So happy to hear you enjoyed the views and the quiet, private location — that’s exactly what makes Bloomingails special! We hope to have the opportunity to host you again!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our short get away. Beautiful views, and comfortable furnishings. Enjoyed a quieter part of the lake than we are used to and the host was very responsive. I’m sure we will be back!
Beautiful home, had a great time. Loved the history of the house. We cooked a lot and the grill and kitchen was very accommodating.

We had an excellent stay in this home on Lake Murray. We have rented many homes on the lake and this is definitely one of the best available. The owner was great to work with, and very responsive to our requests. We will absolutely rent this home again in the future.

*Oh, and more than welcome with the grill!
This home on the lake was a perfect location for a quiet, calm, and relaxing time for one of our summer trips. Our family enjoyed porch time lakeside daily and boating as well. The town of Newberry was a lovely outing too. We would love to visit this home and Lake Murray again!

Hello Joanne! The porch is our absolute favorite spot so no surprise to hear you all enjoyed it as well! Bloomingails looks forward to hosting you again!
We had a wonderful stay! We loved the screen porch, being lazy floating on the water, and enjoying our time together. The house had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable, and Leah responded to our questions right away. We all said we would love to stay here again.

What an amazing property. Very well maintained and cleaned. Perfect location. Everything was just as beautiful as described. Leah was a fantastic host and helped my elderly parents by remote unlocking the doors when they struggled with the lock box. We will be booking here again!

We enjoyed this beautiful home on the lake. Although this weekend was rainy and cold, we found comfort being with family and playing games looking out to the lake. When the weather cleared, we rented a boat and jet skis and explored the lake more. The home is in a nice neighborhood we took walks, met neighbors and everyone was so nice and friendly. I would recommend this VRBO!

So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Bloomingails! I hate the weather didn't cooperate but it sounds as though you all had a lovely time in spite and were able to get some sun and fun in on the lake. I have to agree that the neighborhood AND neighbors are the icing on the cake to our little piece of paradise! Thank you again and I hope we have the ability to host you again!
This property was fantastic and exactly as described. Leah was fantastic throughout the entire process and very attentive to any questions, etc. Property was maintained well and well stocked for a lengthy stay. I stayed in this home for 30 days and had no major issues. Overall I would give this property an A+.

Thank you for your wonderful review Chris and we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your visit! We appreciate your taking such great care of the home and generally just being a joy to host. We hope to have the opportunity for you to visit again! Thank you! Leah
Great location! Quiet neighborhood. House has enough bedrooms for small gathering of family members. Love the inclusion of a regular coffee pot and the crock pot. Many household items are provided with which to make a meal - just bring the food. Nice dock to fish from or relax on while watching a beautiful sunrise.
Room to improve: covers for living room furniture
Overall impression: would visit again

Thanks for the review! We have tried to make the home as relaxing as possible with all the amenities one would have in their own home so thank you for letting us know those were appreciated! And we actually JUST ordered slip covers but unfortunately were not able to get them on before your visit, but you are correct in their being something that would be a good idea. Thank you again for the review and we welcome hosting you and your guests again! Hope your holidays are happy and safe :)
Stayed here for 7 nights with my wife and two daughters 12 & 9. The property was amazing, exactly as described but better. This charming retreat is 5 miles from the nearest convenience store. The host was extremely detailed, we had no questions. Peaceful quiet location with plenty of run ways to enjoy discovering this awesome Lake, or just swimming off the dock. I can’t say enough great things about this property. We loved it and hope to be back soon.

David, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are always so happy to hear and read when a guest has enjoyed their stay and soaked in all the property and view has to offer! Our goal is for guests to build lasting memories at Bloomingails and it sounds like you did! Thank you and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again!
Our family of 4 had a perfect week at this property. We were looking for a quiet, peaceful place on the water and this was 100% what we were looking for. The screened-in porch was perfect for enjoying coffee in the morning or reading during the day. My husband and boys loved fishing off the dock. The house was so spacious and absolutely homey and cozy. The host was quick to respond to any questions I had. We did rent a boat for one day and the company delivered to the property's dock which was so convenient. Definitely want to go back again!

Hi Ann! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Bloomingail's and it was everything you were looking for in a getaway. We look forward to hosting you and your family again!
This was an amazing home! The home was stocked with everything you could ever need...2 coffee makers, pots, pans, dishes, silverware, potholders, trash bags...just everything. There were plenty of bath towels for all rooms. The beds were soooo comfortable! Nice decor and clean furniture. There was a large round table in the kitchen for sitting around for dinner and cards. There was a gas grill. There is a large private floating dock with plenty of room to fish. The view from the dock is so serial. Communication with the owner, Leah, was so comforting. She was so kind and patient with all my questions. The process to check in and out was easy. My overall experience was A. This house felt like a home!

About the host
Hosted by Leah
Hi! I'm Leah, and this charming home and property was owned and cherished by my mother, Gail (hence the name!). As I've shared with many, she had a passion for all things "blooming" and was an enthusiastic gardener. Although I've lived in various places, I consider this area my true "home." Bloomingail's represents our little piece of paradise and tranquility, and we find joy in sharing its beauty and serenity with others!
Why they chose this property
Since the 1960s, this property has been an integral part of our family with weekend camping trips to the property. The home that sits on the property now was constructed in 1999. Countless weekends and holidays have been shared here, creating enduring memories. From boating and jet-skiing to tubing and swimming, every lake activity has left its mark on this special place. Our mother took immense joy in opening up this beautiful space to anyone willing to spend time here. Recognizing her good fortune, she considered this place a true "home" and desired to extend that sense of blessing to others. In accordance with her wishes, we aim to share her "happy place" with others, confident that they will come to love it as much as we always have!
What makes this property unique
Resting on a meticulously landscaped property, the house offers scenic views of over 125ft along the enchanting Lake Murray shoreline. Positioned near a point and complemented by the circular drive, this spot is ideal for families, eliminating concerns about traffic for little ones on bikes, trikes, or scooters.
