Escape to The Lake House on Lake Murray – A Peaceful Waterfront Retreat in South Carolina

Welcome to The Lake House, your idyllic lakefront vacation rental on Lake Murray, South Carolina. This charming two-story retreat offers the perfect balance of tranquility and outdoor adventure, nestled in a quiet wooded cove with a private dock and gazebo overlooking the breathtaking waters of Lake Murray.

Spacious & Comfortable Lakeside Living
With over 2,300 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests—ideal for families or groups seeking a peaceful escape. The luxurious Master Suite features a king bed and private ensuite bathroom. Additional bedrooms include the serene Rose Room (king bed), and the connected Blue (queen bed) and Twin Rooms (2 twin beds), each designed for relaxation and restful nights.

Prime Location – Secluded Yet Convenient
Located in a protected-water cove, our lake house offers peaceful seclusion while being just 3 miles from shopping, dining, and grocery stores. Enjoy the serenity of lakeside living without sacrificing access to essential conveniences and local attractions.

Lake Murray Adventures at Your Doorstep
Take full advantage of Lake Murray’s water activities—from boating and watersports to swimming or fishing right off your private dock. Prefer to stay on land? Enjoy a nature-filled walk along the lake path or unwind in the waterside gazebo with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine.

Fully Equipped Kitchen & Outdoor Dining
The modern kitchen is fully stocked with modern appliances, cookware, and everything needed to prepare delicious home-cooked meals. Dine indoors at the family-style dining table or head outside for al fresco meals, whether on the patio or in the gazebo with a lakeside view.

Entertainment & Comfort
After a day on the water, relax in the cozy Living Room featuring a ROKU flat-screen TV, high-speed WiFi, and plenty of games, puzzles, and cards for quality time together. Whether you're unwinding with a movie or enjoying sunset views from the gazebo, every evening is a memory in the making.

Peaceful, Family-Friendly Setting
Located on a quiet private cul-de-sac with just three other homes (all full-time residents), The Lake House is best suited for families or groups looking to unwind in a relaxed, respectful environment. This is not a party house, but a peaceful sanctuary perfect for those seeking a restorative getaway.

Book your stay at The Lake House on Lake Murray and experience the best of South Carolina lakefront living — where unforgettable memories and peaceful moments await.

First off this house is one of the cutest I’ve vacationed in. It had a home feel to it. The lake is a big bonus. The host literally had everything we needed and more. She even left us a welcome gift with snacks and water and a handwritten welcome card. It was the perfect touch.I would definitely stay here again!

I've stayed at many Vrbos and this one BY FAR had the most amenities I've ever encountered. Seriously, it had everything you could think of needing. The property was beautiful. We were there visiting our son at USC and it was an easy drive to campus & the stadium. Check in/out process was simple. Communication was excellent. Sara made the whole experience really easy. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back for another stay!

Charming and beautiful house with everything we needed. We had a wonderful family stay! Loved the fact the dock is shaded and has a covered pergola with ceiling fans. Many docks are too hot and in full sun. This one is perfect.

The Lake House was as advertised in a quiet, neighborhood on Lake Murray. Would definitely stay again. Sara was a great host. House was equipped with toiletries, paper towels, trash bags, condiments in frig and ice in freezer. Also, had a nice welcome basket from the host.

Property was as described or better. We came for a poker run, brought a 34 center console. Driveway accommodated the trailer, dock accommodated the boat. House was extremely clean, dock had a Gazebo which I assumed was grandfathered in, because it was rare on the lake to see that. Will plan on coming back. This is my first VRBO experience and so far it was great.

My family and I, (7 Adults) stayed 3 nights for my nephew’s wedding at a venue just 3 miles down Highway 6. I can’t rave more about the accommodations and ease of everything. The house is well supplied and there are detailed instructions for everything. Being February, we didn’t use the dock very much, but it would be awesome in warmer weather. Location is very convenient, only about 20-25 minutes from downtown Columbia. We booked Ubers to and from the wedding venue with less than 20 minute waits. Highly recommend if you are looking for a lake house for your family to enjoy.

Our weekend at the lake house could not have gone smoother! Sara was extremely fast to reply to any questions and the house far exceeded expectations. Every "i" was dotted and "t" crossed to make it as comfortable for us as possible. All the way down to the water bottles and snack basket on the counter when we arrived. The house was very close to everything you could need. We rented a pontoon boat from Better Boats(6 mins away) and had a blast! The deer and other wildlife were icing on the cake for a relaxing trip. Thank you!!!

Sara was the best host I have had so far in all my VRBO stays. Excellent welcome basket, but more important she had the freezer full of ice for us, lots of excellent extra for enjoying the house, the lake, and the local area. The house is luxurious and super comfortable, there were interesting books, lots of channels, kitchen was super user friendly, and super convenient to local grocery (less than 2 miles away).

We were in town for my son’s graduation from basic training at Fort Jackson. We were blessed to find this perfect lake house to come back to and relax to the max! Sara was a wonderful host, and we couldn’t have asked for more!!

This was the perfect setting for our family to reconnect! The house and location were perfect and slept our family of 8 very comfortably. There isn't anything they didn't think of, from the welcome basket to the well labeled outdoor accessories and beautiful view from the gazebo. Sara was an amazing host and we can't wait to go back!

This is a nice lake house. We attended U of SC graduation & the house was much more comfortable than a hotel would have been. Thanks for sharing your home!
