Charming Lake Cottage Retreat
We loved it here! Went kayaking and fishing and had a great time with family.

Dream nest water-front stay
Beautiful space where we spent most of our time on the deck/screened in porch. Very clean place, looked just like the pictures.

Livin' the Lake Life! Home w/dock/gazebo-Sleeps 8
The lake house was great. Everything was very clearly labeled, organized, and well thought out. Sara thought of everything. It was very comfortable, and check out was especially easy. It was so nice to not have to strip the beds, wash the towels, take the trash to the curb, etc that so many other airbnbs make you do.

Breathtaking View On Lake Murray
My family enjoyed this beautiful lake house with an amazing view! There were so many amenities provided to enjoy the lake life from fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, floats, fire pit area to a screened in porch with a TV to name a few. We enjoyed watching the sunrise while catching fish early in the morning off the dock. The turtles would come up to the dock each morning while we were fishing. The host has a well stocked kitchen with everything labeled which was very convenient. There is an outside grill on the deck. I would highly recommend renting this beautiful lake house!

Lake Murray: Panoramic Views, Kayaks & Hot Tub
We had such a lovely little getaway at Jessica’s place. It’s in a perfect spot for families with kids—my children had the best time playing in the playhouse, and the hot tub was such a relaxing treat. The kayaks were a great bonus! Our family of five, with two school-aged children and a toddler, fit comfortably between the two kayaks, so we were all able to go out on the water together. Jessica was incredibly kind and responsive, answering all my questions before we booked and going out of her way to make sure we felt welcome and at home. The gift basket was such a thoughtful touch. My daughter quickly claimed the tumbler and now brings it to school every day—she says she never wants to forget “sunshine and nap time.” It’s those little details that made our stay feel extra special.

Located on big water with private dock
We stayed for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding at Heron Hill Venue. The location was great and the scenery beautiful. The lake house is well equipped, comfortable, and decorated but not cluttered. The deck overlooking the lake was the perfect place to sit in the morning and relax with my hot cup of tea before wedding preparations got crazy. Only wish we’d had more time to enjoy it. Kim was very helpful and responsive. I would come back again even without a wedding to attend. High marks for this lake house retreat!

Casa Azul - Lake Murray - Close in - Spa like bath
We enjoyed our week at the lake and found the home well-stocked. We ate most of our meals at home and had everything we needed. The kitchen was nicely appointed, and the appliances were high quality. There is a Publix grocery store 10 minutes away and several local restaurants to enjoy. We used the charcoal grill for several meals and sat outside as much as possible. The whole family enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, and swimming in the lake. A ladder on the dock would make it easier to get out of the lake, but we made due.

Cozy 4BR/2BA lake front home
LaJuana was very friendly and accommodating and her place was a great home base for my family for a Carolina football weekend!

Private ramp and dock, 5 mins from Liberty marina
Thanks for hosting us. The place was spacious and relaxing. We felt right at home and had everything we needed. Would recommend this place.

The Lakeside Haven
Me and my family had stayed here before right after the hurricane in October of 2024. Not much has changed since then, which is amazing! Dan and Linda are the sweetest hosts and an amazing couple! We definitely can't wait to stay again and enjoy the water once more.

Lake Cottage in Chapin Private Dock
My family and I had an amazing time at the Leilany’s lake house. Everything was like they described. The leilany’s went out of their way to make our stay perfect. I would highly recommend anyone staying here.

Sunrise and Sunset on the Lake
Absolutely amazing stay at Todd’s property. We enjoyed breathtaking views of sunrise over Lake Murray from the front porch and stunning sunsets over Lake Murray from the backyard. The home was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Hope to return!

Beautiful Lake Murray Retreat
What a very enjoyable stay. We needed a place last minute to evacuate our home in FL for a hurricane. Janice and Nathan responded immediately and had the place ready for us when we arrived. It was perfect for what we needed and our two dogs loved it with the fenced in yard. If you have pets and want to get away….this is the spot!!! Place was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The view from the back porch is amazing and when you walk down to the water it takes all your stresses away. We will certainly be back!

Serenity Cove - 1 Acre, Fenced Yard, Private Ramp
Our family with our two dogs had a very relaxing week at the house. We enjoyed being on the water with the dock. It was very peaceful and relaxing. Fenced in large back yard was great for the dogs. House was also great. Very spacious and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Neighbors were very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend staying at the house!

Charming two bed one bath
We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb. It looked like the photos. Lori was very responsive and helpful. Prime location near shops and resturants. GORGEOUS water view. We will be back!

Lake Murray Escape with private boat launch & dock
Everything was amazing when I had a problem they were quick to respond. Even accommodated us an extra day, would love to return when I have more time to enjoy it! Thank you!!

Lakefront Cottage on Lake Murray
Location was Beautiful and very peaceful . Just what we needed. We enjoyed our visit to that area.

Tranquility
We had the most amazing stay at this property. The photos don’t do it justice! We absolutely fell in love with the house, the lake, the neighborhood. Ellen and Andy were so friendly and lovely, and even gave us some great recommendations to places to see. We are already planning our trip to come back!

NEW Lakeside: Boat Rental, Firepit & EPIC Views!
The backyard alone will make you book this place. We enjoyed our family time here. Definitely book for your next family adventure.

Lake all day S’mores all night!
Wonderful hosts, was able to meet them in person and chat a little. A recent storm posed some challenges for the hosts as far as making sure the property was ready for our stay, but they worked hard to make it happen and it was great. Communicative hosts, beautiful property. Would stay again.

The Columbia Getaway - 3BR Urban Oasis
We loved staying at Lindsey’s home. We came to visit family and we were able to bring our fur baby. It was a short walk to the Congaree River. The house is conveniently located close to the capital, where there is plenty of things to do and eat. We would definitely stay here again!

1930's Cape Cod Style Home On Pond
Ellen and Arnold’s home was absolutely perfect for our family. The home was so charming and we felt immediately at home! From the welcome treats to the delightful sunroom, everything was wonderful. I highly recommend for a beautiful, cozy, and charming stay!

Cozy 3BR | Lake/Trail Access | Mins to Ft Jackson
I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The house was absolutely spotless — everything was clean, fresh, and well-maintained. You can tell the hosts really care about creating a welcoming and comfortable space. The check-in process was smooth, and all the amenities were exactly as described (if not better!). It felt like a home away from home. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and relaxing place to stay.

Spacious home in quiet cove.
Amazing views!! The house was clean, had lots of kitchen supplies for cooking, great quiet location while being a close distance from some wonderful restaurants! We ate at the Mexican Restaurant (Na'cho Margarita) and Martin's Landing Bar & Grill. Both we're great with wonderful service and good food! Communication with the host was quick and always helpful. The lake, in the backyard, was a short walking distance from the house with a nice pier and areas to tie our boat. The lake is absolutely gorgeous - perfect for boat riding, fishing, watching numerous ducks and wildlife and spectacular views of the sunrise and sunset. The only thing that I didn't like was the hard mattress in the master bedroom. However, that's more a personal preference because my husband and I have back issues. I would certainly recommend this place for a fun, relaxing, family or couples adventure!
