About this house rental
The Guinea Nest is a beautiful log home on a wooded lot with big water views, ideal for a family vacation, weekend getaway, or a fishing trip. A large, partially covered deck overlooks the spacious lawn, waterfront, dock, and two to five miles of Lake Murray's gorgeous open water. The deck also has a picnic table as well as a smaller table and chairs to enjoy an outdoor lunch or moonlight dinner. There is plenty of additional seating if you want to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the day.
An indoor wood-burning fireplace makes for a cozy setting when the weather is chilly. An outdoor fire pit at the water's edge is another option to enjoy a mild or cool evening.
The dock includes a bench for seating, umbrellas and plenty of area to sunbathe, two sets of stairs for easy access to and from the water for swimming, and water deep enough to handle your motorboat. There is a two-person canoe with paddles and two paddle boards for your enjoyment.
Our home is on the quiet side of the lake with minimal boat traffic and only a few neighbors. It has a southern view which means no blinding afternoon sun.
Only 45 minutes from Columbia and the University of South Carolina, 50 minutes from Fort Jackson and 60 minutes from Augusta National Golf Club (home of the Masters Tournament), the Guinea Nest is perfect for a graduation celebration, USC sports, or trip to the Masters. We’re also just 3 miles from Southern Oaks event center and a 20 minute boat ride to Dreher Island state park.
Yes, we are dog friendly (fee required) Check in time is 4:00 PM and check out is 10:00 AM. However, if no one is checking out or in on the days you arrive or depart, these times might be flexible.
"Clearly, the energy of love and family is strong and powerful here. We all felt it immediately upon entering the house." - This comment from a guest in a hand-written note exemplifies how we feel about the Guinea Nest and hope you will too.
Note: should cancellation occur, I will offset any forfeiture if we are able to book another guest.
Sorry, no events (such as wedding parties, bachelor or bachelorette parties).

Perfect location for a family vacation or small reunion Maybe a girls weekend. We were there for my sister's birthday. Her children joined us and a grandson. We enjoyed sitting by the fire pit sharing stories of the past. We brought our 2 mini daschunds who had a blast in all the free space. Some enjoyed the paddle boards and grandson brought his fishing boat. Hope to make it an annual event!
