Amazing A-Frame TINY HOUSE on Private Cove

AlexRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This tiny home on the lake was awesome! Our short spring break was just what my friend and I needed to rest and recharge away from the hustle and traffic of Charleston and visit friends near by. Their property & lake views are absolutely beautiful. We took the canoe out and saw some amazing wildlife! We enjoyed the basket of fresh eggs and the coffee was perfect. Geri and her husband checked in and made sure we had whatever we needed. Will definitely come back again!

An outdoor pergola provides a shaded dining area featuring a large table and seating. A grill and Blackstone are positioned nearby, adjacent to an outdoor TV displaying scenic views. The surrounding space includes a well-maintained Putt Putt course, enhancing outdoor leisure activities.

CB90 Cottage: Mini Golf, Outdoor Grills & Fire Pit

NicoleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We absolutely loved our stay! The backyard amenities were fantastic. The house was clean and everything you needed was easy to find. Plenty of clean linens and an easy check-in and out process. Walkable to the grocery store down the road. We stayed for our trip to the Masters and absolutely will stay again if we are ever lucky enough to go a second time or if we go to Columbia for a South Carolina game. It’s family friendly but also perfect for an adult only trip, too. Book this! You won’t regret it.

Lakefront home on Lake Murray with private dock

DerekRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Our family and friends stayed during Masters week and appreciated the quiet, relaxing location that was only about an hours drive to Augusta, GA. It made for a quick morning commute without much traffic and allowed us to hop on the express way for a straightforward drive. The house offers plenty of rooms for multiple guests, and was exactly as described in the photos and other reviews! They did a great job welcoming us, offered suggestions on other activities to do in the area while we were in town. Our two friends who stayed with us made good use of the kayaks as well for some lake boating. It was so peaceful we didn't run into any other families, even though there are plenty of surrounding houses - the view of the lake is absolutely beautiful and anyone wanting a private upstairs master suite will love this location! Chris and his co-hosts were also incredibly responsive, polite, and helpful throughout our stay. Definitely consider this as a place to stay during The Masters!

Sunset Gem private dock & boat ramp on Lake Murray

LaurenRating, 5 stars1 week ago

What a beautiful relaxing location! Spring break was awesome with my little girl, my other half, and our pup! Brought our John boat, enjoyed days on lake fishing or just cruising around. Fished from the dock, and paddled the provided kayak around the cove. We will most definitely be coming back to stay! Carlos was so quick at replying, it was easy to get in, clean, and the Mexican restaurant is a literal 6 minutes down the road if you don’t feel like cooking one night!

LourdesRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful place located right in front of a stunning lake! The views were absolutely breathtaking and made our time there so peaceful and refreshing. Lauren was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. She also provided a great list of nearby places to visit, which was super helpful for exploring the area. The little touches really made a difference – there was coffee, spices, and even games to enjoy, which added to the cozy, home-like feel of the space. Plus, the place is very kid and pet-friendly, which was perfect for our family. We truly loved our stay and would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

"Serenity Now"-Sunsets/ Beach/ Water On 3 Sides

AmandaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We were looking for a place to spend a few days with our kids and grandkids who live in TN (we are in NC) where we could "meet in the middle". Serenity Now was the perfect choice with plenty of space for all of us, plenty of things to do on site (indoor and outdoor games, fishing off the pier, burn ban statewide prevented use of the fire pit sadly). We were close enough to Columbia to make a trip to the Riverbanks Zoo (we all loved that). Todd and Kathy provide a well stocked house. The beds are very comfortable, we didn't have any trouble sleeping! Or maybe the grandkids just wore us out that much! Thanks for sharing your amazing lake front home! We had an amazing time!

Unique Lake Murray Cabin With a Gorgeous View

FisherRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

This was such a sweet little cabin on the lake! I left wondering how much it would be to build one just like it on some land back home! Great use of space and close to the water. Also there is a boat ramp just down the road. Really convenient!

A spacious outdoor area features a wooden deck with an umbrella-covered dining table and chairs. Surrounding greenery includes tall trees and neatly trimmed bushes, creating a tranquil setting. A stone pathway leads from the deck to the yard, which is partially covered in natural mulch.

Great place to stay that was close to everything. Went to visit with our son stationed in Sumter, and it was close enough to that. Was near to Columbia and all the amenities there. Perfect house for our purposes. The back yard was fenced and was great for the puppy!

Lake Murray Sunsets, Ramp & Dock - Lexington SC

5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews2 weeks ago

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy home on Lake Murray. The location is absolutely spectacular, right on the water with breathtaking sunsets every evening. It was also extremely quiet and peaceful, which made it the perfect place to unwind. The house is full of charm and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. It felt very homey, with good energy throughout. One of our favorite features was the screened-in porch. We spent most evenings out there soaking in the views and enjoying the serene atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a comfortable, laid-back spot to recharge by the lake.

Lake front home, private dock, water toys, kayaks

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 58 reviews1 month ago

Michelle stepped up, communicated promptly and clearly when another Airbb place we had did not work out due to some maintenance issues. Great communication! This location had a separate building with space for my wife to work from home undisturbed. We were there in the off season from the lake fun, however our daughters loved the fishing rod and access to the water. It gave us a taste of the summer fun that this location definitely delivers. The view and the fire pit next to the lake was a fun treat for us all. Plenty of firewood, and a well appointed home allowed us all to settle in. Only two critical items worth mentioning are the beds frames were a bit unsupportive, and the gnats seemed to be penetrating the home as the weather warmed. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

5 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviews2 weeks ago

We really enjoyed our stay at Sara’s. It’s a very comfortable space, with room for two couples. The lakefront view has great sunrises and the lake is wide enough that you don’t feel exposed from the lake side. Kitchen was well-appointed, indoor spaces were very clean, and it was peaceful and quiet. Very relaxing. The dock is a fabulous place to escape. We would definitely stay there again.

Log Cabin at Lake Murray - Boat Rental Option

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 52 reviews9 months ago

We absolutely loved our stay at this cabin. It was so clean and cozy and peaceful. No other homes in the area offer that cabin feel which is exactly what my family loves. I was so impressed with how nice it was and that it is pet friendly! We loved having our pup there. The neighbors are friendly, the yard is beautiful, the fishing is great, the boat was wonderful, and Stevie and Chris were amazing hosts. We went to fisherman’s Warf for dinner one night and it’s so close and the fun lake atmosphere we wanted for dinner that night. We absolutely have nothing but beautiful memories here.

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 42 reviews3 months ago

Great location and wonderful home for our multi-generational family vacation! We only had a few days together but it was fun-filled with activities steps away on the lake as well as the game room. The large dining table was a perfect gathering spot for family dinners & game nights. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets seen from the picture window simply sitting on the sofa. Sadie & Brock even shared Christmas cookies to welcome us at check-in! Looking forward to a return trip 😃

We had a great stay and the house was everything it promised. It is an older home, but was updated and clean with many details and touches that made things easier to be away from home. Located in a trailer court (as stated in the description), it feels very safe when out walking the dog at night and is extremely quiet. The interstate nearby makes it a central location and easy access to all things local.
