It would have been nice to have a pair of scissors, scotch tape, step stool (short persons can't reach the top shelf of the kitchen cupboards), pen or pencil, serrated knife, laundry basket, beach towels. Wall clock in dining room was the wrong time, dresser in bedroom had two drawers of someone else's personal clothing, shower water was not consistent in regards to temperature and pressure, two beds haven't been dusted under for a long time (was looking for a table leaf) and no tools for cooking on the grill or propane to cook with. Was nice that the shelves in the bathroom didn't have a curtain covering them to make the room feel larger.Oh, the toilet paper holder on the wall felt loose so that may want to be looked at.

It is exactly as described. It is very rustic and unassuming on the outside, but beautiful and clean on the inside. The area is very quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed watching the birde and fireflies. It is right down the road from Lake Murray Public Park and several great eating establishments. I highly recommend it!

Fishing trip

Stayed for a week while fishing on Lake Murray. Great location. Short drive to the lake, food and groceries. Did not use the outdoor area due to rain. The chargrill duo on the patio is only usable on the charcoal side. The gas side is nonfunctioning. We did enjoy sitting on the back porch. Screens and a small ceiling fan would make it even better. Ice maker doesn't work on the refrigerator and the water pressure in the sink is low,but the kitchen is nice. All the other appliances worked well. The bedrooms were nice and the beds were comfortable. Large lot for parking especially if you are towing a boat. Will definitely stay here again.

Booked this house for a two day fishing tournament. This was my first air b&b experience and I couldn’t have been happier. This place is amazing and Susan was such. Great host. She answered all my questions. I’ll definitely be back soon!

South Carolina Visit

Home is very well appointed. Pictures depict the property nicely. Kitchen is well equipped and modern with lovely dining area, showcasing window views. Yard is spacious with plenty of parking and fenced-in for pets. The Edison light strings in the yard add a romantic fun atmosphere. Presence of TVs in every bedroom is a nice touch. Location was perfect for us to visit relatives in Lexington and walk at Lake Murray and Saluda Shores park.Bathtub/shower needs a grab bar for us older folks.

The Masters Visit

Great property and easy access to the interstate (time to Augusta was 1 hr), the lake, restaurants, and other golf courses. Exactly as described and all the amenities needed in place. Firepit was used each night and we appreciate having the lumber on hand. Thanks so much for a great visit!

Quiet, peaceful place

The house is exactly as described in the listing but the pictures don't do it justice. It's very clean and the decor is cute. The bedrooms are bigger than expected and the living room area is also spacious. If you like the cook, the kitchen is clean and all the appliances are in great working order. The back yard has an adorable outside lounging area with lights so you can enjoy it at night too. It is super easy to find and a 5-10 minute drive to the city. I highly recommend this place!

Enchanting Cozy Cabin

Grandma and Grandpa traveled with daughter, son-in-law, and 3 grandsons to participate in a baseball tournament. We were pleasantly surprised when we opened the door to find the whole house decorated for Christmas! Everything worked well, the boys were able to play outside in the large yard, and the neighborhood was quiet, safe, and close to stores and restaurants. The host provided excellent communication. This property just suited our needs for the weekend. opened the door tr to find
