Lake Murray Private Dock with Gazebo

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviews3 weeks ago

The neighbors were extremely nice and friendly. We felt extremely safe at their home. The availability of the dock was ideal for docking my boat. The view of the lake was spectacular and the wildlife of osprey, geese, ducks, and the blue heron was mesmerizing! We had a wonderful and very relaxing stay!

"Serenity Now"-Sunsets/ Beach/ Water On 3 Sides

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 26 reviews1 month ago

We were looking for a place to spend a few days with our kids and grandkids who live in TN (we are in NC) where we could "meet in the middle". Serenity Now was the perfect choice with plenty of space for all of us, plenty of things to do on site (indoor and outdoor games, fishing off the pier, burn ban statewide prevented use of the fire pit sadly). We were close enough to Columbia to make a trip to the Riverbanks Zoo (we all loved that). Todd and Kathy provide a well stocked house. The beds are very comfortable, we didn't have any trouble sleeping! Or maybe the grandkids just wore us out that much! Thanks for sharing your amazing lake front home! We had an amazing time!
