of our guests feel at home.

Once again, we had a great time. The kids, dog, friends, and me. Fishing is always excellent and secluded area made it great for the kids with the tube and jet ski's. We always look forward to going back. Rick is always a great host, and extremely helpful. Rick

I have stayed here twice and have enjoyed my stay each time. The description is right on and the property is clean. Customer service is the best you will find anywhere. This place has more lake front shore than you could possibly use. I think you will find a game called corn whole on the porch. This will occupy allot of your time.

Owner response:J Todd, Emily is a "keeper"!! Congratulations on your marriage! I wish your Dad and Mother had been able to come. They are "special people" and I value their friendship. I hope you will come back and visit with us again the next time you have a tournament at Lake Murray. Rick

We spent 2 1/2 months in SC coldest winter in decades at Rick's cottage. We loved the gas fireplace and Rick was right there with warm bedding and clothes for our dad to go fishing. For as cold as it was the fishing was great! We loved the area and are looking forward to returning next winter. We have never had such attention at a rental place. Each day Rick checked in on us and asked if we needed anything. Our springer was right at home in the large yard and loved Rick as well. Great guy and great place! You'll love it! We did!

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)

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.

I don't like to write, but for Rick I'll make an exception. I've owned property by Bowman for 10 years,I've fished the Santee Cooper for longer than that and I've always enjoyed it.I caught only 1 stripper in that time, it weighed around 7 1/2 pounds and was delicious,I've seen many lurking on someones wall in excess of 25 pounds but never caught one that size. This was the first time i've ever tried Lake Murray, and I really like it.When I dream about fishing, the water, the cabin, the weather,the fish.it's almost identicle to Rick's place.Rick's a veteran in so many ways,I first found that out when he called me after I e-mailed his listing,he did all he could to make sure we got there okay and that we were accomadated once we arrived,he taught us how to fish and where to fish, we didn't take any fish home because we ate them, about ten, except for Jerry's largemouth and Mike's crappie,I tried to tell Denise to mount her stripper and now she regrets that she didn't.the other two are at the taxidermist who Rick found us.I'm just sad I don't have my Stripper,it has to be 25 pounds plus for a mount,I did loose one that might have been that big! don't get me wrong, I am a sportsmen, if I shoot a deer and it's too small, I through it back.Just kidding peta! Rick was a great host and I consider a friend, I'm just trying to figure out how to get him and Randy to adopt me.Oh yea,the house and pier were great too, and Rick puts up with a lot.See you soon Rick.

My wife and I just got home from one of the best vacations we have had in a long time and Rick played a major role in seeing that happened. The cottage was so comfortable and the location was fantastic. The place is everything it is described to be on the web site and more. It is one of those places that hugs you when you walk in and lets you know you are welcome to be there. Rick went out of his way to make sure all was well with us and helped in so many ways. Right down to making sure everything was possible for our 5 year old grandson to catch his first fish and his papaw caught his first big striper. However, there is one time a year I would not recommend you try to stay here and that is the week my wife and I want the place. (Ha, Ha) Henry and Janet Columbus, OH

If you want a memorable family vacation this is it! We have 4 children and thoroughly enjoyed our week at Lake Murray. Highly recommend to rent a pontoon boat to top of the vacation. This property offers a backyard for fishing, toasting marshmallows at night, swimming in the lake, having outdoor picnics, etc. ~ For a real get away that you can make lasting memories for you and your family ~ This is it!

Hi Rick, We very much enjoyed your cottage and the use of your boats! The boys had a fun time waterskiing and tubeing. Your place is very peaceful and relaxing, and the lake is just beautiful. We had plenty of room for the whole crew and just about anything you need is there to use. We thank you for being so accommodating to our every need. You were so very helpful and we felt like we were visiting a good friend. We would love to come again in the future and catch some more of those fish! The couple the guys caught were delicious. If you're ever in the Cleveland area, let us know and we'll put a couple of beers on ice for you! Thanks again!!

If you want a memorable family vacation this is it! We have 4 children and thoroughly enjoyed our week at Lake Murray. Highly recommend to rent a pontoon boat to top of the vacation. This property offers a backyard for fishing, toasting marshmallows at night, swimming in the lake, having outdoor picnics, etc. ~ For a real get away that you can make lasting memories for you and your family ~ This is it!

Four of us old Ret Army Colonels spent a week at Rick's and had a BALL ! The accommodations were comfortable and the fishin' was wonderful. Rick went out of his way to make us feel at home, and we plan to "do it again", next Spring. Thanks, Rick !
