Lake Murray Family Retreat - BIG Water Views

Enjoy this cozy 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom family home on an acre lot on Lake Murray with BIG views in Chapin. This 1,355 square foot house has a large family room with big lake views, dining room with a gas fireplace, and the kitchen has peninsula bar seating for four including all major and small appliances. The first bedroom has a queen size bed, the second has a twin bunk + a twin trundle. The Master Suite has a queen size bed + TV, walk-in closet, private bathroom, laundry and exterior access.

We put a lot of thought into furnishing this home and had families in mind with each detail. It isn't the most updated home on the lake, but it's one of the homiest!

The house is done in a self-proclaimed 'coastal lake house modern style' with loads of cozy furnishings, upholstery, pillows, linens, and a mix of natural textiles - think wicker, rattan, wood and glass. Various warm grays, soft neutrals and hues of blue give this house a homey feel the moment you enter.

There are various options for outdoor seating and entertaining as well, including a gas propane grill, reclaimed wood Adirondack style chairs at the outdoor lakeside firepit, two more Adirondack style chairs at the end of the dock, an outdoor sectional with cushions and pillows on the patio with two oversized lounge chairs, and a reclaimed wood outdoor picnic table made by a local artisan. Don't forget the Pirate Ship themed playground for the children or young at heart!

We do have one kayak on hand and are working on supplying a few more for guests that are traveling without their own personal watercraft.

The large paved driveway has plenty of parking for cars, trucks, campers or boat trailers. A public boat launch is located about 10 minutes away at the Hilton Recreation Area in Chapin, SC (Google Maps).

The depth at the dock is only a few feet deep, so pontoons or smaller boats (we have a 19.5' fish and ski by Sea Pro) are best for dock parking. If you are traveling between October and April the water depths may be lower than expected due to seasonal lowering of Lake Murray water levels controlled by Dominion Energy (formerly SCE&G).

We live near the Lake House and are accessible by the Airbnb app, phone or text during your stay.

This is a residential lake neighborhood with a mix of older and newer style homes. The majority of our neighbors live in their homes year round but with the landscaping, vegetation and 1 acre size of the lot, you will not see many of your neighbors unless out on the dock or on the water. There are a few local restaurants that will deliver and some grocery and convenience store options within a 10 - 15 minute drive as well.

If you want to get your bearings prior to booking, look up Lake Murray Sailing Club in Chapin, SC on Google Maps to search nearby amenities.

You will definitely want a personal vehicle while staying at the this property - we have not tried to Uber or Lyft from this location and there is no public transportation near this area.
