Wonderful cottage. This was our 3rd stay there. It has a wonderful lake front fenced yard for dogs. Nice dock for fishing. The kitchen has everything needed to cook meals. We enjoyed watching deer from the screened porch in the back yard before sunrise. Very quiet location.

The cottage itself was cute but small. It had all the nessescities except for a decent frying pan. The fenced in dog area was definitely a plus. The only negatives we have is that the water was extremely low and murky and the property was right near a busy corner. We didn't even want to swim. The view the was very good however.

A wonderful getaway!! The cottage is well laid out and stocked with EVERYTHING including lake toys and floaties. It was clean and comfortable. Candy was very prompt in communicating and check in and check out was a breeze. We thoroughly enjoyed our little break here. It was so quiet and relaxing. We even had several appearance from a small family of deer (including babies) Thank you for opening your home to us!

This cute little cottage was perfect for us to spend time at Lake Murray doing some spring fishing. It is a beautiful neighborhood with a great dock and boat ramp. It is close to stores and restaurants but feels secluded and peaceful. Candy is a great hostess providing all you need to enjoy your stay.

Short fishing trip.

Great place and surrounding people. Fishing was not the best, but still a good trip away from home.

Wonderful Lakefront Cottage!

This cottage was perfect for our South Carolina visit to attend a family wedding nearby. Very comfortable with a nice screened porch on the waterside. We brought a kayak so we also enjoyed paddling on the lake. Highly recommend!
