Every detail of the stay was taken care of, as far as the house amenities. What a beautiful home and so wonderful for our young family of 6 to live comfortably for a few days. When we come back to the area we would love to rebook this place!

A quaint cottage close to Congaree NP. A quiet place nestled in the woods but close toany amenities without all the sound of traffic. Enjoyed the sounds of nature and appreciated the hosts hospitality and the having access to items that one have forgotten such as toothbrushes, deodorant and other miscellaneous items. Thanks for a great vacation.

Great spot for exploring Congaree—10 minutes to Boardwalk Loop, about 13 minutes to Cedar Creek put-in. Private, well-kept spot. (I heard a neighbor’s donkey but never saw another house.) Very responsive host. Thank you!

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.
