Fishing tournament retreat

My husband and I brought our 13 year old grandson to Lake Murray for a fishing tournament. We found this gem only a few minutes from Dreher Island State Park where the tournament was held. It was perfect. Large open living area with big kitchen. A hammock for a lazy afternoon nap. A private boat dock so that my husband could fish easily. Nice deck to enjoy morning coffee. Everything was just as advertised. Michael was a very responsive host. Answering our pre-visit questions and during visit questions promptly. Highly recommend.
