We are very close to the water - expect to see wildlife including bugs, lizards, birds, turtles, raccoons, squirrels, and the occasional deer. Regular pest treatments are done both inside and out but it is very easy for pests to slip into the house if doors or windows are left open.

There is one camera on the front of the house facing the driveway and front yard. There are 2 other cameras on the back of the house facing the backyard and patio area.

Good spot and location

House is nice and a good location. Pictures a little bit nicer than the actual. Rained so we didn’t get to use the outside like we wanted. Propane was out on grill and had to go find, but PM reimbursed and gave a bit more for the hassle. Floors could use a good cleaning. Spilled some water and used a white towel. Wasn’t white after that.Overall, nice place in a good location. We stayed here for the Masters.

Beautiful property, some issues

Fabulous location, beautiful setting on the lake for fishing, for enjoying sunrises and sunsets, Large, clean, and well appointed. There appears to have been some serious water damage to ceilings and floors that was aesthetically covered rather than properly repaired. Also, at this price point, we expected more luxurious linens. We would stay on this lake again.

graduation trip

Beautiful setting close to Columbia and all of the events we had to attend. The house was clean and there was plenty of room to relax. 2 small problems- the kitchen does not have enough serving pieces (spoons, blender, toaster...) and the kitchen faucet doesn't have any water pressure. Otherwise it was great!
