Sunset Cabin was the perfect quick getaway from the real world. The cabin was cozy, comfortable and calming. We enjoyed fishing from the dock and sitting by the fire in the crisp autumn air. Kathy was always available to answer any questions or give advice on local restaurants. Thank you, Kathy, for that. Being able to stay an extra day was an added bonus. We enjoyed it thoroughly! âïžâïžâïžâïžâïž
Kathy was ON THE BALL as far as communication is concerned. Check in is easy and she answered every question that we had promptly. The location was great for where we needed to be as well as easy to get to.
The property could use a good cleaning and it would have been a much more enjoyable stay.
Inside and out needs a good pressure washing, there are cobwebs inside the cabin. The home doesn't look like it gets enough use so it is a bit neglected. We went to use the kayak and had to remove a nest of baby snakes from inside.
If the home had more use ~ It would be an enjoyable place to stay. We must have been the first ones to stay in a while.
Don't mark this home off your list, just ask if they have been able to pressure wash outside and a deep cleaning inside before you book it.
This is the most adorable cabin on the lake! Our family loved staying here!
The cabin was very comfortable with all amenities. We had plenty of space, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, nice dock and wonderful views of the lake. The boat launch was around the corner at a marina with boat rentals available. We had a fun time and our teens are asking to go back!
We hope to do it again soon!
We've stayed at Lake Murray several times in much bigger houses just around the corner from this one--all of them faced west, which is great at sunset time. This house is NOT big, but it was my favorite for one primary reason: shade.
The other houses I've stayed in were "nicer" in ever way except neither had any shade anywhere near the water (one didn't have any shade all the way to the house). This is a big deal in the Summer in the second half of the day for a Western facing house. Unlike the other houses, this house has shade from the house down to the water which makes for several areas where you can hang out in comfort during the afternoon heat.
As a result, the living area of the house feels much bigger because we spent so much time on the decks/dock/Adirondack chairs by the water.
Don't bring a lot of stuff--most of what you need is in the house somewhere anyway (from ziploc bags to various food items to shampoo and games, this house had more items available to us than any rental I can recall)--as there is very little room to put it. I grumbled a bit about "if the house just had 5 more feet on each side..." but I would go back without hesitation. Wish I was back there now.
And what I've said is WITHOUT regard to the cost difference. This house is far cheaper than the other two I'd rented. Considering the value, it's a no-brainer for those who, like us, are there to enjoy the lake and not to watch TV in a big living room. We had a blast.
Great location on Lake Murray. Cute house that could fit all 8 of us, but a little challenging cooking and prepping within the smaller space. However, this was expected and did not take away from the experience. Would stay again.
Fantastic stay!! We spent most of our week out on the dock swimming and cooking. Interior was nice and clean. Kathy is a excellent host and was available to answer any and all questions!!
Three generations piled in for a USC graduation. Cabin was well provisioned. Great porches - two levels. Dock was perfect for swimming and fishing. No complaints at all.
This cabin was so comfy and relaxing for us to stay....it can sleep 10 comfortably, but there were only 2 of us, for 2 nights, and 4 of us for the other two nights. The cabin was more than big enough for all of us to be comfortable! We fished all day from the dock one of the days, and it was awesome!!! We caught bream, perch...and a GAR!!! How fun and scary was that??? Anyway, the cabin was awesome, the property was awesome, and we are having another family gathering at the lake, and i will try to grab this place again - yes, it was that good!
We had a wonderful long weekend stay in this cute log cabin property on the water. We decided to visit our USC student and stay at the lake instead of in town and we did not regret it! It's a well appointed, clean, quiet property.
We loved the dock, fire pit, and the pavilion by the water. Great for family and friends to hang out, relax, and enjoy. We even caught some good sized fish from the shore and the dock! Fun, fun! Thanks for allowing us to stay at your beautiful property!
We had such a great time! The cabin is so cozy & inviting. The beds are super comfortable & it is clean & has everything you can possibly need. It has all the necessary amenities, great views & an awesome fire pit. It is peaceful & serene. Great place to go & get away!
What a lovely cabin! We had plenty of room for our 9 family members and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere for evening charades. The dock was perfect and the kayaks were enjoyed by all. We would definitely stay again.
Wonderful rental with marina right around the corner. Dock and water sport options all right here. Super clean and no mosquitos!! Hope to come back next year.
I had the pleasure of staying in this home for 4 nights for my birthday with my husband and children. I also had 3 grandchildren during my stay and we had a fabulous time. My adult children and my 11 year old child enjoyed the kayaks and fishing from the dock. We caught various species of fish and enjoyed catching cat fish that were 3-5 lbs. The home was clean, beautiful and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We enjoyed the fire pit and roasting marshmallows as well as the grill on the deck with tables and chairs. We look forward to returning in the future.
From the drive way to the lake everything on this property is so beautiful had an amazing time with me and my family and my dogs the property owner always responded when needed and is super sweet and is very knowledgeable about the area means my family will definitely be returning here đ
My family of 7 spent a week at the cabin. We enjoyed kayaking, swimming, boating on the lake. The boat rental was within walking & kayaking distance and very convenient. We will definitely consider returning. Excellent and responsive host!
Kathy was so easy to communicate with, the cabin is absolutely beautifully. My family enjoyed coffee on the deck every morning, kayaking and watching the turtles and alligator gar pop up to say hi! We attempted to fish but the turtles were smarter. We had one storm during our stay and we sat underneath the pier deck listening to the thunder roll I wish we were still there!
