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.

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.

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!
