Perfect Stay

The property and location was perfect for our week at Lake Murray for my husbands fishing tournament. The home had everything we expected and more. I worked remote for the week and my "office" on the screen porch was just perfect. The view is priceless!Lauren and Scott are great host.We will certainly stay there again when we go back.

Everything was as we expected. Very clean, lots of room. Location was perfect. We had our boat and was able to launch right at the house so that was great. Spent our evenings looking at the lake and the stars.

Great View

We stayed for a fishing tournament. Host was very helpful regarding boat parking. House is on a flat spacious lot with a great view of Lake Murray. There was a minor Heat/AC issue when we arrived but the host got it resolved as quickly as possible.

This property was fantastic! It was too cold to enjoy any lake activities this trip, but we have already talked about going back to enjoy all the lake has to offer in the summer! The house is great, and very family friendly. The host was very responsive and quick to accommodate us and make our stay perfect. I have already recommended this property to friends and family!

Long weekend getaway/house hunting

We wanted to check out South Carolina as a possible destination to visit and/or move when a house came up for sale that was a possibility. We found this VRBO available; contacted the owner & had a very easy time obtaining accommodations which were a serene setting and a much needed laid back change of pace allowing for a mental and physical recharge with the Canadian geese, egrets and space to walk our dogs with room to breathe! I can not thank them enough for allowing us to visit their little slice of heaven! I would definitely stay here again! Five Stars rating for the serenity!

Private and Relaxing

Fabulous stay in a cozy and private location. Beautiful views with abundant wildlife on the property (deer, water fowl). Nice beach to launch one of the supplied kayaks. On a quiet part of the lake, that did not have much boat traffic, thus making kayaking all the more enjoyable. The home was very clean and well stocked. The owners were very communicative and provided helpful information about the area. Hoping to stay here again in the future!

Relaxing get-away

Spent the Memorial weekend at this little piece of paradise. Wonderful escape. The weather didn’t cooperate as we wanted but watching nature while sitting in the screen porch was Heaven. Would highly recommend this spot again and again.

Peaceful cottage

We had a relaxing stay at this quaint little cottage! The views from both the porch and water’s edge chairs were so peaceful. The temperature wasn’t quite warm enough for the standup paddle boards but we did enjoy the kayaks. The cottage had everything we needed for our short stay. The owners were quick to respond to our messages. Thanks for sharing your home!

Amazing property for families and dogs

My daughter and I and our two dogs loved our time at this property. This is a great property for adults, kids and dogs. The large yard, beach and dock were wonderful. We spent a lot of time on the paddle boards with our dogs and fishing from shore and the dock. The house was perfect...laundry right off the bathroom, comfortable beds and the screened in porch with great views. Lauren and Scott were great to work with and really are about their guests. We hope to come back and stay even longer.

Perfect get away!

If youre needing somewhere to go and get away for awhile, this place is perfect. Mornings on the screened in porch with coffee and nights by the fire will take care of the stress. Having the boat launch beside the dock was a huge plus. We took advantage of being able to leave our boat tied out all week and not having to trailer it everyday back and forth. This place is a must if youre needing to unwind or wanting to fish! Cant wait to go back.

Our Stay

There was goose poop all over the yard, and the grass needed to be cut. The beach area hasn’t been kept up that well. Other than that we had a great time at this property. It was quite and peaceful. It had kayaks and we were really happy with being on the lake with them. Overall stay was great.

Wonderful Weekend!!!

My Family and I came down for the weekend because I was fishing in a bass tournament. We had a great relaxing weekend! The home was everything we were expecting and more. We relaxed out side by the fire pit and had S’mores! They even left treats for our six month old puppy!!! I would definitely recommend this home to anyone and I’ll definitely try to stay here again next time I’m here! Thanks Lauren!!!!

Lakeside Oasis

We had a great experience. All the amenities were perfect. We were very grateful the house is truly pet friendly. The cove is quiet and the view was perfect off the porch. It was awesome seeing all the wildlife. The only improvement we might add is more air flow on the porch and maybe an adult outdoor game. The lawn is perfect for them. Thank you for sharing your home. It was just what we needed.

