About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Retreat at Vansant

Located in a prime waterfront location on the shores of beautiful Lake Murray, this stunning home offers the ultimate vacation experience. With a private dock, kayaks, SUPs, fire-pit, luxury grilling station, and an Arcade machine, this home has everything the family could want! While staying on the property you`ll have plenty of opportunities to soak up the sun and take a dip in the emerald waters of Lake Murray.



The Hot Tub is available from September 15th - May 1st. We do not allow guests to use the hot tub in the summer due to Green Algae contamination from the Lake, It would not be possible to maintain water clarity and proper chemical balances during the summer months. Trust us, we`ve tried it and it doesn`t work!



The home is nestled in a peaceful cove right near the access to big water on the Lake. Your family will love fishing off the dock, relaxing on a tube in the cove, or leaving your boat at the dock. This home is just over 20 minutes to downtown Lexington which is home to nightlife, the icehouse amphitheater and much more!



Step inside this beautifully decorated and fully equipped home and you`ll find everything you need for a comfortable and luxurious stay. The living area features cozy furnishings and a flat-screen TV, perfect for movie nights or simply lounging around. The modern kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials and offers ample space for preparing meals. Enjoy your meals at the dining table or take them outside to the spacious deck with stunning lake views.



The real highlight of this home is the outdoor space. Relax and unwind in the hot tub while taking in the beautiful views of the lake and surrounding nature. Take a paddle on the SUPs provided or spend the day lounging on the private dock. This home truly has it all for the ultimate lakefront getaway.



Don`t miss out on this opportunity to experience a true waterfront retreat. Book your stay now and get ready for a memorable vacation filled with fun, relaxation, and stunning views.



*Please note, there is a non-working, dummy camera outside of the home pointed at the door to the garage. There is also a pet fee of $125 for this property which is not easily found through some systems. If you are bringing pets just notify the property manager so they can properly charge the pet fee.



The home is a short drive to the local boat ramp (Acapulco USA) which is also home to LakeMurrayBoatRentals.com which offers a fleet of tri-toon boats and center consoles.

Everything about the house was great! Very clean and plenty of stuff to do if you don’t have a boat for the lake. Hot tub was awesome and with the view of the lake it was incredible.

Spacious and clean. Everything was as expected. Only negative was a long rock road coming off the paved Hwy. We have bass boats with carpet, electronics and the dust from the road no matter how slow we went really covered our boats in the rock dust.

Great view! Relaxing!!! Enjoyed the ping-pong table outside & the arcade Pac-Man game inside!!! Also, loved the Keurig coffee maker but it would’ve been nice to know ahead of time the home had that option. For a safety issue, it would be nice to have a handrail for the steps going outside. Great outside seating areas and another nice feature is deep water at the dock.

This property has a great lake location. The house was very neat and clean and has a nice large kitchen. There is a nice glass/screened in porch to lounge in and view the lake in the evening and when cooling off in the summer. The stand-up paddle boards gave us some extra fun on the water. Great dock if you rent or own a boat and want to dock it during your stay (we rented a pontoon boat from the nearby boat rental). Two bedrooms with two full baths and a room with bunk beds. Very relaxing locations. One shout out to the owners who stayed in touch with us to assure that our stay was the best. I have never had such good attention!

Father’s Day Wknd at the Lake

We had a great time at Lauren’s place. We brought our boat so it was great to leave it at the dock. We launched at the marina 5 minutes away (5). Super friendly staff there as well. Lots of room in for a family, it was my husband our two grown children and 2 smalls pups. They especially loved the backyard as it was fenced in and they could run around. Sat outside in the evenings, lovely breeze and just relaxed after a day of boating. Grill was perfect, cooked up burgers and veggies one night. Will for sure come back for a longer stay!!!

Beautiful area

Comfy and clean home-everything is well kept, plenty of beds, and that view! The lake is gorgeous. We swam, kayaked, and fished-everything was tranquil, just as we needed it to be. The only downfall was the amount of lighting in the master, very dim-other than that all was perfect!

Great Lake getaway

The property was just as described with all the amenities. When not out on the water the house was great for grilling and hanging out. Plenty of room and places to lounge. The property manager stayed in touch during our stay just to check in. We had no issues the entire weekend. We will definitely be booking again!!!

I rented this property for my family to stay at for my husbands basic training graduation. (About a 50 minute drive) The host always responded to my messages quickly. The property is fully stocked as well. (i.e. towels, kitchen supplies, etc.) I highly recommend this propety for friends and family. The house comfortably sleeps 8.
