We had an amazing week staying with our friends. The house was outstanding, with beautiful views, and a great location on the lake. We were so grateful that our dogs were welcomed. Very well stocked with everything you could possibly need, and very spacious. Everyone had plenty of space for themselves, and plenty of room for us to gather after a fun day on the lake. We had 2 boats and 2 jet skis, the dock was a little crowded! Parking was a little tricky with 3-trucks w/trailers and another vehicle. The hosts are very mindful of you from the beginning to the end of your stay.

Wedding in Columbia/family weekend

Lovely home. It's great for larger groups or several family members together because each bedroom is en suite (even the bunk room). There were only 7 of us, but the house can accommodate more people

Cozy home for family bonding!

The home was well equipped with everything we needed and more to spend quality time gathering with family - both inside and outside the home in the spacious backyard and patio areas. Thank you to the Nykamp family for not just opening their home, but ensuring all amenities were well stocked so we didn’t have to worry about anything beyond our basic needs and enjoying each other. I also appreciate their responsiveness when contacted about anything regarding the home.

Lovely home

Our stay was wonderful until Hurricane Helene decided to pay us a visit. The home is beautiful and the lake is gorgeous. Power was lost and we had to leave early. The owner stayed in contact with us and was incredibly gracious and was concerned for all of us. I would definitely return for another visit.

Better Than the Photos

This beautiful home was everything we needed for our Thanksgiving family gathering. Every bedroom has an en suite bath, kitchen is fully stocked with equipment, utensils, etc. (I always bring a couple of favorite pans to rentals, but never needed them.)The lake view is better than the photos, as the lot faces the widest part of Lake Murray. Large back yard for kids and a large dock (bring a light tackle rod and a couple of lures). Tom, the host, is THE BEST. This VRBO gets an A+++
