The host was amazing- beyond amazing and beyond accommodating. We wanted a place outside of University of South Carolina law school and it was perfect. It was peaceful and exactly as described. The porch is the star of this place. Our dogs were in heaven. Thank you.

Wonderful Lakefront Cottage!

This cottage was perfect for our South Carolina visit to attend a family wedding nearby. Very comfortable with a nice screened porch on the waterside. We brought a kayak so we also enjoyed paddling on the lake. Highly recommend!

Short getaway

We needed a short getaway and this place fit the bill. We loved the fact that it’s pet friendly with an amazing fenced area for the pups. It’s conveniently located to stores, yet in a private setting. Having our own boat ramp and dock was a plus. The property owner was very accommodating. Definitely plan on staying again.

Beautiful stay in Chapin on Lake Murray

This is a precious lake cottage perfect for a small family and pet. The property is cozy, super clean, and pet friendly. It's quiet and relaxing but still very close to cute shops, places to eat, and grocery stores in Chapin. You will not be disappointed planning your lake getaway staying here!

Wonderful weekend

We chose to stay close to home this year so we could take our senior pets on vacation with us. We found the perfect place in The Waterfront Cottage. It has a large fenced in yard overlooking the lake with beautiful views. The house was very cozy and beds were really comfortable. It had everything we needed and then some! Relaxed and quiet it was still only a few minutes into town for food and/or supplies. And Candice was readily available if needed. I would give it 10 stars if I could!
