Great home and location

We stayed here as a layover spot on the way to the Outer Banks. The home was definitely well equipped and comfortable for what we needed. The owner was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with. It was a good location to visit the lake or town. I would definitely recommend this home!

Everything we needed

The house includes everything you need, whether it is the grill, the tools for the grill, cookies upon arrival, quiet neighborhood, excellent access to the lake across the street, fans, extension cords, a pantry that included so many things you don't think you'll need... I could go on but it really was convenient and accommodating! Thank you

So CLEAN & so well stocked

We have stayed in so many vacay rentals over the years from coast to coast and this is by far the best one yet! The house was extremely clean, host was so very nice, and the house was so very well stocked. We will definitely be back when in the area.

We had the most incredible stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and even better than the photos. Every little detail was thoughtfully considered — from the cozy linens and fully stocked kitchen to the welcoming touches like fresh cookies waiting for us.The location couldn’t have been more perfect — able to go for walks during the day around the circle and so close to our family on Lake Murray. The house felt tucked away enough to feel completely private and peaceful. We especially loved relaxing on the deck in the evenings, watching the sunset and listening to the sounds of nature.The host was absolutely wonderful — responsive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best stay possible. Communication was clear and easy, and check-in/check-out were seamless.We’ve stayed in quite a few vacation rentals, but this one truly stands out. It felt like a home away from home — only better! We can’t wait to come back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a five-star experience. Comfy beds, great water pressure and just a wonderful cozy stay! We will be back :)

The house is kept so neatly and in such order. We had a very relaxing time and were able to easily feel at home here! This was probably the most comfortable, clean accomodation with every convenience/amenity thought through and provided (and we've lived and traveled all over the world). It exceeded our expectations!
