Everything was very clean and comfortable. Our dogs enjoyed having a place to run and we had plenty of room inside for their crate. I didn’t take any pictures but did make a video for our children to see. Such a lovely place to stay.

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay in Chapin. The hosts were easy to converse with and quick to respond with inquiries. The house we stayed in is located on same property as the hosts but not at all intrusive. The space is well appointed, spacious and very clean. The bed was comfy which is a must for us. We hope to return when the weather is warmer! Thank you for making our stay delightful.

Above and beyond

Everything about our stay was perfect. Dan and Linda went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was clean and had so many special touches for a comfortable stay. The beautiful yard with the private dock was the icing on the cake. Our family enjoyed swimming, fishing, swinging under the beautiful oak tree. I cannot recommend this property more!

Bucket List Lake

I have been battling ALS ( Lou Gehrig’s disease) for 7 years. I’m trying to fish every major lake here on the East Coast. Love the experience and enjoyed the lake house. Dan was AWESOME and I’d recommend anyone to stay at their home. It’s love and ran by some amazing folks. Thank You

Our family enjoyed our stay in this lake house.The owners were very quick to respond to any questions and welcomed us when we arrived.The house was very clean and the property had a great view of the lake.We had a great time playing on the lake and using their dock.Fortunately their yard was also dry enough for us to launch our boat from their private ramp which is always a huge bonus for me.We would recommend their home to anyone looking for a nice place to stay at Lake Murray.
