Amazing lake view home. It was very clean and comfortable. We spent most our time on the dock. I would highly recommend this for anyone visiting the area.

A very beutiful place that made Christmas very special.

We spent the Thanksgiving holiday week at the lake cottage. The location was remote enough to be quiet, but still only about 15-20 minutes to restaurants and grocery stores. We drove into Columbia a few times to go to the University and the stadium, it takes about 40-45 minutes and is an easy drive. The kitchen was really well stocked and had everything we needed to make Thanksgiving dinner. Several coffee makers (carafe and k-cup) kept the whole family caffeinated and happy. The beds were very comfortable. The house is really well appointed, and even has lots of little touches like plenty of hooks and towel holders in the bathrooms and bedrooms. And the entire house was super clean. The back porch has a lovely view of the lake and plenty of seating. And we enjoyed using the fire pit and had a corn hole competition. Bruce was a great host, very helpful and responsive to questions.

Everything was perfect. Great location and very clean.

This spacious cabin was perfect for our stay for our daughter’s wedding. Very close to the venue. It was raining most of our stay but the cabin has tons of room and handled two large dog crates in one of the bedrooms with plenty of space left. It would be a great stay for any family that likes the outdoors and a comfortable stay.

Really enjoyed the morning sunrise. Sitting on porch with coffee and watching fishermen was very relaxing. House very well supplied.

Beautiful rustic property on lake Murray! Perfect for an intimate family gathering. The owner Bruce is a pleasure and so easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

Our family of 6 adults and one 3-year old had a great time at this lake house! We fished from the dock, had bonfires in the fire pit almost nightly overlooking Lake Murray with a gorgeous harvest moon shining on us. We rented a pontoon boat practically around the corner from the lake house and had a glorious day exploring the lake, swimming and more fishing! The house had everything we needed to feed our family of 7. We definitely will be back and recommend this destination. The property owner was also very responsive and helpful! Thank you for sharing your beautiful lake house with our family! Lindy Smith

Our daughter was married at Southern Oaks just down the road. This house was base camp for our family and was perfect to celebrate and relax with family and friends. The owner was wonderful to work with and the house was very clean and had lots of room for everyone

All 10 of us loved the location, the cabin, and all of the extras that was provided!!! We had a lot of room and the views were amazing. This has been by far the best VRBO that we have stayed at!!!! The communication and the check in process couldn’t have been any easier!!!

What a fantastic multi generational stay at Guinea Nest. The house has a central area which consists of a kitchen, large dining area and large living room that all overlooks the beautiful lake. The central area has a wing on each side with 2 bedrooms and a bath in each wing. The porch is huge and overlooks the lake, the dock and the yard. No matter your interest, there’s something for everyone here. We loved our stay and will be back.

This was a family trip for us. The view was beautiful to wake up to every morning! The house was very nice. We loved how 2 of the bedrooms were on seperate sides from the other 2. The dining table was big enough for all of us to sit at. The only negative for us was the dock. It needs some work.

Beautiful home with great lake view. Nights with the full moon shining on the lake was breathtaking. Bruce was wonderful and always responsive when we contacted him. Everyone had an awesome time.

This is the second time I have stayed here. It is the perfect location for a family week on the lake. The house is picture perfect. Huge yard. Fire pit. Large dock. Great location on the lake. If you’re looking for a beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature- this is it!

Enjoyed a week of relaxing and family time. House was great.

Nice shady yard. Beautiful lake views. Large dock on big water. Great covered porch with fans. Perfect house for those who truly want to spend their days "on the lake".

We had a nice stay in this spacious, but cozy log cabin on beautiful Lake Murray. Weather didn’t cooperate, but we made the best of it and it all turned out just great. We will be back.

This house is clean and the yard is great. We throughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Our extended family gathered for USC graduation weekend and the Guinea Nest was the perfect location. It was a good 40 minutes from Columbia, but we went back and forth a couple of times with no issues. The house was clean, well appointed, and Bruce was very responsive and easy to work with. The yard and dock were great for a group, and we enjoyed the paddle boards, canoe, firepit, and cornhole. Being on the lake was so beautiful- we even saw a moonrise! Enjoyed Price's BBQ which was very close by, and Hwy. 378 Bar and Grill for great burgers. We hope to someday get back to the Guinea Nest- it was a dream! Highly recommend!

The property was great - very clean and everything you would need - we felt it was even better than the pictures and description showed. The host was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended, and fully expecting a future trip back!

Lake Murray was great ! Host Bruce was great and quick to give use recommendations. Enjoyed the masters and the lake Great trip -Hope to be back next year

We had a lovely time with our family. The house is beautiful, well equipped, and clean. We enjoyed the dock and the paddle boards, laying in the hammock, and sitting by the lake. The owner was very proactive in communicating and check in was super easy.

Had some traveling family members stay here during our wedding weekend. Bruce was very kind and helpful during our stay! Beautiful property.

Its a wonderful location that feels like its far from everywhere but easy to get to. The back porch is amazing. The lake in the morning is beautiful and your family will very quickly feel like the place is home.

We rented property for a local wedding and cannot wait to come back for vacation. Bruce was probably the best host we have ever had at a VRBO rental. He was so responsive and helpful. Property is laid out great for a large family or group. A wonderful view of Lake Murray from Living room and bedrooms.

Only 2 nights for us, but very comfortable, cute cabin like with a great yard leading to lake. Tremendous views...

This is the second time we have rented this house and it was as great as the first. The house is great for a family and the fireplace was perfect for the cold December days.

Had the perfect stay for a nearby wedding. Host is extremely attentive. House is clean and equipped. Perfect home for friends, families and pets and the layout allowed for both gathering together and also provided private spaces. Location is just beautiful. Planning to be a repeat guest in the future if/when our travels bring us back to the lake! Thank you for opening your home to us.

House has the feel of a lake or mountain house. Beautiful back yard, and scenery was amazing. Enjoyed the stay!

Owner was prompt and helpful with questions. Property is stunning and has everything you might need. We enjoyed the firepit, the large kitchen, and wonderful back porch! Definitely a perfect family vacation home.

Excellent - Loved the house, location and view. The owner was very accommodating!!

This was our second stay at this property. It was amazing as always. Beautiful home where upon entering you immediately see the breathtaking view of the lake. Everything is provided for you from linens to outdoor games and paddle boards. The house was spotless which is always a bonus. Can’t wait to go back.
