Wonderful home to relax and reconnect with your family and friends. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The outdoor porch, deck and dock are wonderful. The home has everything you need and is right in the heart of Lake Murray. Highly recommend and look forward to staying again in the future.

A beautiful home, located in the middle of the lake. We kept the boat on the dock and went south one day and north next. Close to restaurants and grocery stores. Beautiful back porch/deck and comfortable beds! Curtis was extremely responsive to messages as well. Will look to book this home again next spring!

The house was perfect, especially the large deck and screened in porch for great moon rises, we never even turned a TV on. The kitchen is very well stocked and the layout it perfect. There is also a boat ramp for bringing your own boat.

Adequate for the price
Pros - Great location, beautiful lake front property, good amount of bedrooms, beds were comfortable, stocked with amenities
Cons -Very dirty and dusty, if you move anything on a countertop there was 20 years of dust around it and my small children on the floor were covered in dust. The home was overflowing with the homeowners personal belongings, there was no room in the shower or fridge for any of our items. The shower needs a full upgrade, the door did not shut and created water all over the floor, there is no water pressure, and you just turn on all hot for barely warm water.
Overall it fulfilled our needs but I would definitely try another place before returning

Loved our stay. They had plenty of amenities and a wonderful screened in porch right on the lake. We spent most of our time sitting there playing cards, enjoying the water, watching the storm pass through. Would love to bring the family here again. Very peaceful and relaxing
