Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
My husband Andy and I live on Lake Murray and absolutely love it! Andy was a pilot for Pan Am and then Delta and commuted to New York in order to live on the lake. He now is a golfer and can gladly help you with any area golf questions. I am a former French teacher and love to be in or on the lake. If you don't have a boat, my arm could easily be twisted to take you for a ride.
Why the Owner Chose Chapin
We had been renting it as annual rental since 1991 and decided to do VRBO. It's been fun! We travel and have always loved staying in Bed and Breakfasts. This is the next best thing as we aren't tied down to daily work, but have the joy of providing, what we think is special, to renters. We love telling people about the lake and area, but most people do not want to leave the relaxation of the water and house.
The Unique Benefits of this House
All guests comment on how much they love the gazebo. It's right on the lake. We thoroughly enjoy spending nights there, although we live 15 minutes away (by boat). A different view of the lake is so nice and the sunrises are spectacular.

Thank you very much for this beautiful place. We were able to come and spend the week amongst the beautiful fall leaves, sunrise and peacefulness. We came to see our son graduate from Fort Jackson Basic training and this home was a much needed respite to come together before we drove him to Ft. Lee Va. Thank you for the ease of this preparation and many blessings to you and all future guests.

We were truly blessed by this opportunity for reunion, rest, relaxation. Thomas is deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq, Ft. Jackson currently, so we've been apart the last 2 1/2 years. Your home allowed him to put his fishing boat in and enjoy as many hours on the water as possible. We also loved visiting the local area, spending Sat. in Newberry at the vineyards and winery at the Newberry Opera House and Carter Home Orchid Center. It was so refreshing to sit and watch the water, feel the breeze while pondering what God has made for us. Thank you for the wonderful setting and beautiful accomodations you shared with us. Many prayers for continued health and happiness in your "joy filled" home.

Well, what can we say. What an adventure we had the first day!We had such a good time the more we talked about it. It was a great way to start our vacation. The "fishy" people enjoyed fishing every day. Leah said she enjoyed all of the fish jumping and she saw many turtle heads. The kids and I really enjoyed the kayaks. They were perfect to just tootle around and to relax. The gazebo is great!! The shack (gazebo) and breeze off of the lake are wonderful. We thank you for opening your home to us!! We're so happy our first time doing VRBO was A+++ We're already talking about coming back.

This was our first time renting a home for a vacation & it couldn't have been a better experience. The owners were very nice & communication was great. The house was just right for our family of 6, not too small not too big & 1 floor. Property was as described, the kayaks were great easy to use if never used before. Gazebo was wonderful for reading,eating & lake watching. Found a public beach on the south side of the dam which we enjoyed 2 days. Fishing was enjoyable & nice that they just had to walk out of the house. We would recommend this property. We are thinking about returning for another trip. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Dear Andy and Ellen, Thank you for opening your home to us. We really enjoyed kayaking, walking around the neighborhood, fishing, boating, and tubing. Watching the Purple Martins at Bomb Island and the turtles in the lake was wonderful. These two weeks brought back many wonderful memories of growing up in New England for me! Thanks Again!
