Chapin, South Carolina
Lake house is a family home nestled on a wooded 1 acre lot on the tip of the point with its own 300 ft. footbridge to a private island, 270-degree views of the lake, guaranteed fabulous sunsets, great swimming and boat ramp with deep water. The home is 35 minutes from downtown Columbia, 30 minutes to the USC Carolina football stadium and 45 minutes to Fort Jackson.
One of the best locations on the tip of a point at Lake Murray with easy access to marinas, restaurants, grocery stores, hardware stores and other shopping just 10 minutes away in the villages of Chapin.
This property has amazing views and scenery from the 300 square foot deck that surrounds the house on 3 sides which is a great place to catch the breezes in the afternoon. The home is located on the Chapin side of the lake at the mouth of Bear Creek. It is ideal for fishing, sailing and many other water sports. You would be in sight of Doolittle Island, (Bombing Range Island) where the famous purple martins’ birds fly each morning and evening from June to September each year. The dock is ideal for boaters and swimmers.
This is a comfortable home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on the main level and a basement/storeroom on a lower level. It has a fully equipped kitchen huge indoor stone fireplace made from white rocks gathered from the lake. The fireplace comes with firewood.
There is an extra freezer in the storeroom stocked with ice for your stay.
Minimum stay is four nights.
Stayed her with my husband and 3 adult kids. Such a lovely property. About 40 minutes outside of Colombia but worth the drive. Sits at the end of a peninsula. Feels like your own private oasis. They have a porch around 2/3 of the house and has an amazing view of the sunrise as well as sunset ! My kids went out one afternoon in the kayaks and we enjoyed walking around the beautiful private island you can access by a long pier. We were able to take walks in the quiet neighborhood too!
I really enjoyed the property. it was better than the pictures that are on line. It is also private and peace full. A great place to spend a vacation
This was a very relaxing vacation, this property has stunning views GREAT PLACE. Very peaceful .. would recommend to anyone looking for seclusion. Will definitely stay again,..Thank you to the owners
Amazing weekend full of peace and time together. Perfect getaway for our family of 5 (16, 14, 10) where we explored the island, kayaked, took a trip into Columbia for the game (GO GATORS!) Plenty of space for us to spread out and so much to do outside. We hope to get back soon!
We enjoyed out time with our grandchildren! Papa taught them to kayack and fish! We loved your home and the perfect place on the pointe!! We live in Hilton Head and love the beach but now we love your beautiful lake too!! We will be back!! Thank you for Margaret for being a great hostess and always replying to our texts so quickly!!
Such an AWESOME stay!!! Will be booking again in the near future!!!
This is the quintessential lakefront stay. If you’re an avid bird watcher, it’s highly recommended as we saw bald eagles, hawks, egrets, herons, and migrations of Purple martins each evening (August only, I think?) You can tell this is a family home that has been cherished and holds years of, what I imagine, cherished memories. Thank you Margaret for your family’s hospitality, your responsiveness, and the perfect ambience for a family lake stay.
This is a great place in an awesome location! We enjoyed the dock, bridge, and island. Lots of fishing! Our younger teens love the kayaks. House was well stocked with staples as well as lots of games for evenings. We would recommend for sure…hope to come back soon!
This was our 3rd stay at the cabin and we love it! Will continue to return as long as they let us!
This place as perfect for us! It’s an awesome find on the lake. I brought my ski boat and was able to get it down the boat ramp, although it was pretty tight. The purple martins were in full force on Bomb Island where they roost for the summer. The house was clean and nicely decorated. Margaret is a great host.
Peaceful place with Great Lake view and access. A nature lovers heaven. We watched a doe and her two fawns wander by. Had to download app to help identify all the different birds we heard. The fishing, boating, and swimming is excellent right off the dock. And the house has all the comforts of home.
This was our family's second visit to this property, and we had another great stay. This classic lakehouse is full of character and charm. You can tell its been used and loved by a family for generations. Its in an excellent location with outstanding views, a nice dock and its own island! I would highly recommend this home to aynone looking for a Lake Murray getaway.
The cabin had a beautiful view of lake Murray! Cozy and comfortable! My kids loves the boardwalk and island! We rented a pontoon boat and it was perfect! We would love to return!
We look staying here!! The view is best on the lake, and it’s centrally located so you can go to either end of the lake
We had a wonderful time Wed-Sun graduation weekend. This house has anything you might need! The views are spectacular and we made use of the kayaks and paddle board. We would love to come back!
We really enjoyed our stay. The property is amazing and the island is cool!!! We tried our boat up to the dock and had a great weekend with family!
Our family of 4 just had our 2nd stay, and once again, we loved every minute. Serenity at its finest. Margaret is wonderful to work with and we can’t wait to return!
This is a perfect getaway spot if you're looking for a cabin with good outdoor areas. We really enjoyed ourselves!
Tucked on wooded lot with awesome view of the lake. Enjoyed extra long table for puzzles, crafts plus enough space for meals for 4+...of course with incredible lake view! Two separate living rooms - 1 for TV & 1 for reading. Lots of comfortable seating for big crowd - same goes for lakeside deck. Great place for lazy days. A true lake house rather than luxury resort:) Host was most accommodating and easy to contact.
This was our second stay at what we call the island house. It was even more beautiful than I remembered from our first visit. We had a busy weekend with college move-in, so didn't get to participate in any water sports this time. Being close to the water and watching the evening sunsets was fantastic therapy for an emotional weekend.
Simply the best! Thanks for having us back!
Excellent vacation property with a beautiful view from every viewpoint on lot!
Beautiful view!
This property is very nice and has excellent view of the lake. House was very clean. Only suggestion that I have is that property owner have small group of trees in front of boat landing removed for better access to ramp. Overall this place is great.
The house is perfectly situated on a point in Lake Murray. The bridge to the private island was the perfect place to fish or enjoy drinks while watching a sunset. The living areas in the house were spacious and comfortably accommodated our party of 6. A full array of windows and a large spacious deck offered 270 degree views of the lake. Would absolutely recommend!!
Amazing views and a wonderful family retreat! Private island is a wildlife wonderland for adults and kid’s alike. This home is a treasure. Perfect for boating/ kayaking/ paddle boarding or just relaxing. Equipped with everything you need. We will keep these memories for a life time!
