Top Lake Murray Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Columbia/Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"Good experience, need microwaves in rooms. Going to front desk each time to use the hotel microwave is inconvenient to the guests. If you are on the above floors you need to go to the 1st floor each time. It’s good for Hyatt hotel less expense for each room. Not good for guests, it interrupts their hotel experience of enjoying their visit. I understand you have restaurants to eat in. However, people who have special diets or who have need to warm up children’s food or baby formula it’s a nightmare to go up and down the floors just to eat food. Hotel please give it some thought to make changes to accommodate your guests needs over your need to save expense or prioritize your restaurants profits. The Hyatt is a very nice hotel overall. We will not stay again due to lack of microwave in the rooms."

Amazing lake house on Lake Murray, Columbia w/ private dock, outdoor kitchen.

10/10 Excellent

"It didn't take long to figure out why they call it The Getaway. The pictures didn't do this property justice at all. The house has amazing detail, but it's the property that is really spectacular. It's incredibly large and is just absolutely beautiful. There are three fire pits in different areas. The outdoor kitchen is amazing. There are multiple places to sit down by the dock or by the kitchen or out on the grass. It really is just an incredible place, so peaceful and truly a getaway. The entire neighborhood is quiet, yet when you go for a walk and run into neighbors, everyone is incredibly friendly. I am looking forward to booking again."

Brick Bliss on Broadreach | 4BR 3.5BA

8/10 Good

"This home was clean and welcoming and in a quiet neighborhood, which worked well for us. Our four adults group enjoyed all having our own bedrooms and own bathrooms (including the 1/2 bath). I would have given 5 stars except for the semi-unfinished closet off the master bath and the relatively dim lighting in the master bath. If you're looking for a large, peaceful place near the lake but much more affordable than waterfront, I recommend this home."

Lakefront Heaven! Pool, Cabana, Big yard & porches, kayak, In Lex! Boat Option!

10/10 Excellent

"The hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming to their home. This is our second visit with them and it was perfect for our family. The property is beautiful with a lakeside pool and cabana. The house is stocked and has everything you need to enjoy your time at the lake. We will definitely stay again! TY T&S"
