Great family getaway
Loved the quiet peacefulness of the property and the home had great amenities to keep us entertained. Right next to the marina for supplies and boat rentals if desired. Excellent communications throughout. Would highly recommend for a peaceful getaway on the water.

Family Time
We rented the house to stay in for my daughter's wedding. It was nice. It had plenty room for our whole family. The pool table was a hit. So was the pier for fishing. The house is a older home but was very clean. The property manager was very nice.

Excellent Experience/Too Short for Us
Tonya's lakeside home along Lake Murray is in a beautiful setting and a very comfortable vacation home. Everything worked great. An outstanding stay - that I wish we could have enjoyed longer. Flying in from the west coast, we arrived late on Saturday, to then pick up our teenage grandchildren on Sunday. This was intended as a short (two night) stay only - pick up the kids and move to our next destination. Certainly worth a longer stay, at a terrific location and property. Highly recommend. Very much 10 out of 10.

Great spot on the lake
House is great and the location is right in the heart of lake murray. Proximity to siesta cove marina means you always have a spot to get drinks and ice, and to put in your boat.

Gamecock Commencement Weekend
What a fantastic stay! Plenty of room for our large family gathering to help celebrate the Graduation of our daughter from The University of South Carolina. The rooms were very clean and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. From catching fish right off the dock in the back yard to enjoying the screened in porch playing cards, our stay was quite enjoyable. The fenced in yard was perfect for or four legged friends. I only wish we had more graduations to attend.

Great Getaway on the lake
We enjoyed our stay at this peaceful Lake Murray setting. Everything was clean, all necessities were provided and the owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. We rented a boat from Siesta Cove marina, which was a quick walk away. After a full day of fishing, we went to the Hollow Creek Distillery which was a 10 minute drive, they had food trucks there and the staff was friendly. We are already talking about our next trip.

See you next year
Absolutely awesome experience from booking through the stay to check out. This is our second year staying here. Great house for our large family. Amazing location in a private cove off a cove, allowed for the kids to swim and play with no risk of boats speeding by. It’s also just 100 yards from one of the cheapest gas pumps on the lake. Which is co-located with lazy waves, boat rental. This allows for easy pick up drop off and refueling of the boat without having to have a vehicle drive halfway around the lake. Great fishing right from the dock. My family and I are already planning next years trip and this time staying for a week. See you next year.

Rustic Home with Thoughtful Touches on Beautiful Cove
My family members enjoyed their time at this property. While the house is somewhat rustic, as one might expect from a lake house, it has thoughtful decorations and improvements. The modernized kitchen served us well. And the house is well stocked with entertainment items. We enjoyed the use of the canoe and kayaks, and the proximity to Lazy Waves Pontoon Rentals, from which we rented a pontoon and tube. Our host Tonya was most accommodating. The proximity to Lexington and Columbia was a plus as was the house being pet-friendly. If we rent at Lake Murray again, we will consider this house.

Good times at Lake Murray
This property is amazing! Second time we have stayed here. Tons of room and comfy beds. Nice bathrooms and the kitchen is great. The fenced in yard was ideal for bring the dogs! The location is awesome for fishing, and near a store/marina for ice and any items you need. Theres a drive thru bait shop and outdoor shop with in a 10 minute drive. The kids had a blast with the paddle boards in the day and the pool table at night. Did i say this is an amazing property!?!

Golf Trip
Awesome location! It’s right on the lake and close everything. We came to town to go to the Masters. Played golf around the area. Wish we could have taken advantage of the lake more. Really enjoyed the pool table in the house and the screened in patio. Host is amazing!

Great place for a family visit
I was there with my family / grandkids (five adults, 4 kids) and the place had everything that we needed. That was important because our timing was bad with the weather and it rained most of our trip! But our days on the lake became days on the screened porch and it was great. The house was well-stocked with board games, puzzles, pool table ... many fun activities for the kids, never got bored even with the rain! The kitchen was well-orgainized and had everything that we needed. Nice dock on a quiet private cove, but the marina is just around the next bend, very convienient. Would definitely like to return.
