It was a perfect spot for my husband and I , our dog absolutely had a ball on the beautiful beach, the view was amazing very clean and host very accommodating, would stay there again!
We really enjoyed your little piece of paradise so much! It was perfect for our wedding weekend trip. Even though he weather was not great for enjoying the lake, we enjoyed the house very much. We even watched Father of the Bride!! Perfect for Wedding Weekend happenings. We will come back to Lake Murray and hope to stay at your place again.
We loved everything about our stay. It was well equipped with the basics, plus some! Clean and well kept property on a quiet road with plenty of space to relax. Loved being able to use the kayaks and canoes as well as the grill. Hope to be able to come back again in the fall!
Full kitchen with utensils for eating and indoor and outdoor cooking (pots, pans, knives, spatulas) as well as some seasonings in the pantry. Bathroom had plenty of body wash, hair products and paper products with towels and wash cloths. Very clean inside and out with lots of entertainment inside and out. Our host Leilany was very helpful and quick with responding to any questions or requests.

We loved the location and made use of a kayak to explore the lake. It was peaceful and enjoyed meeting people in the area. We ate at the restaurants recommended by the owners and enjoyed them!
We stayed for a girls weekend- two friends from elementary school! Wonderful place- close to Chapin, perfect lake vibe. Peaceful with the best neighbors who were very friendly and made us feel like we were home! We used the sandy beach, kayaks and paddle board. Enjoyed the fire pit and the deck! Thinking about bringing my family back!! Clean and comfortable!
We had a wonderful stay over Christmas and will definitely book again! Everything was as pictured and advertised and the hosts were really great to work with!!! Definitely recommend.
This cozy little house was the perfect place to relax. The house was beautifully decorated and clean with the perfect amount of actuvities to keep everyone busy and happy. The owner even let us extend our stay an hour or so bc we just weren't ready to leave we typically rent a different house every year, but this will always be our first pick now!
The property was a perfect home base for a fishiing trip for two brothers. It was clean and well furnished. The dock and beachfront are quite nice. We were able to have our fishing guide pick us up right off the dock. The neighborhood is super quiet. Restaurants and groceries are nearby in the town of Chapin. Lake Murray is just beautiful. This house is in a quiet cove only a few minutes off of the main channel. See pics of our results.
My husband and I stayed at the cottage for our anniversary. The cottage is adorable and plenty of space had we had more people. Very clean. The bed was super comfortable and the kitchen had all the essentials we needed. The lakefront view was incredible and we were able to get out on the paddle boards. Quite neighborhood but close to restaurants and grocery if needed. We would definitely stay again!! Thank you!!
It was perfect. Had everything we needed.Property manager went above and beyond
