The best!!!! We loved this place the moment we pulled up and Stan came out to greet us. My husband and I were ending our honeymoon on Lake Murray because he was fishing in a tournament. He won, by the way! Even without that though, we’d have been so happy right there. The decor is so much fun. We had everything that we needed including a dock to fish where I caught my largest bass! We highly recommend this house, this lake and these hosts!!

Amazing Location

My husband and I absolutely loved this property. The cottage was clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked and there's a smart tv in the living room. The location cannot be beat - right on the lake with a boat launch on the property. We were able to keep our boat in the lake for the length of our stay. Patti and Stan were wonderful hosts and we cannot wait to come back in the fall!

decompression paradise!

booked this for a long weekend for myself and my sister. Patti and Stan are so friendly and quick to answer any and all questions about the area. Access directly into the water and wonderful floating dock. The cottage is beautifully decorated and so very home-y. Everything from the rose art in toilet paper to the twinkling lights around the top tier decking to the fragrance when you walk in will make you never want to leave! Highly recommend and we will be back!

Laid back at the lake

Came down for a fishing tournament for our son and had a wonderful relaxing time. House had everything we needed to unplug and take a short break. Hosts were very communicative and helpful. Thanks to Stan for getting the broken coffee pot replaced. We will definitely be back.

Thank you both for hosting us with such a beautiful weekend getaway! The cabin is so very charming. From decor to anything you could need (or may have forgotten), even the smallest details were well thought out. Access to the lake was super easy. We will definitely be staying here again! I cannot say enough how much we enjoyed our time at your cabin!

The Essentials for a Great Stay

This quaint and cozy cottage is exactly as advertised. Sometimes, booking through these platforms can leave you a bit uneasy about the condition/location of a property until you get there. Well, I was extremely pleased with our stay! This trip was part of a surprise birthday getaway for my darling husband. It was a moment to pull him away from the city to enjoy peace and quiet. He enjoys fishing, so the convenience of the boat dock and lake right off the yard was a plus. And even though the weather was not conducive to fully enjoying the deck or fishing, we have zero complaints. It rained a couple of times during the weekend f or stay. But the covered porch, portable heater, and lounge furniture made watching the rain over the lake therapeutic.Stan met us upon arrival to greet us and offered assistance with anything we may have needed during our stay. They did not bother us at all, even though they live right next door. We chatted in passing periodically but my husband and I were able to enjoy their beautiful space seemingly exclusively. I even appreciated the thoughtful refreshments water, coffee and creamer upon arrival. The loft is super cute but caution...it is a loft for a reason, lol. I am about 5'8 and I was able to stand straight in the tallest portion of the loft area. However, this wasn't the case for my husband. So, if you are on the taller side, be mindful of how you are moving around up there. Stan/Patti, thanks for everything :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Swanee cottage! Patti and Stan were absolutely amazing hosts, so kind and hospitable. They truly made us feel welcome in their home.
