Weekend Girls Trip

My friends and I had an absolute blast at this cottage! The view was one of our favorite things about it. We specifically enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, swimming along the pier and kayaking. Very safe and fun place for a vacation. The owners were very responsive and very kind. We would recommend it to anyone looking to go to Lake Murray! 10/10 stay!

Absolutely Fantastic!

This is truly a unique property. Im not gonna lie, I spent alot of time wondering how this little gazebo came to be. Could I have asked? Absolutely. But some things are best left to the imagination. The pictures do not do it justice. You just have to experience it. We spent early mornings either on the balcony or patio. We did bring our boat and 2 jet skis. It was nice having access to a private ramp. There was enough room to park 2 trailers, 2 trucks, and another vehicle comfortably at the residence. The dock was big enough to secure all 3 to it. It was even more amazing when lit up at night. I, like many am very apprehensive about staying at a property where the owners are on site. I dont know why, we're not a loud unruly group. Don't let that deter you here. We stayed 9 nights. Peter and Jan have mastered the art of letting you feel comfortable. They checked in to ask if we needed anything. Our 2 young adult kids (20 and 22 years old) were there for half the stay. Our daughter slept on the daybed which is also a trundle bed. And our son slept on the couch which pulls out to a queen bed. Both kids said they were comfortable. The master has a queen bed as well. It too was comfortable. The gazebo has 2 full bathrooms which was nice. The shower pressure was phenomenal. If you're on the fence about booking this then let this be your sign to go ahead and book it!

Had an amazing time staying at this home for the weekend. Host was extremely accommodating and had the place fully stocked with all needed amenities. Views were unbelievable, and as typical the pictures do not do it near justice. We will definitely be coming back.

Awesome Experience!!

Our stay was truly the most relaxing time we’ve had in a long while. The accommodations were exceptional and the host went above and beyond for us. It was my fiancés birthday weekend and they threw in happy birthday balloons for no additional charge. Kept us stocked with fire wood. They even alllowed us to stay a bit longer on check out day for last minute fishing! I would definitely love to stay again and again. Also, the property is just stunningly beautiful! Thanks so much to the Rizzo’s!! Hope to see you both again!

A unique gazebo cottage located behind owner’s home with spectacular views surrounded by water. Perfect for a long weekend. Plenty of seating and sleeping options. Very cool that you have access to your own dock. 2 full bathrooms with excellent water pressure. Lots of towels and linens provided. Highly recommend!
