About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

LAKE COTTAGE WITH DECK - 5 Star - go to USC football games- Perfect for Clemson

Due to the setting it's best:
-for only 1 or 2 people-sorry NOT for visitors, unless discussed -looking for lake
-corporate stay in the area .
-There is NO PLACE to DOCK a BOAT or PARK A TRAILER.
- If you are renting a boat for a day, then check with the owners about a temporary dock
.-snowbirds in transit or scoping the area

This is a perfect place for a quiet get-a-away for 2 or wonderful alternative to a required hotel stay. The cottage was built totally by hand, by the owner, with trees cut from the property. It is designed for adults and there is nowhere for kids to play.
-No fire pit or place to burn

TWO KAYAKS are available to enjoy our large cove or to explore Shull Island. PADDLE BOAT for use also

Accommodations: Den and kitchen with island on one floor. Downstairs 600 sq. ft. with a queen bed and sitting area. Sleeps 2- one queen bed downstairs.

Three large windows overlooking the lake. We have all new appliances, including granite counter tops and 2 HD TVs with Dish Satellite.

There is a deck off the lower level for enjoying the lake view and for kayak or swimming access.

Off Season, 2 nights available if less than 2 weeks from arrival.


Keywords: Guest House, Lakefront, Peaceful

If you stay a week and could leave the lake, it's two hours from Charleston, SC. Downtown Columbia is 35/40 minutes away and the zoo (30 minutes) State Museum and children's museum are well worth the visit. Restaurants and many shopping choices are in Lexington which is an 18 minute drive. Many restaurants and grocery stores are an easy 10/15 minute drive from the guest house. Most renters prefer to shop prior to arrival.

There is a deck off the lower level for enjoying the lake view and for kayak or swimming access.

Off Season, 2 nights available if less than 2 weeks from arrival.

The cottage exceeded our expectations. It was very private and had a beautiful view of the lake from the large front window. The whole lower level was the bedroom and included a washer and dryer. It should be noted that the only bathroom is on the top floor so it could be a challenge for someone with mobility issues. We personally didn't find this a problem. All the basics were provided. Probably the most important feature of any vacation rental is the Host. We found Ellen to be very personable and has a lovely sense of humor. She is very responsive to questions and proved to be a superb host.

The best one could hope for…

This rental property is in a wonderful location. The owners are wonderful people and are very accommodating. It is close to everything that you need yet very secluded. You are right on Lake Murray and have great access to the water. My wife and I can highly recommend this location and will look forward to staying here again someday.