Just as great as we remembered

Repeat visitors and our stay was just as great as it was last year. Arrived to a freshly cut yard, clean house, and a million dollar view! House was equipped with everything we needed. We cooked most of the nights (and had all of the cookware/utensils we needed) but there was a great Mexican restaurant 4 miles/8 min down the road we called for take out one night. Dock and ramp for the boat was in great shape. Large screened porch with comfortable seating, perfect for morning coffee or a night cap. The house and yard are truly pet friendly. Huge yard for our two dogs to do full zoomies, fetches in the water, and nap in the sun. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Perfect Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home is located in a quiet location that offers incredible lake views. Perfect cove to take advantage of the kayaks and paddle boards without heavy boat traffic and waves. The house was very clean and offered everything we needed for our stay. Very large lot that was great for our dogs and the dock was in great shape that accommodated our 23’ boat with no issues. Our boat / trailer was probably a little to big for the on-site ramp so we utilized the ramp at Dreher Island State Park which is less than 10 min away. Thank you for sharing your home and allowing us to have our dogs. We would definitely recommend and look forward to returning in the future.

Just Lovely

This is a lovely property owned by lovely people. Perfect for a family, the property itself was well-stocked with every conceivable thing to make time at the lake enjoyable. Even in bad weather the screened porch allowed us to watch Mother Nature do her thing from a safe position. The area is tucked away from town, but you are close enough to run back easily for groceries, etc. It is the perfect setting: Quiet and peaceful, but not too far from amenities should you need them. We had the opportunity to chat with one host and meet the other, and these are truly wonderful people. Our only regret was not staying longer. Thanks for a wonderful time!

Wonderful stay!

We spent 3 weeks at the cottage on the amazing Lake Murray! We came from Michigan with a bass boat and a 12 year old Weimaraner Niki seeking sunshine while working remote. The cottage is exactly as described, comfortable, clean, kitchen is well equipped. Internet is great, never had an issue. The lake front property is big compared to typical lake lots. Lauren and Scott are great hosts, always available if you have a question. Thank you for the generous pet policy! Niki enjoyed the space and swimming in the lake…in March! We would love to come back. Near by in Chapin, 17 min away, there are plenty of shops and restaurants. However, when you are at the cottage, you are in the country. It was wonderful to watch ospreys fishing and listening to the birds signing every morning!

Good Times

Where to begin…this place was perfect for our visit. Arrived to a VERY clean home. The grass was cut. We had our two dogs with us. The yard was largely surrounded by water, so a good boundary for them to wonder but not get far or out of sight. The view from the yard and porch couldn’t be any better, tucked away but lovely views to the larger open water. Fun wildlife sightseeing too with deer, ducks, geese, and herons. Dock was in great condition, and ramp made it easy to put a boat in. Kept it in all week and easy to get out our last night. We didn’t take advantage of all of the other toys like kayaks and SUPs but this would have been a great location to use them. House was stocked with all the things we could need. Coffee maker (Keurig and carafe style), plenty of cookware, blender, grilling items, paper/tissue products, laundry soap, etc… House location was tucked away from town but close enough that we could run to the Lowe’s or Publix for any items. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Fabulous lake home for relaxing week away!

This adorable lake cottage is situated on a large piece of land surrounded by water on 2.5 sides with big water views. The dock is in a perfect cove that has deeper water, but isn't in a high boat traffic area. The home itself was the perfect size for our family of 4 and 2 small dogs. The best feature is the large screened porch. We spent almost all of our time there when we weren't outside in the sun and water. The 2 kayaks and 2 paddle boards were a hit with our family and with multiple coves nearby, there was a lot of exploring our kids could do safely. There was also a lot of wildlife. A beautiful grey heron visited almost daily, there were geese, mallards, even a snow goose, we saw gar swimming around and we caught a good many brim and catfish during our stay. It's hard to explain, but even though the property is so open to the water, it's extremely private. The home was obviously well cared for. It was also well stocked with a couple of sweet surprises we didn't expect, like the smores kit and Keurig kpods. Lauren was super friendly and great to deal with. If only we could have stayed another week! We had a blast and will definitely be returning!
