THE CABIN AT HIDDEN COVE

Introducing the newly renovated Cabin at Hidden Cove, located on beautiful Lake Murray in Chapin, South Carolina. The cabin, originally constructed in the 1880s, was completely renovated from top to bottom in 2019 and is now outfitted with a state-of-the-art Control4 smart house system to complement its comfortable, rustic ambiance. This cabin has been aptly described as “Little House on the Prairie meets Star Trek!” A mounted touch screen is simple to use, and controls all lighting and electronics, including in-ceiling surround sound speakers in the den, kitchen and on the lakeside deck. Choose your entertainment, from cable television, streaming video and music services, or play your own music throughout the cabin from your phone or tablet. The cabin features two bedrooms, a large bathroom, unlimited hot water from a tankless water heater, washer/dryer, a gas fireplace, beautifully restored heart-of-pine floors and a huge deck overlooking the water. In the brand new kitchen, you will find everything you need to prepare culinary delights, including a refrigerator/freezer, oven, stove, microwave, dishwasher, and dimmable enhanced lighting above and below the cabinets to create a cozy, classy ambiance. After dinner, sit on the covered deck listening to your favorite tunes, and enjoy a spectacular view of Lake Murray.
A dock and boat ramp are provided, as well, so feel free to bring your own boat, or ask us about the local boat rentals that are available. We have two kayaks and a paddle board available for your use - they are located beside the boat ramp by the dock.
The Cabin at Hidden Cove is a completely unique experience on Lake Murray – a rustic feel with all of the modern conveniences of the 21st century.

Serene Spot

The Cabin was perfect for a long weekend. 4 adults and 1 teenager, the cabin was just the right size. We utilized the dock for our boat and there is plenty of parking for your trailer. The furnishings in the cabin are perfect; clean, modern and the sound system is clutch! We highly recommend!

This house was perfect for us to spend a little time on the lake. Very cute and clean. The veiw was beautiful. The only thing I would change is the size of the bed, it's a little small for a couple. We would definitely stay here again.

Another Great Stay!

We have stayed at Tom and Laura’s cabin several times. Always enjoy sitting on the porch listening and watching the birds, 15 different birds in less than 10 minutes, one morning. The cabin is a special place so local family even enjoy coming over to hang out. Highly recommend!

Thanksgiving getaway

We traveled from out of state to visit family in South Carolina. This cabin gave us the extra space that we needed along with charm and outdoor activities as a bonus! We enjoyed kayaking in the lake and going for walks as a family in the evenings. The home was very comfortable and clean and felt like home. We look forward to staying here again in the future!

Hidden treasure a hidden cove

Immaculate cabin both outside and In. Entered the cabin to lights and music (both indoors and outdoors) just begin to set the setting of ambience this cabin has to offer. Furnishings are top quality and cabin was well stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. Enjoy amazing views from the front porch on the rocking chairs while listening to music or hang out on the dock and enjoy the water. Owners are on property as well and this cabin is treated like a primary residence. We can wait to come back to this hidden treasure.
