Outstanding Host and Property

I stayed at the property for a large fishing tournament. The boat ramp in the back made it a great place to stay. The grass didn't hold up during the rain but our host coordinated with the folks next door and they allowed me to use their ramp the rest of the week. The house was clean and quiet. I really was gone most of the day at 4 am and back in the evening so I can't comment more. I would not hesitate to stay again. If I have to give my money to a business or rental I do not mind at all giving it to people as wonderful as our host!!! Thank you for a great stay!

Fishing trip

Great place on the lake. The owners were very accommodating and quickly responded to all questions. Our stay was during Helene and the only issues were loss of power for 2 days. The house was one that had power restored quickly.

Fantastic

This property fit us perfectly. The property gently sloped down to the dock.. The dock accommodated our 4 jet skis. We had a great time swimming off the dock. The dock area was pretty sheltered so there was no concern of the jet skis getting pushed around. Fuel was readily avail across the bigger bay and The state park. The ramp was functional and easy to use to load and unload. The house was very clan and included everything you would expect. There was plenty of room for 4 adults and the seating was very comfortable. The beds were very comfortable and the two bathrooms were updated and very nice. We used the large rear porch most of the time. TV and internet were very good. The owners were excellent to deal with and very attentive to make sure we were happy and comfortable. We will definitely be back. exceed our expectations at ever level. .

Wonderful

We enjoyed our stay! It was wonderful. Pictures of the house do not do it justice. House was more spacious than expected. Location to town was a short drive. The kids loved the amenities provided (paddle boards and paddle boat). And the owner was responsive and tentative to our needs. Highly recommend this place.

Comfortable house on the water

We decided to take a last minute trip to the lake, and this property turned out to be the perfect choice. It's easy to get to and the house was exactly as advertised. It's an easy walk down to the dock, and we had fun out on the water all week long. The kitchen is well-equipped, the beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were nicely updated. Just watch out for ants in the yard.

Great Family Vacation

This is the second time that we have stayed here. It is clean and comfortable. It is a great location in a quiet cove for swimming. Plus, a dock for a boat. The house had plenty of spce for my family of eight. My adult kids loved cooking in the kitchen. The owners are friendly and easy to work with.

Wonderful Property/Amazing Stay

Kimberly's property is located on a quiet serene spot at the end of the lake. Morning coffee on the pier and afternoon happy hours with my two best friends was the highlight of the day. The property was clean, well kept and big enough for the three of us to have our separate spaces and not get on each other's nerves for the week! Dining out on other spots on the lake was a delight as well. Kimberly was easy to contact and very responsive. I'd do it again next week if I could! Certainly plan to return.

Covid Friendly Easter Retreat

My daughter is a freshman at UofSC and they had no days off around Easter. So we decided to come to Columbia and host Easter down there. We wanted a location with a sizable deck so she can bring friends who also wouldn't be with family during the holiday. I corresponded with the hosts of a couple VRBO properties and Kimberly was by far the most responsive and accommodating. The property, which a bit far from UofSC (prob 40 mins) was in a lovely location and great views. The deck was large enough to host ten or so folks for Easter dinner. The kitchen was large enough (and well stocked enough) to cook for this large a party. While the home is older (and I would not consider it fancy) and had minor fit and finish issues, its generally maintained well.
