My stay at Serenity Now gave me exactly what I needed ... serenity. Although I was there with my dog only, the place is very versatile and would be great for a family stay or a trip with friends. I saw lots of beautiful wildlife during my visit (ducks, turtles, deer, rabbits and an armadillo), something I'm sure kids would enjoy. The location is peaceful and quiet and just around the corner from the big water area.

Lake Murray was a great pit stop while dropping our son off at U of SC. This house comfortably met our needs and we especially liked the roomie back porch to sit on. The dock is lovely, being able to jump right into Lake Murray was a bonus. Bring some floats with you if you go, we did and had a great time hanging in the lake!

We enjoyed our stay so much at Serenity Now! Perfect location on the water and to town. The kids enjoyed the outdoor games , sandy beach and fire pit. The house was clean, the beds comfortable and the house had everything we needed for cooking and grilling. We will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful house and property. Perfect for our family of 6 and our dog. Easy lake to paddle on. Our host was very accommodating and included a lot of nice touches at the house. Hope to be back over the next few years with our son starting college.

Great location and well stocked. Boat ramp is a plus, deep water off the dock and really nice neighborhood and quiet cove. Plenty of room for evening meals and games on the screened porch. Wonderful backyard with beach setting and bonfire. Great communication with host.

Lake Murray

This place was very clean and nice. Plenty of space for a multi family stay. It was a nice and quiet neighborhood right on the lake. Enjoyed watching the sun rise and set sitting on the big screened in porch.

Lake Home

Great Lake home with beautiful views! The screened in porch is for sure where you’ll spend most of your time - it’s fantastic! For more than 4-6 guests the living/dining area is on the small side. We enjoyed this home with our Yorkie and had a wonderful time.

Serenity on the Lake

It was perfect! The location of the house on the lake was great. Very peaceful . The house in itself was just perfect for our family. The only complaint was the heat…we were hoping for the temps to be just a little cooler…but Mother Nature had her own ideas. But being able to jump in the water and cool of was wonderful. We will definitely be back to Lake Murray

Fishing Tournament

There were 6 men that dated at this property for 3 nights. We were all there for fishing tournament. The communication with Todd was fantastic, the location of the property on lake was great, and there was plenty of room for all of us in the house. We had 3 trucks and 3 bass boats. The parking was very tight. We were hoping to use the ramp on the property but there was no way that was happening. There is a nice ramp with plenty of parking about 2 miles from the house. We had a great time staying at this property and would for sure recommend.

Beautiful & Relaxing

We had a great week with family at the Serenity Now!! The house was beautiful. Everything was as described and we had no issues. The location and the views were amazing. We enjoyed relaxing on the screened in porch, tubing, fishing, and floating in the water. We did go to Walmart and purchased floats but the swim noodles provided worked great for the men! Our family have been taking lake vacations for the past 6 years and this one was probably the best yet! We just enjoyed everything about this house and the Chapin & Irmo area. We even went into Charlotte for the Carolina Panthers fan fest! The local Mexican Restaurant was 10/10. We enjoy traveling our state of SC. Thank you! Would definitely rent again! **Pet Friendly **
