    We have visited this cottage many times, it is always clean, comfortable, well stocked, and what a view! We brought our kids and grandkids this time and everyone had a great time:) D & D are the most accommodating hosts and nicest people, they have thought of everything! Thank you for sharing all the great amenities from Island Trail- I think we used them all- dock, boat ramp, pool, hot tub, kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, water trampoline and the pontoon trip! Thanks for everything D & D...till next time!

    The property is beautiful. And the hostess's are lovely with their southern charm! Would highly recommend staying at their accommodation, whether it’s in one of their 3 guest rooms (all facing the lake) or in the cottage, which is a 2 bedroom, living room, with a kitchen, private patio facing the lake, along with a boat deck. Phenomenal view of Lake Murray!

    My family stayed at the cottage for a long weekend celebrating a college graduation. Parents, grandparent and friends relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful scenery, while the kids had a blast with all of the water amenities, even in the rain! The cottage had everything we needed, and Debra and Jeff could not have been more pleasant or accommodating!

    Debra and Dennis were the most welcoming hosts. They have a beautiful property on Lake Murray with the several VRBO options. We stayed in their 2 bedroom cottage. We loved that it was right on lake Murray with a trampoline in the lake, and many different boat options. They also make their pool available to their VRBO guests. We had privacy to explore, yet they made themselves available when needed. Debra and Dennis have thought of everything a guest could need. I highly recommend this lake front property. Our family with a 2 year old and 12 year old enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thank you Debra and Dennis. You made our first VRBO stay very memorable and one we look forward to repeating. A 5 star stay!!

    The Island Trails Cottage is super comfortable with so many above and beyond comforts of home added for guests both inside and outside. Literally, just bring your clothes. Hosts, Debra and Dennis could not be any nicer nor more accommodating. The property is immaculate and location perfect for our need of reconnecting with friends in the area. We were very appreciative of a private launch ramp, a safe place to dock our boat overnight and ideal spot for the trailer. We would not hesitate to stay again.
