Secluded Country Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay. We wish we could have spent more time on site enjoying the secluded setting with the flowering plants and singing birds. Would definitely come back if ever in the area again. Close to Congaree NP and nice drive to historic Columbia.

Gorgeous cottage!

Incredibly clean, well stocked, beautiful property nestled in the woods. Debbie’s space had plenty of room, a gorgeous yard, fire pit, and had extra charges, soaps, coffee, any pot/pans you could need and even a griddle! I would highly recommend this stay to anyone traveling to the area and looking for a nice, quiet, clean, spacious property for their getaway!

Fun and relaxing getaway

This place exceeded every expectation. We came because the cottage is so close to Congaree NP, but fell in love with the peaceful coziness and serenity. We enjoyed birdwatching from the front porch and smores in the evening. The home was stocked with everything we and our 3 young children needed. Thinking this may be an annual trip!

Relaxing family stay

We took our first family vacation with our son and daughter-in-law and one year old grandchild. The house was clean and had everything we needed- and anyone could need!- to relax and make meals and sleep well! The hosts were friendly if needed anything but gave us our space. Lovely family stay!
