Perfect family weekend

We had the perfect family weekend at this beautiful lake cottage. Every detail and welcome by the hosts big and small was much appreciated. Fantastic big quiet cove with spectacular big water view. Great time had on the kayaks and paddle boards by the whole family. We would love to come back another time!

Happy 4th

Our family enjoyed a wonderful stay over the July 4th holiday. The cottage is charming and well appointed. Perfect location close to Chapin. It easily accommodated our group of 4 adults, a small child and a dog. Our 20ft was easy to launch from the boat ramp on the property. Take advantage of the owners restaurant recommendations, we tried several and they were all amazing. Will definitely book this cottage again.

Absolute Paradise

We had a family group of four adults. The cottage was beautiful and fresh. It had everything we needed. We loved the scenery and lots of wildlife - ducks, turtles, and fish. The bird song was brilliant. Our hosts were extremely responsive to the occasional question. We walked around the neighborhood and everyone was friendly. Thanks for the amazing stay.

A Must Stay!

The cottage on Lake Murray was one of the cutest and nicest place we’ve stayed in a long time! The house was very clean and well organized. The owners provided everything we needed and more! It was so nice to be able to walk down to the lake and sit on dock and enjoy the scenery. The ramp at the house is also an added bonus if you’re bringing a boat. So convenient! I can’t say enough good things about this place and our stay. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay at Lake Murray!

Beautiful cottage - perfect get away

The cottage is perfectly redone with attention to every detail. The owners meticulously used all of the spaces efficiently leaving nothing out. We lived the mini putting green, the dock, the swing, and patio chairs. The boats and paddle boards were perfect for our teen boys and adults. All of the kitchen utensils are top quality. Sharp knives, quality pots and pans, and excellent appliances too. Everything was immaculately clean. We enjoyed it so much!! We would definitely rent it again.

Great little cottage get away

Check in was easy. Home was as described, except VRBO has it listed as three bedrooms but it only had two. The home was clean, well equipped. The house looks as if it has been recently updated. TV was easy to operate, nice washer and dryer the appliances were new in the kitchen. We enjoyed the location and the neighborhood was quiet. We will definite consider staying here again and would recommend. The dock and boat ramp were nice and easily accessible. We have a large truck and we were able to easily access the ramp. If you’re taking your boat an outside outlet would be helpful when charging the the boat battery.
