Loved staying at Kerri and Randy’s place. It is exactly as described. It’s very quiet, beds and couches super comfy. The overall place is very clean and kitchen well stocked. Our family had a great time playing ping pong and pool, enjoyed the hot tub, firepit, and multiple yard games. Host were a pleasure to meet and non-intrusive but there if needed. Also super convenient to Columbia. This is our go to place now!

Kerry and Randy were spectacular hosts! We loved the space, everything was extremely clean and the bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Sadly it rained our whole trip, so we didn’t get to experience lake Murray, but we’ll be back while we search for our next home. Everything you could need was a 5-10 minute drive which was perfect. Thank you both! Looking forward to brighter days on the next adventure!
