It was amazing. Beautiful property and we plan to come back again.

Such a beautiful property with the most amazing view! We came down to celebrate the High school graduation of my niece. The house was very clean and the property was well kept. The bathrooms and kitchen had high end finishes, and the whole house was nicely decorated. We were surprised with tons of great little extras like firewood for the fire pit, board games, beach towels, toiletries(shampoo, conditioner, body wash), laundry detergent, and a nice selection books.
We had five children between the ages of 3 and 11 that spent every day jumping in and out of the lake, and taking the kayaks and canoes on adventures. We loved sitting by the fire at night, gazing out to the peaceful cove. If we weren’t at the fire at night, we were engaged in serious foosball tournaments in the spacious basement. There was lots of refrigerator space (two full-size and one under counter beverage refrigerator) and all of the cooking utensils that we could have possibly asked for.
While we were in town, we visited many local attractions and loved the home’s proximity to grocery shopping and restaurants. On our ride home, I asked my three children what was their favorite part of their vacation. Their unanimous answer… “The house!” We look forward to staying here again in the future when we come to visit!

Property was great, perfect location. House was very clean, plenty of space. Public boat launch was very close, about a three minute drive. We enjoyed the dock, the fireplace and the kayaks. Definitely would recommend!

This is a beautiful house and it is a lot bigger than it looks in the photos. We had 7 of us and we had plenty of room. We loved the fire pit and the game room! The views of the lake are amazing. My husband was able to keep his bass boat at the dock and also we rented a pontoon boat at Lazy Waves for the day and docked it at the house while we had lunch. We came 12 hours from Michigan for a week long fishing trip and we had a perfect week at this house! 🙂

We are a large family traveled from Ohio to celebrate our sons graduation from U of SC! The place was amazing! Perfect distance for the back and forth to Columbia and so many amenities and extras! The house was stocked! We did a lot of cooking for 12 and had plenty of untensils dishes and things - was just like home! I was prepared with things like salt and pepper toilet paper and such and needed NONE of it with all that was there! House was truly HOME! Hostess was beyond AMAZING - the way she cared for the house and us I thought she was the owner! If we ever get back to Lake Murray which we hope to we will absolutely rent this home again! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for you TRUE Southern Hospitality!

What a wonderful house! The house was so clean and well equipped. We were 5 ladies and we all had a comfortable space. Beds were very comfortable and bathrooms were well stocked with towels and toiletries. Kayla the manager was wonderful to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. We would definitely rent this home again. It is on our list of favorites!

House is spacious, clean and very well appointed. We loved taking the boats out and watching the water from the deck in particular. Cooking was easy in the well stocked kitchen and everyone slept well at night on the comfy beds. Two thumbs up!

We had an amazing time at this home! We were able to dock our boat and walk right out to the lake. The house was great and the beds were very comfortable! Great appliances and tons of refrigerator space!

The house is fantastic. Newly remodeled and up to date. Only issues were that obviously they have some neighbor issues. They have the property lines lined off with security tape and rope and were constantly watching to see what we were doing. Other than that it is a great place, wish we had more time to spend there.

We traveled from Ohio with friends for a wedding and we couldn't have been happier with the choice of property. Everything exceeded our expectations for the price! Also quiet and somewhat secluded! Would recommend this to anyone. The kitchen was well stocked with the necessary cooking items for dining in, this made my wife extremely happy.

This property was so much more than we ever could have expected! The location is exquisite, and the house is richly appointed and the owners (Kathy & Gary) and manager (Kayla) go above and beyond to make sure that the house is spotless, well maintained and full of everything you need for a great stay. The bedroom and living space works really well as ourselves and each of our children's families had plenty of personal space, and the common space gave everyone plenty to do. Close to everything at Lake Murray, and an easy drive to Columbia we enjoyed a wonderful day at the zoo, and a night around the fire pit. Mornings were spent enjoying a cup of coffee on the deck overlooking the lake. Highly recommend this house and owner!

