Great Lake House with View

We loved the lake, the house, the deck, the view -- everything! It is by far the best vacation rental we've ever had, and we have stayed in condos in Colorado and many states in between. If you can get this booking, take it, so you can enjoy the lake views, too.

Just Amazing!

This is my third stay at this location and I’ve loved it every time. It is more beautiful in person than the pictures show. It is quiet, secluded, clean and so relaxing! David, the host, is one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. He is always responsive to texts and calls, and is a pleasure to talk to.

Great get away

Property is better than advertised. Very comfortable, great views and welcoming. Very nice property for one or two couples. Coffee on the dock in the morning is hard to beat. Mentioned and showed the unit to some “locals”. They thought it was a real find

Great vacation lake house

Located within 20-30 minutes of many restaurants and shopping. Just 10 minutes from 378 Bar & Grill (good food). Short ride across the lake to Dreher Island for short hikes if interested. Also, the neighbor is safe and is great for walking. Although we were there on July 4th, the lake was not crowded. The home was very clean and stocked with all we needed for our stay. The private dock was awesome. We only had to put our boat in once and left it tied up at the dock our entire stay until ready to come home. David is an awesome host and was always available before and during our stay! Thank you David!!! Great place to kick back and just relax.

The lakefront retreat was great! We loved the view of the lake through the large windows in every room and spending time on the dock in the back. The property was outfitted with everything we needed for our stay. The mattresses were wonderful. The power pole in the back "yard" was perfect for charging our boat batteries every night and getting our boat in and out of the property was a breeze. Everything about it was perfect for our stay.

Perfect Getaway on Lake Murray!

We absolutely loved our stay! The house and location are both wonderful — peaceful, quiet, and perfect for a relaxing vacation. The sunsets over Lake Murray were absolutely stunning, and we really enjoyed watching the boats go by each day. We also saw plenty of birds and deer, which made the experience even more special. The neighborhood is quiet and serene, just what we were looking for.The host was very kind and had excellent communication throughout our stay. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. We can’t wait to come back again — already looking forward to our next visit!
