An amazing location with a beautiful view of the lake and an awesome dock & boat ramp. The cottage is well stocked and very comfortable. Small but great for some time away for 2-5 people.

Wonderful Lakefront Cottage!

This cottage was perfect for our South Carolina visit to attend a family wedding nearby. Very comfortable with a nice screened porch on the waterside. We brought a kayak so we also enjoyed paddling on the lake. Highly recommend!

Wonderful lake cabin

This small cabin right on the lake is exactly how it is pictured on VRBO. It was extremely clean and communication with Candy was immediate and helpful. We did have a little difficulty with the front door lock but Candy fixed it remotely right away. The kitchen needs more drinking glasses. The dog pen is fantastic and shaded and the dogs enjoyed being able to run free. All in all, it was a great long weekend getaway with the grandkids who wore themselves out jumping off the deck and swimming. Sunsets are beautiful off the back porch. Highly recommend this lake front cottage.

Beautiful stay in Chapin on Lake Murray

This is a precious lake cottage perfect for a small family and pet. The property is cozy, super clean, and pet friendly. It's quiet and relaxing but still very close to cute shops, places to eat, and grocery stores in Chapin. You will not be disappointed planning your lake getaway staying here!

Heaven

This house is so cozy and right on the water. I drank coffee on the dock. I read on the back porch facing the lake. I went running with my dogs. We watched the sun go down on the dock with a glass of wine. If the owners ever want to sell this place I am very much interested!
