About this property

Lake front home, private dock, water toys, kayaks

This custom-renovated, modern lake house has everything. Drive up to the unassuming front, and enter the front with direct water views via a wall of sliding glass doors.
Owners have lovingly thought of every detail, Inside you will find a lakefront, open living/kitchen area with large island & an OLED 65” TV.
Home opens up from back porches, comfortably equipped with seating and dining. Large backyard, fire pit, lake toys, two grills included.

Well-equipped kitchen with new appliances, (3) bedrooms with queen mattresses, plus open space with (2) long-twin beds in downstairs open secondary living space (with another 60” TV) - sleeps 8 comfortably. Two full bathrooms with rainhead showers and heated floors. Large capacity washer and dryer available. Sheets, bath, beach towels, blow dryer, and fully stocked kitchen, are all provided. A starter supply of all cleaning, coffee, etc provided.

There is room in the driveway for 4-5 cars. The neighborhood is a beautiful quiet mile loop. If you go out the driveway to the left and take your very next right and keep taking rights until you get back to the house it is one big loop.

We are always available via phone and text daily between the hours of 9-8pm and take care in responding to each question and inquiry ASAP.

This lake paradise is located in Dutchman Shores and is perfect for a week of relaxing and fun. The neighborhood is quiet and has a great circle loop for taking a peaceful walk. Eptings Landing Marine $5 cash only, provide fuel and commercial boat ramp with concessions available within a 5 min car ride or 2 min by water. There is not a ramp on our property.

This home is located within two miles of local restaurants, incl. brand new Publix grocery store and the center of Chapin. It is only five miles off of I-26, making it easy access to Harbison (15 mins) and Downtown/USC (30 mins). A handful of Marinas, and lake-access Restaurants are easily located by water from this centrally located home, just off of big-water “Bear Creek”.

The detached garage on our property has been renovated (2022) into a space that is part fun/part living. Includes a full bath and Queen size murphy bed. This space sleeps an additional two people. The bar set up does include commercial bar equipment as if you were at a restaurant. Please contact host if you would like to add this space, otherwise it remains empty while on vacation. It is NOT for a party or gathering of additional people, just as a relaxing family room of sorts by the water.

We have one security blink camera on the outside front of the home and one on the outside back facing out to the lake. These are to monitor the property when we are not there. We disarm these upon a guests arrival.

There are no cameras inside the home. We also have a noise monitoring device inside the garage and on dock to monitor loud party type noise that would cause complaints from neighbors.
This noise monitoring device only measures the sound level, and does not record private conversations.
-There are full time neighbors on both sides, we ask that you keep the noise down after 10pm
-No events or large parties allowed
-You must be at least 25 years old to book and if your group is not related, no one can be under the age of 25 years old.
-Short Term rental agreement must be signed before entry code to home will be given out.
- We do allow one dog per reservation with a $200 pet fee and a conversation about type of dog and details on what to expect on our property with pets ie..fence, neighbors, barking etc.
To monitor loud noise and parties we do have one noise decimal reading device on property. This monitors sound levels and does not record conversations.

Lake Life Gem
The Boujee Shack has it all! Our family stayed over Easter weekend and it was the perfect accomodation. Beautiful lake views, fire pit, grills, spacious yard, and stunning sunrises and sunsets from the backyard and dock. We had fun fishing, playing in the yard, grilling out, and relaxing in this beautifully decorated home. Our kids loved relaxing in the hammocks and fun sleep space downstairs. The mattresses were very comfortable and everything was very well organized and clean. We look forward to coming back again. Thank you for helping us make lasting family memories in an amazing space.

This was the perfect place for a very relaxing weekend. The host was always available and answered all our questions. Looking forward to staying again soon. Thanks to the Champ family for a great weekend!!!

About the host

Hosted by Michell

Host profile image
We are the Champ's. We've lived in Charleston for 20 years, and have always had a deep love of lake life. We purchased this home in 2017 as an estate sale. It had not been touched since the early 1970's. We passionately spent two years gutting and renovating it ourselves with the goal to start a travel nomad lifestyle living between several homes in our favorite places. We appreciate the little details and well thought out gestures of a home. Eric is the cook, construction and tech wizard of the home. I am the designer, clean up crew and passionate "bring the extra" one.
Between us, we have tried to think of everything a family of all ages would want and need while relaxing at the lake.
What does Boujee mean: A slang word for "luxurious" in lifestyle yet humble in character. Defined as a need for luxury.
Why we named it "The Boujee Shack": One of our daughters calls Eric and I "Boujee" often because we appreciate nice things in general. As we were renovating this home we would show her photos of different items we were purchasing or adding and she would often say "Oh that is so boujee" The word stuck and seemed to fit our humble shack of little luxurious touches.
We hope you find your stay here full of fun, relaxation and family memories. Everything you need to know is in this binder including recommendations.

Why they chose this property

We have taken a family vacation on Lake Murray for years with the hopes to own a home of our own one day. The owner before us was the original owner who built the house and lived there his entire life. It didn't even hit the market before we heard it was going to an estate sale. We jumped on the opportunity to have a small shack of our own so close to town with great water views.

What makes this property unique

The quiet back porch in the morning with the birds always singing.
The one mile circle loop neighborhood that provides for lovely peaceful walks
How close we are to the grocery store for any forgotten needs
Adding the "Tavern" or renovated garage on to your reservation to have a full bath, ice, sink and mini kitchen set up close to the water.
