This cute little cottage was perfect for us to spend time at Lake Murray doing some spring fishing. It is a beautiful neighborhood with a great dock and boat ramp. It is close to stores and restaurants but feels secluded and peaceful. Candy is a great hostess providing all you need to enjoy your stay.

Wonderful Lakefront Cottage!

This cottage was perfect for our South Carolina visit to attend a family wedding nearby. Very comfortable with a nice screened porch on the waterside. We brought a kayak so we also enjoyed paddling on the lake. Highly recommend!

Short getaway

We needed a short getaway and this place fit the bill. We loved the fact that it’s pet friendly with an amazing fenced area for the pups. It’s conveniently located to stores, yet in a private setting. Having our own boat ramp and dock was a plus. The property owner was very accommodating. Definitely plan on staying again.
