Lori was very responsive and property was exactly as listed! Only difference was the gorgeous view was better in person. House was very clean and included everything we needed. Close to boat ramp and seconds from big water but tucked in secure cove.

Perfect Location!

The house was directly on Lake Murray, but close enough to Columbia to Uber/Lift into town. It was absolutely perfect with great views of the lake. The house was clean and inviting. The host was amazing! She responded immediately and was very accommodating. I would definitely rent it again.Thank you again!

Lake House visit

House was clean nicely finished, and perfect for my wife, myself and our large dog. Owner was nice, Dog friendly, helpful and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend this property for a group of four or less (Based on the size of the house.) and anyone with a dog. Also in the nice weather the deck on the lake and fire pit are a very nice touch.

What a great cottage on Lake Murray! This was our first time at the lake. Our son was on spring break from USC and we decided to take a short getaway with him before classes started again. The property was exceptionally clean. The kitchen was very conducive to cooking dinner- the host had a large assortment of pots/pans/spices and condiments (you don’t get that in many rentals.) The 3 major “selling” points were: the ridiculously large set of windows in the living room; the cozy front porch and the back yard/dock, all primed to watch the glorious lake and sunset. A great place to relax and enjoy nature, take a walk on the dam trail close by and just chill. The host, Lori could not have been a better communicator and host. Beds were very comfortable.

Good place

Everything went smoothly checking in & out. That king sized bed was REALLY high lol. There was a very unusual hum about 3:00 AM & then again at 5:00 AM that woke me & the dog up. Not sure what it was or where it was coming from. Was loudest in the kitchen area. Nice outdoor areas. Very well equipped. Thanks for letting us stay there

Response from VrboOwner on 5 May, 2025
Good morning. The bed is high my apologies. Looking at getting a new one. The noise was most likely my engineered septic system outside by the kitchen window. I heard we had a lot of rain and if that happens sometimes it will go off. I am so sorry it woke y’all up. Thank you for leaving the house immaculate. Hope y’all come back.
