Gilbert House | Large Log Cottage: Green Grass, Blue Skies, Lake Living

4 Bedroom House in Gilbert

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 two picnic tables 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.
Only 45 minutes from Columbia, 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.

"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.

Summary: Our two families enjoyed this cabin for a lake weekend trip. The cabin is perfectly set up for two families. Our favorite part was the backyard and view of the lake. The yard was perfect for playing wiffle ball and soccer with the kids. The dock allowed us to use our rented pontoon throughout the weekend. We hope to stay again!
