Private ramp and dock, 5 mins from Liberty marina
Beautiful home on Lake Murray Celebrated son’s graduation from University of South Carolina!! Worked out perfectly!! If could change anything would be the rain!! Rented a pontoon boat at local marina just wish the weather was better! Still had a great time! Definitely recommend this home. Beautiful!!

Charming Lake Cottage Retreat
We loved this house and will be looking to come back again. Really had a great time fishing and looking at the water and the house was so very peaceful. We had a wonderful time.

The Herons Nest
This home worked great for us and our extended family during our son's graduation. Everything was clean and well appointed.

Secluded Lakefront Getaway | Private Dock & Gazebo
This home was perfect for our stay. Absolutely everything you'd need to stay, from kitchen to bath to outside.

Lake Cottage in Chapin Private Dock
This is the cutest lakefront cottage we’ve ever stayed in. It was spotlessly clean and well furnished. Beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. Towels are soft and very absorbent. We grilled and ate on the deck while enjoying an awesome lake view. The host was very accommodating. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway. There dock provided electricity so it was a wonderful place to dock our boat. We will definitely go back!

LakeMurray-Pool-HotTub-GameRm-Beach-FirepitPlaySet
Can’t say enough good things about the place. My kids had a blast (almost 6 and 8). When i say they loved it, the LOVED it. The TV “room” upstairs is to die for. Must be a 100 inch tv on the wall. The pool is amazing, hot tub, pool table for the adults, awesome dock (neighbors that can deliver a boat for rent right next door - also super friendly) and great little arcade game set up (my son became quite infatuated with the golf game). Bonus to get to bring my pup who also enjoyed. Truly can’t say enough good things about this place. Plenty of beds (especially if your spouse leaves his CPAP at home). Could easily fit 2 families of 4/5 very comfortably. 10/10. Kids were ready to move.

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!

Serenity Cove - 1 Acre, Fenced Yard, Private Ramp
Perfect place to get away for the weekend and well worth the price!

Cozy Private room with attached bathroom.
Very welcoming and clean. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay! Cayce is a great location, very central to all you’d want to access in Columbia and traffic in the area is never an issue. Would definitely recommend.

Large 1 bedroom apt/boat ramp &dock on Lake Murray
Excellent stay and hosts were very accommodating to our needs. We were in town for USC graduation and it was such a great place to escape for a few hours of rest in between events. Beautiful surroundings, my husband and kids used the kayaks and really enjoyed the time in the lake.

Luxe Lakefront Apartment w/ Shared Pool & Dock!
Jeff and Elizabeth are great hosts! They made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we walked through the door. They made fresh bread and had it waiting for us, along with an invite to a community event. Elizabeth and Jeff are lovely people and made us feel right at home. My teenage son told me to definitely book with them again next time I’m in town.

Charming Apartment with Lake Views: WiFi & Privacy
This location is very beautiful and quiet, the time I visited. This lake location would be a very busy place during the summer months. My week-long stay was very enjoyable for my work purposes. The internet was adequate. Thanks Vicki for hosting and sharing. Alvin

Lakefront Luxury Apartment ~ Lake Murray by Marina
We put on a lot of miles every day taking in the area while staying at your lake home. When we returned everyday OMGosh! So relaxing and comfortable. We didn't want to leave. We will miss our 3 new buddies too. And well decorated. Perfect y'all. Jeff & Nancy

Waterfront Cottage on Lake Murray w/private dock
House was perfect for a lake weekend with our family and our dogs.

Palmetto Cove Cottages
Tommie's home was perfect for our stay! We were in the area for our son's graduation from USC which was only about 40 minutes away, and got us out of the hustle and bustle of the downtown Columbia area. The house was very CLEAN, and accomodations were perfect for our family of 5 adults, with great eating places near by. I would definitely consider booking again if in the area.

Private cottage w/a view, Dock, SUPs, Kayaks
We were very pleased with our stay at the cottage. Everything matched the listing perfectly. The hosts provided a helpful book with information and local suggestions, which was great for those unfamiliar with the area. The location was fantastic. The view from the screened porch was stunning and peaceful throughout the day. We enjoyed watching the beautiful geese during our stay. The deck and boat launch were excellent, especially for my husband who was participating in a fishing tournament. Both were in great condition. We had a lot of fun using the kayaks. We're already looking forward to our next visit. No disappointments at all!

Entire Cottage on Lake Murray
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage on Lake Murray. Host Sheri was gracious, kind, and very attentive—she made sure we felt welcome and had everything we needed. The cottage itself is quaint and extremely clean, with a well-stocked kitchen that made meal prep easy and enjoyable. We loved the peaceful, secluded location—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The outdoor space was a highlight, with a hammock and chairs to unwind in and a lovely screened-in porch that was ideal for quiet evenings. The dock was perfect for fishing and enjoying the lake views. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unplug and recharge in a serene lakeside setting.

Breezy's Blyss Lake Murray Cottage
Wendy was wonderful! Place was so nice and had everything i needed. Would recommend this home and would stay again. Thanks for sharing your place.

Sunset Jewel with Private dock
Great place! Very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. The location is beautiful and peaceful. We stayed 6 nights and loved every minute. The outside screened room is spacious and such a perfect place to hang out. I work remotely and that is where I set up my work station and worked every day. The view made the work day more enjoyable. The internet connection was strong and fast making it easy to work remotely. If we ever need a place to stay on Lake Murray again, we will definitely seek out Carlos' place

Sunset Gem private dock & boat ramp on Lake Murray
We enjoyed 4 nights with our boat and pups at the Sunset Gem. The cabin has plenty of parking, easily accessible and absolutely spotless. The dock was perfect for our boat and our dogs loved swimming from the little boat ramp area. We even jumped off the dock for a dip due to the unseasonably hot weather. We only did light meal prep while there and brought our own portable gas grill but found the kitchen had all the basic items we needed. We loved boating down to Martin’s landing for ice runs and dinner at the grill and Mexican restaurant. It was so convenient! There is a larger boat ramp at Sunset Park 100 yards away. We thought the property was just perfect for our needs and hope to return.

Lake Murray Cottage on the Cove
We enjoyed our stay at Cottage on the Cove. Great location near town and boat ramp. Beautiful views of the lake in a nice quiet neighborhood. We would definitely stay again.
