From the owner: Thank you. I’m glad the house was comfortable and clean during your stay. I truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back whenever you’re in the area again!
We went to Chapin for 2 weeks to have the Christmas holiday with our family. The house is lovely and has every accommodation that you could want. The beds are comfortable, too. If we go back next year I will want to stay in this home again.

Marc, thank you so much for your kind words! I’m delighted you felt at home and that the little touches made your stay easier and sweeter. It means the world to know you’ll always choose to stay here. When you come back, you’ll find newly installed charging stations and lighting for your boat, along with fresh cookies waiting for you. I look forward to welcoming you again!
We had the most incredible stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and even better than the photos. Every little detail was thoughtfully considered — from the cozy linens and fully stocked kitchen to the welcoming touches like fresh cookies waiting for us.The location couldn’t have been more perfect — able to go for walks during the day around the circle and so close to our family on Lake Murray. The house felt tucked away enough to feel completely private and peaceful. We especially loved relaxing on the deck in the evenings, watching the sunset and listening to the sounds of nature.The host was absolutely wonderful — responsive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best stay possible. Communication was clear and easy, and check-in/check-out were seamless.We’ve stayed in quite a few vacation rentals, but this one truly stands out. It felt like a home away from home — only better! We can’t wait to come back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a five-star experience. Comfy beds, great water pressure and just a wonderful cozy stay! We will be back :)
