Everything was very clean and comfortable. Our dogs enjoyed having a place to run and we had plenty of room inside for their crate. I didn’t take any pictures but did make a video for our children to see. Such a lovely place to stay.

Above and beyond

Everything about our stay was perfect. Dan and Linda went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was clean and had so many special touches for a comfortable stay. The beautiful yard with the private dock was the icing on the cake. Our family enjoyed swimming, fishing, swinging under the beautiful oak tree. I cannot recommend this property more!

Great location

We really enjoyed our stay in Chapin. The hosts were easy to converse with and quick to respond with inquiries. The house we stayed in is located on same property as the hosts but not at all intrusive. The space is well appointed, spacious and very clean. The bed was comfy which is a must for us. We hope to return when the weather is warmer! Thank you for making our stay delightful.

Bucket List Lake

I have been battling ALS ( Lou Gehrig’s disease) for 7 years. I’m trying to fish every major lake here on the East Coast. Love the experience and enjoyed the lake house. Dan was AWESOME and I’d recommend anyone to stay at their home. It’s love and ran by some amazing folks. Thank You

About the host

Hosted by Dan Garbett

Host profile image
We are originally from Parker Colorado moved to South Carolina 22 plus years ago.
We like sitting on dock enjoy the lake or just jump in the water on hot days.
We like having different people come and stay with us and have them enjoy our place and surroundings.

Why they chose this property

We have always wanted to live on the lake so we set it up to have others come and enjoy it also.

What makes this property unique

It’s in a peaceful cove with the big lake just a few minutes away.
We feel it’s just a great place to come and visit and enjoy their stay as most have.
We actually built the place ourselves with a little help from the internet a few friends and family members.
So it has a little bit of our touch in each thing you see or enjoy.
