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!

This place was fantastic! It was absolutely gorgeous and had everything my family needed for a 5-day stay. The hosts thought of everything- there were comfy blankets for chilly mornings on the porch, extra beanbag chairs for game nights in the living room, and the kitchen had everything for cooking, grilling, serving, etc. The entire place was clean and beautifully decorated. All bedrooms had their own bath and walk in closet, and there was a half bath in the main living area. The beds and linens were all very comfortable and all the guests slept very well. Even the dog had a blast (there was a toy chest of dog toys in the hall closet which he sniffed out right away)! My family had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay here again. Also, the sunsets and view were outstanding, as well as the hosts recommendations for places to eat and explore. The parking was ample and off street, and the hosts were very responsive to any questions. I can’t say enough good things about it- if you are looking for a place to stay, look no further! This is THE place!

Thank you so much for such an incredibly thoughtful and detailed review! Your kind words truly mean a lot to us. We are thrilled to hear that your family — and even your dog — had such a wonderful stay. We try very hard to think through the little details that help guests feel comfortable and at home, so hearing that the blankets, game night setup, kitchen supplies, and even the dog toy basket were appreciated absolutely makes our day. We’re also so glad everyone enjoyed the sunsets, lake views, and had the opportunity to explore the area. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and for treating our home so well during your stay. We would be honored to host you and your family again anytime! Tom & Angie
