Lake Murray Family Retreat is a modest & cozy 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home on an acre lot on Lake Murray, Chapin, SC with BIG views. We put a lot of thought into furnishing this home and had families in mind with each detail. It isn't the most updated or fanciest home on the lake, but it's one of the homiest!

The space
This 1,355 SF house has a large family room with big lake views and a dining room perfect for spending time with your group. The kitchen has peninsula bar seating for four and includes all major and small appliances.

The primary bedroom suite has a queen size bed, TV, walk-in closet, full ensuite bathroom, laundry closet, and exterior access. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the third has a twin bunk + a twin trundle.

The house is done in a self-proclaimed 'coastal lakehouse 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 charcoal grill, reclaimed wood Adirondack style chairs at the outdoor lakeside firepit, 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!

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 (Maps).

The depth at the dock is only a few feet deep, so pontoons or smaller boats are best for dock parking. If you are traveling between October and April the water depth will be 8' less due to seasonal lowering of Lake Murray water levels controlled by Dominion Energy (formerly SCE&G).

Other things to note
You will receive a “boarding pass” upon confirmation with guidebooks, property specific details, check in / parking instructions and more! You can share this link with anyone in your party for access to the details!

The bunk room and master bedroom are connected. Please note the floor plan diagram in the listing for this detail. You may access the master bedroom at any time from the exterior of the house if children or little ones are sleeping in the bunk room.

We are very close to the water and on a wooded lot, expect to see wildlife including bugs, lizards, birds, turtles, raccoons, squirrels, and the occasional deer. Regular pest treatments are done both inside and out but it is very easy for pests to slip into the house if doors or windows are left open.

Neighborhood highlights

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.
