Basecamp Getaways turned overlooked lake homes into some of the highest-earning rentals on Lake Hartwell — 3× revenue lifts, 4.9★ ratings, and homes booked solid. We're expanding that same full-service playbook to Lake Murray, and we're confident it will work here too.
We don't manage everything, everywhere. We go deep on fishing lakes, learn the water, and market homes to the travelers who actually book them. Here's the edge we're bringing to Lake Murray.
Relationships across the fishing-travel world — tournament anglers, guides, and media — targeting Murray's striper and bass economy.
A database of past lake guests and specific guest avatars, so a new Murray listing launches with an audience already in place.
lakemurraystays.com will drive direct bookings — just like lakehartwellstays.com does today — lowering fees and building repeat guests.
Seasonal water-level management, dock know-how, and a local care team that protects your home and your guests' experience.
From the first photo to the monthly statement, we run the entire operation so ownership feels effortless.
Styling, pro photography, and listing copy that sells the lake lifestyle.
AI-driven, data-backed rates that capture peak weekends and events.
Screening, fast responses, and five-star hospitality around the clock.
Reliable, inspected turnovers with a trusted local team.
Proactive upkeep and dock/water-level care that protects your asset.
Smart-lock access for secure, seamless check-ins every time.
Airbnb, VRBO, direct booking, and our own branded website.
Clean monthly statements — no hidden cleaning markups.
Where your revenue actually goes — and who actually knows the lake.

These are real homes we took over on Lake Hartwell. The situations — self-managing, under-earning, or never rented — are exactly what we expect to find on Lake Murray. Here's what changed.
Everything we do is built around one goal: more revenue for you, less work for you, and a home that's cared for like our own.
Boots on the ground at the lake — not a call center three states away.
Hospitality that earns and defends five-star ratings and repeat guests.
Dynamic pricing, SEO, and a branded website working together to fill dates.
Our own site reduces platform fees and builds a guest list that's ours.
Simple, honest structure with clear monthly statements — no surprises.
Owners refer us because the numbers and the communication speak for themselves.
A straightforward percentage of revenue, no hidden cleaning markups, and no long-term lock-in. Your incentives and ours point the same direction — more revenue.
We're launching on Lake Murray now and actively onboarding our first homes. You'd be getting in early — with a team that already has a proven track record and an existing guest network from Lake Hartwell.
A simple percentage of revenue, no hidden cleaning markups, and no long-term contracts. We earn your business every month. Request a custom quote and we'll walk you through the numbers for your specific home.
The full lake and its four-county shoreline — from Lexington and Chapin to Irmo, Prosperity, and the Dreher Island area — plus the surrounding Columbia metro.
We're a lake specialist, not a national big-box manager. We market to fishing and lake travelers, run our own branded booking website, bring an existing guest database, and keep a local care team on the water.
Not required — but we'll tell you which high-ROI touches (hot tubs, dock upgrades, game rooms, styling) tend to pay for themselves quickly, exactly as they did in our Lake Hartwell case studies.
Seasonal water-level management and dock know-how are part of our specialty. We manage guest expectations and safety around changing conditions so reviews stay strong.
It depends on location, size, bedrooms, and amenities. The fastest way to find out is a free revenue analysis — fill out the form below and we'll send a custom projection.
Once we've walked through your property and finalized photos and pricing, we move quickly to get you listed across all channels and our website.
