Great Property and Hosts
Our stay was wonderful. Host were great. A hurricane came in from Florida causing storms our last day there. Property had a generator in case we lost power due to storm. Host kept in contact with us due to weather to make sure we were ok. Owners were very nice and we had a great stay. We also enjoyed the company of their cat Biscuit, who became a regular while we were there.

We really enjoyed our stay! We were in South Carolina to atrend our sons graduation from basic training at FT. Jackson. The place was clean, quiet, and had everything you needed to cook a meal. We loved that we could wash our clothes before we left! Overall a great place to stay!

Perfect Getaway
The cottage is well located to many attractions in the area most notably, Congaree NP which is a must see. We walked along the boardwalk trail and saw deer woodpeckers and even an owl, it was truly amazing. The property itself is as described with many small touches that make the whole stay that much better. The location allows you to relax during down time watching the birds from either the front or back porches and the fire pit makes for fun family nights by the fire. The hosts are very responsive. I had some questions both before and during our stay and the hosts were prompt and helpful each time. This is easily a place that we would book again.

Super cute property. Perfect for relaxing. Had everything we needed in the kitchen and throughout the home. Lots of birdfeeders set up and a lot of cool birds to watch. Also randomly a peacock kept us company. Highly recommend!

Delightful cottage in a natural setting
This delightful cottage had everything needed for a restful stay. The kitchen was well stocked, the bath towels were ample and SOFT, and the furniture was comfortable. It was also convenient to Congaree National Park and Columbia. We were delighted to see a wide variety of birds (two of which are rare from where we come from). Every evening we sat on the porch and enjoyed the quiet of the property and the antics of the squirrels and birds at the birdfeeders and bird bath. We hope to come again real soon!

Wonderful Cottage
My husband and I met another couple at this cottage for a long weekend. The cottage was perfect for us. So many extra little touches made it feel like welcome guests instead of renters. Kitchen was well equipment to cook dinner. Host had lots of great suggestions for places to eat and recommended things to do. Cottage was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be coming back.

Peacefully Perfect
This little slice of Heaven is a bit off the beaten path, but it’s exactly what we needed! We wish we could have spent more time just taking it all in. This clean, beautifully decorated cottage is set on a property that reminds us we all need to just sit back and sit a spell. The welcoming porch has us doing that from night one. We’d can’t imagine how amazing this is once autumn makes its appearance. Debbie went above and beyond, including a sweet moment with my grandkids. They loved the animals that were just a short walk away. Thank you again for the lovely stay.

Lots of work went into remodeling and decorating this cottage. It was so unique, peaceful and relaxing. Close to Congaree National Park. A much better option than a hotel in Columbia.

Clean and serene
This is a great, relaxing property. It has lots of space inside. It is very clean! The beds are comfy, the showers are hot and the kitchen is stocked. It has 2 nice decks. The living room is tricky to figure out but I think most of those smart TVs are. It is a great place to stay for visiting Congaree National Park which was the purpose of our trip. It is 30 minutes from Columbia which we went to groceries first and for the zoo. The outside is a nice quiet oasis with good bird watching. There is room to play and a playground set if you have kids. This was by far the most homey welcome VRBO I have ever stayed.

More than Advertised
My wife and 3 kids (ages 13, 15, 17) stayed here for 2 nights on our visit to Congaree NP and Columbia, SC. This house really is more than advertised. The pictures do not do this house justice. It is located as close as can be to the National Park. I don't even know where to start from the small to large things, the covered car port to keep dry while unpacking, fresh baked cookies, the covered front porch, back porch, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, laundry room. One of the owner's, Rusty, came over to say hi and make sure we didn't need anything. He also invited us over to see the chickens and baby goats. This place is awesome and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed by staying here. Thanks so much for letting us stay at your place for 2 nights. If we are ever in the area this is where we will be staying again, for sure.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was really comfortable, charming, well stocked, and had great access to Congaree. The beds were really comfortable and the play structure was a great treat for my 9 year old. Debbie was also very responsive to my questions. Great experience.

Peaceful retreat
I rented this property for my daughter’s graduation from medical school at USC. Liked the look of the property online as looked quiet and a good place to have family over after graduation to hang out and eat. This place is a gem! Cozy, quaint, peaceful. Loved sitting out front on covered porch in the rocking chairs and out back on the deck enjoying nature. We made a bonfire in the fire pit two days in a row. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The inside is decorated perfectly for this cottage. You will not be sorry you rented this place. Will definitely come back if I’m back in South Carolina!!

Wonderful Experience!
This property was clean, private, and stocked with everything we needed to have a nice stay. We used this as a home base from which to explore Congaree National Park and to drive into Columbia to see The Nutcracker. The place was so cozy and it was a real pleasure to visit. If you are looking for a private and relaxing getaway location then this would be it! Many thanks to the hosts for such a lovely experience!

Perfect get away that's close to everything
Debbie was a fantastic host. When we first arrived the house was very welcoming and anything you could need was available. We were there for my nieces wedding at Wavering Place which was just around the corner. We've stay at a few VRBO's around the country, this was the best by far. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
