4.97 out of 5 average rating, 147 reviewsLakefront home on Lake Murray with private dock
Our family and friends recently stayed here and had a wonderful experience. The place was as described, stylishly decorated, and had all the amenities we needed. The host was incredibly attentive and responsive, making sure everything went smoothly. Overall, it was a relaxing and comfortable stay, and I would definitely recommend this property to others. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 172 reviewsMoonshine Bay
Had a great stay at Moonshine Bay! Place was clean and had a well stocked kitchen that made cooking a breeze, beds were comfortable, toiletries and towels and more (welcome bottle of wine!) were provided, and there was a binder with all necessary check out info and recommendations. The back porch was our favorite for meals and was well equipped with fans, a heater, furniture, and a gate for the dog. The neighbor was kind enough to let our 6 year old use the swing and he also gathered firewood for us while we were gone one afternoon and left it by the fire pit. We loved using the kayaks provided, but the paddle board and a few other water toys were in rough shape. Wished we could’ve swam a bit more, but the recent storms brought in a lot of logs/sticks/debris that made the beach and shallow area harder to enjoy. Overall we had a really nice time and comfortable stay! We would recommend it without hesitation to others and would love to come back again.

Home in Ridgeway
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 128 reviews3000 sq ft lake house with views from every window
This house was perfect for our family get together! The layout was great with three bedrooms on one end of the house and (essentially) a guest suite on the other. Answers to any questions we had were posted on the wall in the kitchen with the exception of kid friendly activities. I reached out to Katie about it and she was quick to respond with nearby towns and suggestions. The space was clean and the outdoor space was super peaceful from the screened in porch to the waterside deck. We would definitely stay here again!
Home in Gilbert
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 155 reviews10 Mile View on Lake Murray w/ Dock and Ramp
A beautiful & peaceful stay! As a local to Lexington, I can assure that it would be tough to find another location with better views of Lake Murray! Plus, grocery stores and the main shops of Lexington were right down the road. The house was perfect as described and had listed amenities. The airbnb was peaceful and quiet location, even with neighbors who were often out and about. Luckily the weather was still good enough in late-October to take the kayaks out. The cove itself was beautiful and a perfect spot for kayaking, away from the hustle and bustle of the main lake/boating area, so we felt safe (as a frequent kayaker of lake Murray, I don’t feel this way in many spots). We didn’t rent a boat or use the dock, but definitely considering it for the future!

Cottage in York
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 186 reviewsSweet Surrender lakefront cabin w/stunning views
We visited on a girls’ trip and loved it. We could only getaway for one night, but we really enjoyed our stay and would visit again. My best friend and I brought paddle boards and spent a couple of hours both days paddling around the large lake, and then several more hours just floating in the water between the beach and the dock. In the morning we watched the sunrise from the dock while eating the delicious homemade muffins that Elissa made. She messaged us that morning asking if we had any allergies, and when we checked in 4 hours later, she had already made 2 different treats with our restrictions in mind. From beginning to end, they were both friendly and welcoming and I hope we have a chance to come back!

Cottage in Townville
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 171 reviewsCottage on the Lake
Mary was such a great host despite much unknown due to a hurricane hitting the area. She was proactive in giving instructions and still allowed us to stay even when there was no power for some of the stay due to the storm. The place was wonderful perfect for our group going to Clemson’s homecoming weekend. Price was a steal! The place was very clean and homey - we can’t wait to stay here again!
Cottage in Rock Hill
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 109 reviewsUpdated Lakefront @ The Fox Cottage
My husband and I stayed for a long weekend to visit our grown kids and grandkids who live in the area. It was absolutely lovely from A-Z! Beautiful renovation outcome. So fresh, inviting, yet warm. Nestled in the woods with nearly 180-degree view of lake from front yard and almost same from inside house looking through the walls/doors of glass that run across the front of the house. We saw cormorants, great blue heron, multiple other birds, and a fox! Such treats of nature! We felt nestled amongst it. Beds and linens were comfey. Pristine showers with no visible mold (this is rare; of course it is a newer renovation so has not had but so much time for mold to become evident, but wow!) Great storage in bathrooms each with closet and big drawers under sinks. I liked the fact that there is no TV in the family room, but instead that gorgeous view. Each bedroom, including loft bedroom, has its own very nice TV. Fabulous preparatory information provided by hosts.
Cottage in Prosperity
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 129 reviewsSunset Gem private dock & boat ramp on Lake Murray
We were very comfortable here. Everything was very convenient - open concept in kitchen/living room was great. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. Coffee on the screened in porch in the morning was awesome.
Cottage in Townville
4.82 out of 5 average rating, 111 reviewsMillion dollar view lakehouse!
Sunrise was BEAUTIFUL!! Love this location. Our son was in a college bass tournament at Green Pond which is just around the corner. So watching take off & weigh in was on 15 minutes by car or even closer by boat. Love neighbors too. Thankfully for their help!
Cottage in Bonneau
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 190 reviewsRelax at the Lakehouse with a dock
This place is so amazing if you are looking to relax, fish and get away from the hustle. There is a great big lunking bass that hangs around the dock in the back that I was unable to catch. House was set up perfect to cook your own meals. We also ate out some at a couple local dinners. Gillian’s hush puppies are so good. Evelyn’s is a great place for breakfast. Music man BBQ had all you can eat fried chicken that was really good. The drive to Charleston is only an hour away. Lots to do. The Free bus in Charleston visitors center is so easy to get around town. We also recommend Market street, bulldog walking tours, horse carriage rides, Angel oak, 4 brothers fishing. Go to Lewis BBQ for some great smoked meat. We took the sprit dinner boat cruse it was not that great. I totally recommend Michael’s lake house for your vacation.
