We enjoyed staying at the house as it met our needs for the time we were visiting the area. The rooms were clean and cozy. Our children had fun choosing their rooms and the lawn area provided room for them to stretch their legs and run and play. We did find we had to purchase some extra towels and flatware as there wasn't enough for our family size. Overall, I would recommend this cozy house.

It is exactly as described. It is very rustic and unassuming on the outside, but beautiful and clean on the inside. The area is very quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed watching the birde and fireflies. It is right down the road from Lake Murray Public Park and several great eating establishments. I highly recommend it!

The Masters Visit

Great property and easy access to the interstate (time to Augusta was 1 hr), the lake, restaurants, and other golf courses. Exactly as described and all the amenities needed in place. Firepit was used each night and we appreciate having the lumber on hand. Thanks so much for a great visit!

Nice stay

We had a nice stay here. Very convenient location to a wedding venue we came to town for. We were missing a few things but overall was very spacious and nice. Could have used some more hangers, an iron, a lighter, detergent, paper towels, dog bowls and maybe a deck of cards to make it perfect. Overall, we would stay again if we found ourselves back in the area.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The house was cute and comfortable and had nice yard space. Unfortunately it was not very cleanly. We found multiple dirty socks left in the house and dust and crumbs under the bed. The owners had the house sprayed for bugs the day before so there were dead cockroaches around. We also discovered two unrefrigerated packets of cookie dough inside one of the dresser drawers, one of which was opened. The house sleeps 6 but there were only 4 forks in the whole house and very little dishes. Ok for the price but not ideal.

Fishing trip

Week long fishing trip to Lake Murray. Roomy rental. Lots of counter space. Decent bedrooms with TV in each. Nice outside area and grill. Large lot for turning a boat around. About a 5 minute drive to Lake Murray and 10 minutes to restaurants and grocery. Look forward to staying again next year.

Quiet, peaceful place

The house is exactly as described in the listing but the pictures don't do it justice. It's very clean and the decor is cute. The bedrooms are bigger than expected and the living room area is also spacious. If you like the cook, the kitchen is clean and all the appliances are in great working order. The back yard has an adorable outside lounging area with lights so you can enjoy it at night too. It is super easy to find and a 5-10 minute drive to the city. I highly recommend this place!

South Carolina Visit

Home is very well appointed. Pictures depict the property nicely. Kitchen is well equipped and modern with lovely dining area, showcasing window views. Yard is spacious with plenty of parking and fenced-in for pets. The Edison light strings in the yard add a romantic fun atmosphere. Presence of TVs in every bedroom is a nice touch. Location was perfect for us to visit relatives in Lexington and walk at Lake Murray and Saluda Shores park.Bathtub/shower needs a grab bar for us older folks.
