We had a fabulous time here and we will be back again. The location at the lake cannot be beat and the views were stunning. Everything was clean and comfortable, and every need was provided for - throws and blankets, beach towels and chairs, games, etc. We especially enjoyed the front porch with the firepit and games!. Communication was excellent - if we had any question, the host responded immediately. Our family and friends loved every minute of our stay!

Families gathering for USC graduation

This home was perfect for our 5 families to gather so we could celebrate our children’s graduations from USC. The home was beautiful. The layout was perfect. The view to the lake and the enormous back porch were amazing! So many places to sit and enjoy each other and the view. We are all hoping to return one day. Thank you to the owners for the thought they put into this home and for sharing it with us.

Cozy home for family bonding!

The home was well equipped with everything we needed and more to spend quality time gathering with family - both inside and outside the home in the spacious backyard and patio areas. Thank you to the Nykamp family for not just opening their home, but ensuring all amenities were well stocked so we didn’t have to worry about anything beyond our basic needs and enjoying each other. I also appreciate their responsiveness when contacted about anything regarding the home.

Better Than the Photos

This beautiful home was everything we needed for our Thanksgiving family gathering. Every bedroom has an en suite bath, kitchen is fully stocked with equipment, utensils, etc. (I always bring a couple of favorite pans to rentals, but never needed them.)The lake view is better than the photos, as the lot faces the widest part of Lake Murray. Large back yard for kids and a large dock (bring a light tackle rod and a couple of lures). Tom, the host, is THE BEST. This VRBO gets an A+++
