Beautiful Lake House

This was one of the nicest vacation rentals our family has rented. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. The house was equipped with anything you could possibly need. Our entire family, aged 3-69, had a wonderful week. Thank you!

Clean and wonderful lake house with all the amenities we needed

Communication with the owner, Tom, was the best I've had in any experience we've had in renting homes like this. Tom responded immediately to my messages pre-stay, and then stayed in close contact throughout our stay to make sure everything was great. The house was wonderful to say the least. It was by far the most clean home we've rented. The kitchen was beyond stocked, the linens and other items supplied were spotless. In short, it was obvious that we were renting a house that this family actually uses, it's not just a rental property for them. If this wasn't a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us (it was a fairly expensive trip), I would rent again in a heartbeat.

A new tradition!

We had the most amazing week staying here! There is nothing we would change - and will definitely be back! By far the best rental we have ever stayed in: Clean, well-stocked and very spacious. It had everything we could need. Everyone had plenty of space to themselves and also plenty of room to gather comfortably. Sunsets and stars were amazing! Thank you Tom & Angie!!

Graduation Weekend Stay

This home is absolutely amazing! It's beautiful inside and outside. We had 8 people stay here for my daughter's college graduation weekend...4 nights (2 sets of grandparents, my 2 college aged kids and my husband and myself). Both sets of grandparents were able to have rooms downstairs. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. The house and porch were so spacious that people could all be together, but not feel like we were on top of each other, or we could spread out and have some quiet time. The hosts were very responsive when I had questions....and were very patient with me. We could not have asked for better hosts. The house is equipped with everything you could need....from kitchen supplies to water toys, etc. Everyone enjoyed their time at the house and it made my daughter's graduation even more special. It is about a 45 minute drive into Columbia, but it is an easy drive and went by very quickly. I highly recommend this house for a relaxing stay on a beautiful lake.

Beautiful home with stunning view

This home on Lake Murray SC is perfect for multiple couples to gather. Each bedroom having its own bathroom provides privacy while the spacious common areas give generous opportunity to relax and interact. Then of course there’s the gorgeous lakefront with stunning sunset views. Tom was very helpful before and during our stay. I recommend using this property for a family vacation, guest lodging for a wedding or graduation, or pulling a group of friends together.

One Of The Best Places To Stay in Chapin!

We have stayed at this property twice already, and what keeps us coming back is the hospitality, the ease of reservation, the beautiful location, and most of all, the hosts.

You will not regret it!

Beautiful!

Everything about this property is beautiful! Once you walk into the house, you feel at home and the view of the lake just makes it even better than anticipated. We went the week before Christmas and the owners (Tom∠ie) had Christmas trees and the house decorated and of course, it was beautiful! The beds, furniture and outside porch were a hit with everyone. The kitchen was so well stocked with everything we needed - we love to cook as a family and there was plenty of room for the cooks and the ones that love to hang out in the kitchen. The owner (Tom) responded immediately to all our questions and even shared their decorating information! I love the house so much that I am stealing their decorating/paint colors and furniture ideas! Everyone had space to hang out and the bunk room is a bonus for teens. We did not have time to experience the lake and fire pit and we will definitely be going back! Words can not adequately describe Tom and Angie's home, you must experience it and you will not be disappointed!

Perfect Vacation Rental

The house was amazing!!! The view of the lake was gorgeous and so inviting. I got great use of the paddle board, some of us kayaked at night to see the stars and we rented a boat from the neighbor. The kitchen is well equipped and there is separate ice machine in the garage. Mornings were spent on the back porch. Mid afternoon we moved to the front where there was plenty of shade. This is a must to put on your list of vacation rentals. And the very best part, are the owners, who could not have been more gracious. Tom and Angie were a joy. I highly recommend this beautiful home.

Perfect vacation house!

I can't say enough about this property. We visit a different lake every year and this rental far exceeded all the others. This house was perfect for our family of 10 (adult children). It was beautifully furnished and decorated, and so clean! Everyone had their own bath and they loved that! The porch is wonderful. We spent so much time there, both on the swing and the comfortable chairs/couch...plenty of room for everyone! The kitchen is so well equipped for anything you're cooking. We spent a lot of time swimming, boating and enjoying the house and yard. It was by far the best vacation we've had, and we definitely plan to go back. Tom was very receptive every time I reached out. If I could give this house more than 5 stars, I would!

Family Reunion

This house exceeded our expectations! The bedrooms were much larger than we thought and the property is on a great part of the Lake Murray! The water is a bit calmer near the house and the view is incredible. We rented a boat for 4 of the 7 days, which was perfect! We got plenty of time to explore, hang out on Sandy Beach, Wake board and loved seeing all the Purple Martin Birds gravitate to Bomb Island on evening boat cruise. It is a sight to see. The kitchen is fully equipped and the open floor plan on on the main floor makes you feel apart of whatever is going on when cooking. The back porch is inviting (porch swing) a lot of seating and very comfortable. The town of Chapin is close so a grocery store is nearby...but honestly we brought all food with us and had great meals around the large kitchen table. We are an active family and like to walk/run in the am. There are many neighborhoods near by to run/walk and explore however the main road is fine to walk short a mile or two. The wild life is beautiful... birds/ deer/ turtles/ fish. The beds were extremely comfortable and communication of the owners was prompt. We will be going back for sure. Not one complaint!

Summer Family Vacation

We had a lovely week at Lake Murray! Tom and Angie's home was well suited for our large family! Everyone had their own space! We loved cooking all our meals in the beautiful kitchen! We had an interesting unexpected storm come through early in our stay and had great communication with the owners about items that may need to be replaced due to storm damage. We loved spending time in the lake and appreciated all the things that were available for us to use while enjoying the lake! Another wonderful family vacation in the books!!!

A Dream Stay

We have rented three homes on Lake Murray and never been disappointed; however, Tom & Angie's place is easily our favorite. We all agreed that it's even BETTER than the online listing! The kitchen is, without a doubt, the best stocked EVER - if you want to cook in this kitchen (and we did a lot), you will find EVERYTHING you could possibly need - and you won't need to look long. Host was very responsive. This was truly a great experience, and we hope to visit Tom and Angie's place again.

Family Lake Vacation

The property is absolutely beautiful and true to it's listing. You walk in the front door and immediately have a full view of the backyard and lake - stunning! We have stayed on Lake Murray many times and this house by far is the BEST! We had our adult children and our grandsons with us and it could not have been a better week. It was well supplied - more than expected, very beautifully decorated, clean, ample space for all of us. It was a wonderful family vacation week!

USC Graduation Weekend

We came to celebrate our daughter's graduation from USC. The home is absolutely beautiful and we could not have asked for a better place to celebrate !!! From our first contact with Tom & Angie to make sure the home could accommodate the graduate's grandmother in a wheelchair, to check out they could not have been more helpful. Our daughter's friend who is staying one more year to get her masters is booking this house for graduation weekend next year because they liked it so much.
