We had a wonderful time. There was comfortable seating for everyone, lots of rooms to break out and have conversations, and the pool was a great way to cool off.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the seating, space to connect, and of course, the pool. It’s great to know the home provided the comfort and relaxation you were looking for. We’d love to host you again!
We absolutely loved the house, it was beautiful and as described online. The kids enjoyed themselves as well. It was a great and peaceful getaway. If we are ever in the area we will definitely book again.
This home was very clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. We felt very much at home. It’s private, with a beautiful backyard. The screened in porch is lovely and perfect near the awesome pool which we all enjoyed. There were plenty of linens and towels and a good supply of starter items. Communication and check-in was efficient and local information was provided quickly, like for restaurants, etc. We would definitely request to stay again if ever coming back to the area. Thank you for a great stay!

Heaven at the lake.
We visited Chapin for an engagement party. The house was a perfect rendezvous for us, our adult children and their spouses. The pool was very nice and BIG which made it great for a cool dip. The home was vey nicely appointed and had every amenity that we required. We definitely recommend thus home if you do not have the need to be lakefront.
Our families loved staying at this place. We had wonderful times around the fire pit, playing games at the huge dining table, swimming, etc. There were some issues with the property while we were there, but the owner was very attentive and the issues were resolved quickly once he got involved. We cannot say the same for the property manager, point-of-contact person, though the owner is addressing that as well. All in all, great stay and perfect place for us.

The home has a HUGE pool which made it very nice for a cool dip.The owner communication was nice, he reached out on the first day to make sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this home for anyone staying in Chapin without the need to be on the Lake front.

From the owner:"Thank you for the review, Ronny! We are happy to see you and your family enjoyed your stay with us. Congratulations to the couple engaged, too!"
Property was very clean and overall outstanding! Pool was amazing. Very quite and peaceful location. It really felt like a home away from home. Beds were very comfortable. Would most likely be a 5 star rating except for some minor issues.. being the property lacked some minor household items like cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, dish towels, dish soap, tissues, paper towels, plastic storage containers for leftovers, and metal cooking utensils for grill.. ( all witch renter went out and purchased for a week long stay). Normally wouldn't say anything about the items above but the house is renting at a premium price and would expect these items at the house. I spent well over 50 on these items.

Cleanliness matters
The vacation home was beautiful, but they cleaning crew could have done better. There was a stale odor upon entering. Which wasn't a biggie due to candles, but there were stains on the island, in refrigerator, tables, and two of the bed spreads. Ants were in the kitchen sink, on the back wall, and stove. The game room area was covered with hair and tables were all sticky with stains. We swiftly found a nearby dollar general for additional cleaning supplies, bc our family was en route and who has time to book another place right; along with ant spray. Outside of these issues, it was quiet and a nice setup. We did reach out to the owners with photos, they apologized, but that was it. They weren't rude and appreciated feedback, but I wouldn't stay again.
