About this property
Lake Murray/Chapin - Comfy home with boat ramp and dock on a quiet cove
Spacious home on a quiet road and deep water cove on Lake Murray, near Chapin. Bright and open living area, full of light with a view of the water. Dock, boat ramp, spacious front and back lawn for playing cornhole. Room over the garage boasts a pool table, flat screen Roku TV and another full (although kids' size) bath. Deck w/ gas firepit, Big Green Egg and a gas grill with a table for 6 and an umbrella. Ping pong in garage.
Each bedroom has comfy beds with pillows, high quality sheets, USB power strips for charging your devices, and Roku TV.
Well equipped kitchen, including Instant Pot, air fryer, blender, griddle, electric skillet, toaster oven, Keurig and coffee pot. Decent knives! Plenty of dishes, utensils, baking pans, and cooking tools.
There is a nice boat ramp and room to park your boat trailer. Ask for more details if you have a boat larger than 24'. Garage access for storage, but not for parking. Drop-cord to get power to the dock.
For Fun: Two stand-up paddleboards, cornhole, ping-pong, giant connect four, pool table, hammock, puzzles, books and board games. Beach towels provided. Life jackets available upon request.
This is our happy place. The five nearby houses are occupied by full-time residents who are mostly retired. This is a perfect place for a relaxing family vacation, a fishing trip, or a quiet getaway. If you're looking for a place for a party, reunion or large get-together, this isn't the place for you. We expect our guests to respect our home and our neighbors. If at anytime we feel like this is not happening, we'll have to ask you to leave.

About the host
Hosted by Fran Eleazer
I'm a mom to 2 grown kids, wife to Charles, web designer for small businesses, yogi, chef, foodie and wine lover!
I've wanted to live on the lake since I came to Carolina in 1984. When the opportunity arose to buy a lake house, I jumped at the chance. Our first summer there was absolutely magical! I knew I would rent it since my sister rented her house on Lake Murray for 15 years, and I loved reading her guest book messages. Her home brought so much joy to so many families, I wanted to do the same.

Why they chose this property
The sun comes up over the cove, which allows for cool shade on the dock and backyard in the late afternoon. There are just 6 houses in the immediate area, occupied by full-time residents. In addition to deer, rabbits, a couple of heron, ducks, and geese, you'll likely see one or more of the neighbor's dogs zooming across the yard.
The house is between the quaint towns of Chapin and Ballentine. There are a number of local restaurants within about a 15 minute drive. Grab a maple bacon doughnut and a cup of fresh coffee from Chicken Butt Doughnuts, a handmade burger from Higher Ground Char House, or a lakeside dinner at Liberty Tap House at the Marina.

What makes this property unique
There is a boat ramp on the property, a dock for your boat, and room for the boat trailer. Please let us know if you'll be bringing a boat so we can give you more instructions on how to back it down the ramp without driving on the lawn!
There is a large garage that you can use for storing coolers, and lake toys you might bring, etc. but the ping pong table takes up one bay, and cornhole, paddleboard and chaise lounges, are in another bay, so there isn't room to park your car inside.
WHAT'S NEARBY??
Gas (regular and marine) and a large convenience store with a hot buffet and packaged food, drinks wine and beer, is 2 miles away at Palmetto Roads.
Publix Supermarket is 6 miles away.
Dreher Island State Park is about 17 miles from the house by land, or 5 miles by water.
University of South Carolina is about 36 minutes.
The Town of Chapin is about 6 miles.
The Town of Ballentine is about 8 miles.
Columbia Metropolitan Airport, 27 miles
