Perfect house for our family vacation. It was clean and very well stocked. We enjoyed the house games and many of the lake toys-knee board, kayaks, tube, trampoline float, fishing poles, firewood for the fire pit. Deep water to dock our boat. Tom, the host, was great to work with and all instructions were easy to follow. I can highly recommend this house if you are looking for a nice vacation on a beautiful lake!

A beautifully well-appointed house at a scenic location on Lake Murray that is great for family get-togethers. The beds are very comfortable and each bedroom has its own private bathroom. The kitchen has ample cooking utensils, dinnerware, and seating. The outdoor seating and firepit offer spacious opportunity for relaxation. The private pier and beach is great for fishing as well as launching kayaks, water boards, and soaking up sun.

We had a fabulous time here and we will be back again. The location at the lake cannot be beat and the views were stunning. Everything was clean and comfortable, and every need was provided for - throws and blankets, beach towels and chairs, games, etc. We especially enjoyed the front porch with the firepit and games!. Communication was excellent - if we had any question, the host responded immediately. Our family and friends loved every minute of our stay!

The house was beautifully decorated. They even put up Christmas decorations for us since our family was celebrating early. The house was plenty big for our extended family. All the beds were king size and very comfy. The outdoor area facing the water was fantastic! Our favorite place to relax and watch the gorgeous sunsets. Tom and Angie were fantastic and made the process of booking, checking in and departing super easy! We will definitely be back!
