About this house rental

Due to the setting it's best:
-for only 1 or 2 people-sorry NOT for visitors, unless discussed
-corporate stay in the Lexington area .
-Sorry, but there is NO PLACE to DOCK a BOAT or PARK A TRAILER.
- If you are renting a boat for a day, then check with the owners about a temporary dock
.-snowbirds in transit or scoping the area

This is a perfect place for a quiet get-a-away for 2 or wonderful alternative to a required hotel stay. The cottage was built totally by hand, by the owner, with trees cut from the property. It is designed for adults and there is nowhere for kids to play.
-No fire pit or place to burn

TWO KAYAKS are available to enjoy our large cove or to explore Shull Island.

Accommodations: Den and kitchen with island on one floor. Downstairs 600 sq. ft. with a queen bed and sitting area. Sleeps 2- one queen bed downstairs.

If you stay a week and could leave the lake, it's two hours from Charleston, SC.

Our stay was nice until the host sent us a message wondering why the blinds were closed all the time. Apparently she wanted to he able to see what we were doing. However she did say that she saw a little bit - not sure what tho. After that message we packed up and left because we did not feel safe. I mean how would she expect us to feel? She didn’t understand how that actually sounded. Of course she will not refund any of our stay. I will definitely not book this property again and will never recommend it to anyone.

The cottage had everything we needed. The cottage and area are beautiful, safe and well-kept. We kayaked, walked, ran, and fished, saw turtles, an armadillo, deer, lizards bunnies, squirrels birds and had morning and evening visits from a hummingbird. The decor of world travel photos will have you planning your next vacation. My husband is already considering his next trip to this lake cottage. Host responded quickly to my questions. The cottage is tucked in a cove and very private.

Perfect retreat for me and my adult son. The separation of levels allowed both of us privacy, yet still together enjoying our week. Bed was comfy! Son said pull out couch was just like a normal bed. The location was ideal between Lexington, Gilbert and Batesburg-Leesville. Thanks Ellen and Andy for sharing your vacation retreat!

This cottage is a gem! It is wonderful with a beautiful lake view. As pictured, and probably more room than shown. Very clean, comfortable bed, and Ellen has thought of your every need. Ellen and Andy are wonderful hosts, very easy to communicate and work with and very responsive. Can't say enough about this property, absolutely loved our stay!! I just wish the weather had been better to go kayaking - will have to come back for that. Only 1 hr from Augusta Natl.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay! The property was just as we expected, if not larger. Hosts were very welcoming! We look forward to returning for another visit in the summer or fall, hoping to be able to take advantage of the kayaks in warmer weather

We came to Lexington for a needed break from our busy lives in south Florida. This property is located on a beautiful spot on the lake. The main views from the living area look over the lake. It was just what we needed. Communication with Ellen was great. She and Andy made sure we were all set. We had a great time exploring the area and just getting away from it all. Highly recommend this rental for couples!

The home is beautiful and clean. There was plenty of space for my husband and I to spread out. He had some work to do while we were there and I never felt in his way. The couple who own the home are lovely. We didn’t meet them until we were leaving but we wish we had met them sooner. The location is close to restaurants and on a beautiful piece of land. Unfortunately the weather was a bit chilly when we were there so we didn’t get to enjoy the water at all. Next time we can enjoy the beautiful lake. I would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect getaway for two. Very nice cottage. Super comfortable bed. Very clean. Well equipped. The stairs were tough on us due to some mobility issues. Perfect otherwise. Owners next door on same property but were noninvasive and very welcoming. Peaceful and comfortable. We cannot wait to come back.

Sometimes when we've rented through VRBO we've found a great house, and other times a great view/setting... in this case, we got it all! We absolutely love the way this house is situated in a beautiful natural habitat. The view of the lake is superb, and the amenities are all top notch. It is, by far, the most comfortable, relaxing, rental we've ever had. We were in South Carolina for the university's Family Weekend. After all of the activities it provided us with a retreat that allowed for morning coffee and reflection. It really was perfect, and the hosts made us feel welcome. We will definitely utilize this rental in the future.