Great Vacation
Family spent wonderful week. Great location on lake. We brought our boat and the public access just around the cove made launching very easy. Loved the boat dock. Just around the tip of the cove to settle the water a bit. Very nice swimming at the dock and the little brim swimming around made it a bit like an aquarium. House has been well remodeled with plenty of room inside and parking outside. It’s located on a dead end road but with the circle at the end it’s very easy to turn around your boat and trailer. We have a large boat and absolutely no issues maneuvering. We’ve stayed at many houses on Lake Murray and while we like the experience of trying different houses this one is certainly on the repeat list. Close to Dreher Island and Liberty on the Lake and Catfish Johnny’s. Enjoyed hotdogs and s’mores by the fire pit, but the gas grill permanently attached to large propane tank with timed solenoid to turn on/off is a great setup. Very close to Chapin for groceries and such. Thanks for sharing your house with us.

outstanding!
family and 1982 high school friends from Georgia to New York all met at this Beautiful Lake House for a long weekend and we just fell in love with Murray Lake and its local residence. Southern charm everywhere we wnet. The Lake side restaurants and marinas were amazing. The house was so clean with million dollar lake views-great open fire pit available with Fire wood for smores-indoor fireplaces for romantic story times and the bedrooms were all so comfortable with extra pillows and Blankets for cozy game nights.
Already planning our next Lake Murray Lakehouse Crew adventure for next year!

Amazing Home and Property
I was getting married and my groomsmen and I stayed here over the weekend...the pictures do not do this place justice. It was much bigger than I had anticipated and being able to take a dip off the dock on a warm day was great! My friends and I even started talking about coming here once a year for a reunion...highly recommend.

Great house, great view!
Our family enjoyed this spacious house. It is well appointed with 2 kitchens. We especially enjoyed having 2 refrigerators. The master bedroom had a lovely view of the lake that worked well for one family member who couldn't be outside much. The lower level was great for the teens to play cards, foseball and just gather. They also enjoyed the outside patio for games and the kayaks. We liked the upstairs porch for gathering and eating. All in all this is a great house!!

Excellent Getaway

Amazing house with perfect location for fishing
Awesome house with plenty of rooms. Beds were very comfortable. Perfect for fishing with plenty of room to dock our boats. We got rained out one day, but we were plenty entertained with the big screen TVs, bar areas, and foosball. Will definitely book this house again.

Beautiful Lake Getaway
Our family had an amazing time at this beautiful lake house on Lake Murray! The house is fully renovated and the hosts provided all the linens, towels, toiletries, firewood (for fire pit and fireplace) and kitchen appliances that we needed. The back porch, fishing dock and fire pit in the backyard entertained all the kids and adults all weekend. We will definitely be back to visit and highly recommend this lake house!

Beautiful Home on Lake Murray
This beautiful home on Lake Murray is perfect for entertaining family and friends and close enough to USC that our son could visit with his friends while we were there. The home is beautifully decorated and probably one of the cleanest properties that we have ever stayed at .The hosts have truly thought of everything, and we look forward to making this a yearly tradition!

Wonderful Retreat
We had a wonderful time at "Quail's Nest". The pictures don't do the home justice. It has certainly been nicely renovated. Further, there was so much space for the 8 of us. The kitchen was spacious and had updated appliances. The bedrooms were spacious as well. The fireplaces in the home as well as the firepit outside were great amenities for us. We enjoyed the size of the dock and the opportunity to fish and canoe in deep water. My sister did yoga on the dock a few evenings during the week as well. We used the games that were available to us. There was also cornhole. It was a wonderful week in a home that was beautifully renovated and clean. We certainly plan to stay again.

We can’t wait to book again!
The house was beautiful and so comfortable. We enjoyed sitting by the fire pit talking and hanging out. We loved that there were so many options on where we could hang out in one place. The down stairs bar and gathering area was so unique and beautiful. All of us said if we could move in we would not change a thing! Thank you for a wonderful First experience with Vrbo.
