We went to Chapin for 2 weeks to have the Christmas holiday with our family. The house is lovely and has every accommodation that you could want. The beds are comfortable, too. If we go back next year I will want to stay in this home again.

We had the most incredible stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and even better than the photos. Every little detail was thoughtfully considered — from the cozy linens and fully stocked kitchen to the welcoming touches like fresh cookies waiting for us.The location couldn’t have been more perfect — able to go for walks during the day around the circle and so close to our family on Lake Murray. The house felt tucked away enough to feel completely private and peaceful. We especially loved relaxing on the deck in the evenings, watching the sunset and listening to the sounds of nature.The host was absolutely wonderful — responsive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best stay possible. Communication was clear and easy, and check-in/check-out were seamless.We’ve stayed in quite a few vacation rentals, but this one truly stands out. It felt like a home away from home — only better! We can’t wait to come back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a five-star experience. Comfy beds, great water pressure and just a wonderful cozy stay! We will be back :)

Great home and location

We stayed here as a layover spot on the way to the Outer Banks. The home was definitely well equipped and comfortable for what we needed. The owner was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with. It was a good location to visit the lake or town. I would definitely recommend this home!

Everything we needed

The house includes everything you need, whether it is the grill, the tools for the grill, cookies upon arrival, quiet neighborhood, excellent access to the lake across the street, fans, extension cords, a pantry that included so many things you don't think you'll need... I could go on but it really was convenient and accommodating! Thank you

Always perfect!!

This was our 5th or 6th stay at Sweet Retreat, and as always, it was perfect. I cannot express the thought and care that is in this house. Besides the fact that it is pristinely clean and comfortable, Carla has it absolutely stocked with anything and everything you could want or need! It is so organized 🤩I love spending early mornings on the back porch watching the birds devour the full bird feeders, my kids always dive headfirst into the fresh chocolate chip cookies, the candy on the coffee table is a lovely treat as we are winding down the day. We really feel like this is our home away from home, and we look forward to our time here every year. Thank you Carla- you make it so great!!

Wonderful visit!

This is the second time we stayed at the Sweet Retreat and it was as wonderful as it was the first time a couple of years ago. The fresh flowers and homemade cookies were a nice touch. :) It is great to have a nice place to stay that you know is clean and welcoming when you are visiting family. We will be back again!Thank you so much for the warm hospitality!The Taylor's

Great house, great location, great host

This home was perfect for us. Spotlessly clean, very roomy. The kitchen is very well stocked. We loved the thoughtful extras all over the place - a closet with stuff you might have forgotten to pack. She had fresh baked cookies and chocolates when we arrived. Just super nice. The neighborhood is quiet and save. The beds are very comfortable. Just can't say enough about this place. Will definitely rent again.

Above and beyond

From owner interaction to amenities to overall quality and cleanliness, everything about Sweet Retreat is 5 stars. Our cousins who stayed with us own and manage a condo in FL, and at every turn they commented from an owner’s perspective how impressed they were with the attention to detail at the house. My wife likes to travel with our own bed sheets and blankets “just in case”, but we quickly discovered that they would not be necessary at Sweet Retreat. If we return to this area to visit, this will definitely be our first choice for accommodations.
