Very Rude and Horrible Communication Had a great time…read morerenting the boat and enjoyed it for a few days. When returning the boat at 6, we did run out of gas at about .5 miles from the marina at 5:40. We had to get towed. When we got there Seth was horribly rude to all in the party. Told us it would be a full days charge if 30 minutes over. Also, we would have been back by then except that Seth told Brian(who was fantastic by the way) that we were in the opposite direction which caused for the delay. We were also told by Seth that the closest place to fill up with gas was at their marina, but when we arrived we were told that there are plenty of places to fill up. In the end they charged us for a full day because they needed the mechanic to watch them fill up (explanations made no sense). Anyways we take full responsibility for running out of gas but the cost seems absurd and the explanations even more so. A huge aspect of this review is simply to deal with the rudeness and money hungriness of this place. It costs nothing to be kind but apparently pays 300 dollars plus 127 for gas to be rude.

If you're in the area this is a great place to stop for current information as well as historical…read moreinformation. The Lorick plantation home was moved from its nearby origin and lovingly restored to its original grandeur. An addition to the back of the building provides a museum of sorts with interesting information about the history of Lake Murray in the region. It's not the most impressive place in terms of display and interpretation, but it is a really neat place. The upstairs is closed off as it is offices, but the main level has a lot of original detail. What is always very interesting to a lot of people who have never been to plantation home is that they really weren't very large and they aren't always opulent. This is a great example of a midlands plantations for a successful family. You don't need to dedicate a lot of time for this place but if you are within reach I would definitely recommend stopping by.
