I rented the house to stay at while in town visiting my parents and sister. My parents and sister (and her dog) came and went as their schedule allowed the week I was there (with my dog). The house was spacious. I liked that the master bedroom and master bath was located on one side of the house and the the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms located on the other as I am a very early riser and like to get ready first thing and my parents and sister are late risers and like to get ready later in the day. I stayed in the master and didn't disturb them with my early morning routine. The kitchen was well appointed. Master bed was hard, so bring a topper if you don't like that. The living room had a wall of windows and a glass door. The weather was such that we kept the door open and let the dogs go in and out on the porch, sunbathing. The fall trees were beautiful. The house in on a finger of Lake Murray, and the water was down when we were there - nothing the owner can control. But when sitting on the couch or porch, all you see are the beautiful trees anyways. You don't see the water unless you are leaning on the porch railing or on the ground outside, so you're not missing out. The neighborhood was quite and fine for walking dogs. The grocery stores are 25 min away, but there are plenty of store choices. We ate at the recommended pizza place and it was excellent. We also ate at a local Greek place, and it was also excellent. We used the grill on the deck one night.
