Cozy home for family bonding!

The home was well equipped with everything we needed and more to spend quality time gathering with family - both inside and outside the home in the spacious backyard and patio areas. Thank you to the Nykamp family for not just opening their home, but ensuring all amenities were well stocked so we didn’t have to worry about anything beyond our basic needs and enjoying each other. I also appreciate their responsiveness when contacted about anything regarding the home.

The Perfect Christmas gathering

We had a family gathering of 10, ages 1-67, and this house was a dream! Every bedroom was spacious, well appointed, and thoughtfully included its own full bath! The kitchen had tons of pots, pans, serving dishes, eating utensils, cooking utensils, and every appliance you might need. There was plenty of space to have numerous cooks in the kitchen at once, and lots of prep space, while being able to keep an eye on kids in the living area, or being part of the gathering in the family room. We had a few rainy days and made use of the fireplace in the family room, as well as a multifunctional round table in the entryway for playing games (could also be used for dining). The main dining table easily seated 8 adults, and could accommodate adding the provided high chair for our one year old.The back patio is huge, includes a grill, and has several useful spaces for gathering or games, enjoying the fire table, and a swinging porch bed, which the kids loved. The house also included a large metal portable gate that can block off access to the stairs and yard if needed for children or a dog. It was a lifesaver for our little ones.The yard and lake access is wonderful! Three of our party did several polar plunges, while the rest of our party enjoyed the firepit, and playing frisbee in the yard.We also especially appreciated that Tom and Angie had decorated the house for Christmas! We enjoyed having three lovely trees, as well as garlands, and small seasonal touches throughout!

Family of 12 Birthday Celebration

Our family gathered together to celebrate my 60th birthday, and the Nykamp Lake House exceeded our expectations! Every comfort was graciously and thoughtfully provided. If you're reading this review, I'm sure the first thing you want to know is the level of cleanliness. You'll have no worries in this house. Every inch is cleaned thoroughly - We didn't have to use our travel housekeeping kit at all. The kitchen had all the cookware and serving ware necessary for our formal birthday dinner party. The appliances are new, clean, and well maintained. Each bedroom has a king bed (except the kids' room) that is unbelievably comfortable! We slept in the principal bedroom on the first floor and were WOWed! My wife is a travel blogger, so we stay in hotels and vacation rentals often. Needless to say the Nykamp's has become her favorite. They provided everything from cardboard to start the fire pit, coffee, cozy lap blankets extra pillows/blankets, handsoap, cleaning products to restaurant recommendations. They were available to answer all of our questions and responded promptly. I can't rave enough about this beautiful home!We will definitely be back and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for affordable luxury, an abundance of space to spend time with your loved ones. Thanks, Nykamp family, for sharing your space with us!

Better Than the Photos

This beautiful home was everything we needed for our Thanksgiving family gathering. Every bedroom has an en suite bath, kitchen is fully stocked with equipment, utensils, etc. (I always bring a couple of favorite pans to rentals, but never needed them.)The lake view is better than the photos, as the lot faces the widest part of Lake Murray. Large back yard for kids and a large dock (bring a light tackle rod and a couple of lures). Tom, the host, is THE BEST. This VRBO gets an A+++

Blown away!

This was hands down the best vacation home my family and I have ever stayed in! Excellent communication with the host who is incredibly nice! When you walk in you feel like you’re in a family/friends house rather than a sterile rental house. There isn’t a bad view from any room. Anything you could think of is in the house from extra blankets, to pillows, to games and movies. So much love and thought was poured into this house, loved the personalized coasters and cups! There was plenty of space for my family to gather together and plenty of space to be alone as well. We had a day or two of rain but we were still able to spend time outside on the huge back porch. The swing was most popular. We enjoyed our time so much we’ve already started planning our return trip!

Lovely home. It's great for larger groups or several family members together because each bedroom is en suite (even the bunk room). There were only 7 of us, but the house can accommodate more people

Lovely home

Our stay was wonderful until Hurricane Helene decided to pay us a visit. The home is beautiful and the lake is gorgeous. Power was lost and we had to leave early. The owner stayed in contact with us and was incredibly gracious and was concerned for all of us. I would definitely return for another visit.

Family Vacation

Our family is spread among 3 states so we picked this location for a family vacation. The property was outstanding. It was clean, well appointed and very comfortable.

Amazing House!

This house was amazing! The house is gorgeous with a spacious layout and so well equipped for a large group to comfortably stay there together. Linens are lovely, kitchen offerings were plentiful with every appliance and great functional space for large groups to cook and clean together. The lake view is perfect from every room in the back of the house too, with so much comfortable outside seating. Our visit was just too short but we will definitely be back again! Tom made check in and check out a breeze and he answered many questions ahead of time in a super timely manner. We loved every minute there!

Clean and wonderful lake house with all the amenities we needed

Communication with the owner, Tom, was the best I've had in any experience we've had in renting homes like this. Tom responded immediately to my messages pre-stay, and then stayed in close contact throughout our stay to make sure everything was great. The house was wonderful to say the least. It was by far the most clean home we've rented. The kitchen was beyond stocked, the linens and other items supplied were spotless. In short, it was obvious that we were renting a house that this family actually uses, it's not just a rental property for them. If this wasn't a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us (it was a fairly expensive trip), I would rent again in a heartbeat.

It had everything we could need. Everyone had plenty of space to themselves and also plenty of room to gather comfortably. Sunsets and stars were amazing! Thank you Tom & Angie!!

Graduation Weekend Stay

This home is absolutely amazing! It's beautiful inside and outside. We had 8 people stay here for my daughter's college graduation weekend...4 nights (2 sets of grandparents, my 2 college aged kids and my husband and myself). Both sets of grandparents were able to have rooms downstairs. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. The house and porch were so spacious that people could all be together, but not feel like we were on top of each other, or we could spread out and have some quiet time. The hosts were very responsive when I had questions....and were very patient with me. We could not have asked for better hosts. The house is equipped with everything you could need....from kitchen supplies to water toys, etc. Everyone enjoyed their time at the house and it made my daughter's graduation even more special. It is about a 45 minute drive into Columbia, but it is an easy drive and went by very quickly. I highly recommend this house for a relaxing stay on a beautiful lake.

Beautiful!

Everything about this property is beautiful! Once you walk into the house, you feel at home and the view of the lake just makes it even better than anticipated. We went the week before Christmas and the owners (Tom∠ie) had Christmas trees and the house decorated and of course, it was beautiful! The beds, furniture and outside porch were a hit with everyone. The kitchen was so well stocked with everything we needed - we love to cook as a family and there was plenty of room for the cooks and the ones that love to hang out in the kitchen. The owner (Tom) responded immediately to all our questions and even shared their decorating information! I love the house so much that I am stealing their decorating/paint colors and furniture ideas! Everyone had space to hang out and the bunk room is a bonus for teens. We did not have time to experience the lake and fire pit and we will definitely be going back! Words can not adequately describe Tom and Angie's home, you must experience it and you will not be disappointed!
