Nice getaway
We were there fishing lake Murray and it worked great for that. I however wouldn’t plan my family vacation here. Parking my 20 foot bass boat was a little tight but doable. The studio itself had lots of amenities and comfy beds. The walk to the lake is only about 50 yards but the path has seen its better days. Dock and gazebo are both very nice.

Bedroom in Chapin during sailing event at Lake Murray Sailing Club
This place was quite convenient to the sailing club, less than a 10 minute drive. We basically used the space as a bedroom, breakfast room and lunch prep room. The beds we comfy. Leave the window heat pump on cool at 72 degrees while you are away during the day. Switch to heat at 70 degrees during the night. Our stay was late March so this strategy worked. When the heat pump defrosts, the water ends up on the stairway, If freezing conditions, that could be a problem with ice on the stairs. Our stay worked out well.

Beautiful spot for bird watching!
Beautiful, quiet spot for a weekend with my grandsons. The gazebo by the lake was a perfect spot for bird watching and reading! The kitchen had many unexpected conveniences-all made for a relaxing weekend. Thank you!

Just OK!
Their dock was in disrepair! Living quarters were clean, but they sure could use handles and nobs on all of their cabinets and drawers!

Comfortable and super friendly hosts
The “cottage” is cute and comfortable, well outfitted with ceiling fans, a large HD tv, and super comfy beds. The hosts were hospitable, and quickly and thoroughly responded to the couple minor issues we had. We would stay there again and would like to take in more of the lake next time.

Great location, great accommodations, wonderful view!
We were here for a week to celebrate our anniversary. What a great choice! Their dock easily accommodated our bowrider, and is conveniently located near two major marinas. And, the dock captured the early evening shade, making it nice to relax at the table/chairs provided. A very nice screened gazebo is great for evenings to avoid any bugs and enjoy the lake view. The apartment was super clean and had anything/everything that could be needed. It does not provide a view of the lake as it is in the front of the property. However, we were not there to hang out in the apartment. The grill is by the gazebo with the view. Privacy is NOT an issue since all activites are after the house. The apartment is VERY private. The internet connection is super, and TV viewing great for the late evening. I “totally” recommend this location for stay on Lake Murray. It was a great “hub” to marinas, to the other end of the lake, to the dam, and to Sandy Beach. We will surely stay here again, and we live only 2 1/2 hours away! Thank you for providing such good accommodations...

Too many steps from the dock to living quaters for a couple in 60's
The living quaters were clean, well stocked, and in good repair. The owners were very nice and responded to a problem with ants coming out of the back of the cupboards. The gazebo was a nice feature. The distance from the top of the living quaters to the dock and back up the hill more than once was a little too much for a couple in their 60's. We ended up leaving a day early. I would recommend this property to a younger couple or family.

Not good
The property owner was very nice the studio was clean but we felt very uncomfortable to walk to the lake because it wasn’t private , their backyard was a mess we left early and took the loss of money we went their for the lake and we didn’t get to enjoy it at all I would not recommend this property if your looking for privacy and lake front this in not the place we drove ten hours and so disappointed with our first visit to so Carolina .

Cozy and Warm
All I can say is perfect. This little home was cozy and warm. It was very clean. We wanted for nothing- dishes, plenty of towels, soaps, bottled water, coffee, cream, sugar... you name it, they provided it. Ed and Vera were very kind and welcoming. Just a wonderful visit. If we ever head back to Lake Murray, this will definitely be our first choice in homes.

Serenity
The unit was immaculate and well stocked with linens, towels and paper products. Even had bottled water, coffee and shower products! We didn't get to enjoy the lake much due to our schedule and the weather. Very serene and safe.

The place was really nice and very clean.
My husband and I really enjoyed the place. It really was home away from home. The place was clean and had everything you needed. The owners went out of their way to make sure our stay was super pleasant. We suggest that blinds be put up by the 2 lakeview windows for more privacy if desired by guest. Overall, we both give the place a 5 stars. We will be encouraging our family and friends to come stay at this lovely place. Once discovered, this place will not have a lot of vacancies. So Ed and Vera keep a weekend open for our yearly anniversary...😍

Cute place!
We stayed here off season as we were checking out the Lake Murray area. The place was very clean. We didn’t use the waterfront much as we were running around from morning to after dark, though we did sit in the covered shelter by the lake-which was nice. There seemed to be a lot of “lake fun” amenities-unfortunately for us the temps were in the 30*s! The owners came out when we arrived (late at night) to make sure we got in okay. There were a few hiccups with the accommodations, but I think only because we were one of their first rentals longer than a day. Some, which we mentioned the following day, were resolved by that evening. Some things needed were a toaster, iron, etc. and they ran out and bought them that very day - so super responsive. Ed and Vera are a very nice couple who went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied. Check them out!
