The Quack Shack

Get cozy on the shores of beautiful Lake Murray. This air conditioned 2BR/1BA home is nestled in a quiet cove with stunning waterfront views. The master bedroom has a queen bed, while the second has a twin over twin bunk bed. The living room also has a queen size sleeper sofa. This little cabin will comfortably sleep up to 6 guests. Spend your days floating around in the walk out swimming area, or get out on the water in one of our kayaks. With a bait shop and boat launch just minutes away, you are welcome to tie up your power boat on the new dock. And the fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down. Spend your evenings grilling a fresh caught dinner, and create even more memories sitting around the fire pit. Don't forget the s'mores! If you're looking for a more catered experience, there are several restaurants nearby. Whether you travel by car or boat, excellent local cuisine is just minutes away. Welcome to the Quack Shack. Make yourselves at home and enjoy!

Love the Lake
The Quack Shack is located at a very peaceful part of Lake Murray. We had our own Kayaks and kayaking was great. Our Sheltie loved the fenced in yard and we had a nice visit with the neighbors. Every kind of need was available if we needed it. Great location, great relaxing stay.

Great little place with everything you need
This place is well stocked with kayaks, life jackets, floats, firewood, Chairs etc. Location is great, but drive way is very steep and it can be hard to turn around in--watch the trees! It has a washer and dryer and allows pets (we didn't have them, but that's cool). It even has dog and duck treats. My only complaint is that it could have been a little cleaner--mostly the floor and then some dust on light fixtures and places that some people wouldn't notice, but I did. Plus, the bedroom with the bunk beds does not have AC. There is a fan, but it stays warmer in there than the rest of the house. Great little place for the weekend!

Perfect lakeside house in summer
Loved that the place was equipped with not only basic amenities but also lake gear such as for fishing, kayaking, and stand up paddling! It’s a great place to pass the time.

Peaceful
It’s a great place to stay if you’re planning on staying put. Coffee on the back porch, overlooking the lake, was the highlight of every morning. Since we were in the area to get to know Lexington, it was a bit too far out for our purposes. Would have liked to have known there was a paddle board on property so I could have left mine at home and saved some space in the car but not the end of the world. 😊 Overall a great little place at the lake.

Great spot on Lake Murray
The Quack Shack was perfect for our group of 4, especially on a full moon! We picked the spot because some of our friends live nearby and we planned to be out in their boat on the Lake with them enjoying the water all weekend. The view of the water couldn't have been better and the rustic little lake house was perfect for the weekend. Unfortunately, while we were enjoying the full moon on the patio outside, one of the chaise lounger chairs gave way under one of us and broke. The next day, the host let us know we'd be responsible for the damage (read the fine print). We were happy to pay for the chair that was broken even though it was in the course of normal use. The host wanted us to pay for the set of two chairs instead of just the one we'd damaged, which didn't seem fair. The weekend ended with several hours of emailing, speaking with VRBO via chat and phone before resolving the issue. It was a shame to end such a nice weekend on a sour note.

Great Lake House(May 2024)
we had a great time even though the weather didn't go the way we thought it would. It rained most the time. We loved the direct access to the lake and dock. The house was just the right size for our stay. Was awesome to see all the turtles, frogs, fish, ducks, and cranes. The neighbors were friendly and their dogs were chatty Pomeranian, but did not bother us as we have dogs of our own. Only downfall which was not a deal breaker, but the beds were not super comfortable to us but may work for someone else. We are already talking about another trip.

House was nice and clean. We enjoyed the fenced in yard for our 2 small dogs. The yard needs more space to accommodate parking and maneuvering a full size truck and 18’ boat.

When I first walked in the door, I noticed how clean it smelled. It cones with its quirks, as its an older bungalow, but there was not a thing that we were lacking. The property and the location were 10 star. The host was 10 star. We'll be back!

My spouse, pup I came down for our grandson’s baseball tournaments. Neighbors were very nice, & it was peaceful. Our daughter & family came over on the last night & we had wonderful family time! Fishing, eating on the picnic table, playing games! We also loved the gorgeous sunrises were just some of our favorite moments. We saw a Goat 😍 on the neighbor's property (2) lots down!

The Quack Shack
The whole process and communication with Jon was wonderful. He is very responsive and quick with getting back to messages, great host!! We came all the way from Wisconsin, as my son had graduated from Fort Jackson Army boot camp. About a 41 minute commute to the base. Would definitely stay again. The lake view is amazing, its quiet, the neighbors are very nice. I rated the cleanliness 3 stars, only because they are in the process of some renovations, so some dust is to be expected. Other than that, everything else was outstanding!! The host literally thought of everything that one may need to enjoy all the amenities. Fishing poles and tackle, kayaks, gear, it was an amazing stay, and would recommend if anyone is thinking about staying, just book it. Thank you Jon for a great stay!!
