We loved our stay at Lake Marian & the view from the living room and back deck was awesome! We loved watching the squirrels scamper around on the surrounding trees & on the deck. The house was comfortable, especially the beds. The shower was amazing! This place has had a lot of updates. And it was super-quiet. The host was extremely accommodating. The location is excellent. Just an hour's drive to Congaree National Park, 1 & 1/2 hour to the ocean at Charleston with great beaches, & many other sights in the area that we enjoyed!
