Lake Murray, SC lake house

Our stay here for a fishing tournament couldn't have been better. It was apparent from the beginning how much effort Janet put into making the house inviting and comfortable for guests. Everything was there that you would expect even more so. She was very responsive and went above and beyond to answer any questions. that came up. The house is on the water and in a quiet neighborhood. I would gladly stay here again in the future.
