Stayed for a guys fishing trip. The house had everything we need and was right on the lake. There was power at the dock to charge the boat batteries. Host was quick with response time and communication was good.

We had a great time, the house was good and it had all that we needed. The only complaint we had was the outside grill was really old and small. The washer and dryer was not in the house like I thought and it was a hassle to try and use it but other than that it was fine.

The house was very clean and located in a perfect location on the lake. We kayaked, used an inflatable raft (provided by the owner) and our stand-up paddle board. There was a fire pit so we were also able to make s’mores! Communication with the owner was fantastic! It was a perfect weekend get-a-way for our family!

Sunset Lake stay
Carlos was a great host, and very easy to get in contact with. the property was just as pictured but photos can’t capture the quiet, serene views you get from the screened in porch. The house was very clean inside, and had everything we needed. The grill, laundry and boat ramp are 3 great perks of this house. Will definitely stay again.

Just What the Doctor Ordered
We absolutely loved our stay at this quaint lakeside retreat! The home was cozy, clean, and perfectly tucked away to offer total privacy and relaxation. Surrounded by nature and just steps away from the water, it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Whether we were enjoying our morning coffee on the porch or unwinding by the lake in the evening, every moment felt rejuvenating. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and recharge in a beautiful, quiet setting!

Great Little Place
Communication was immediate and excellent before the trip. Check in was simple. The place smelled and looked amazing. There was a kayak already there but we brought our own and out on the water we went. The week consisted of swimming off the dock, fishing off the dock while the boys took the boat out—- you can park the boat at the dock or up in the grass and reading on the dock. We did bring a canopy tent that we put up on the dock since it averaged 100 degrees before the humidity. We had all our meals at the house and the grocery store was only 15 minutes away. It only rained the last night and it was a doozy that came up fast. The porch was great but a ceiling fan would have made it perfect as we sat on the porch to work on a puzzle that was already at the house.

Great Place for Fishermen
Property is right on lake with a nice dock in protected cove and you are only a very short drive from the boat ramp. It’s easy to back a boat trailer or 2 in and you have outside power. Carlos is an exceptional host he is immediately responsive to any needs. The description lists a room with a double bed and 2 singles but there is only 1 single so if you have four you should bring a cot or use the sofa. Good experience and would stay here again.

Scenery was gorgeous! Incredibly tranquil! I loved the screened porch and dock. I would love to come again.
There seems to be an issue with the electrical system, as the outlets spark when plugging anything in.

Lake Murray
The stay was fine. We were grateful for an early check-in. Enjoyed a beautiful boat ride on the lake and lunch at Nacho Margaritas. Our dogs enjoyed the dock and lake. The house was ok. It definitely needs a deep cleaning and more care taken. Large grill was falling apart. Fire pit had all kinds of junk in it. Litter around dock. Basically it needs some TLC.
