House was clean, everything we needed she had already ready for us, nice and quiet neighbor. We got to spend the weekend with our soldier on base. We was only 3 mins from base or Gate 2. When we get to come back in a few weeks if there is openings we will be booking.

Great communication. Adorable cottage. Amazing location. It feels like a small French cottage in the middle of Columbia, SC. The bed is comfy. The decorations are adorable. But the space is small. Perfect for a couple who doesn’t plan on being in their cottage for much of their stay. If you’re just wanting a home-base to lay your head, it’s perfect. But there is no real yard to speak of. The bathroom might be the smallest bathroom I’ve ever seen. The kitchen, however, has tons of counter space, which made cooking a breeze. Would stay here again, but only for trips where my days are packed with other activities that will keep me outside of the cottage most of the day.

The home is cozy, beautiful and well appointed. The owner is very attentive and responsive. We drove almost 18 hours and were arriving very late so she made sure all the lights and heater was on for us for when we arrived. Wonderful host and person. Have a great stay!

Great cozy home

This is a great cozy house to stay. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We visited the area to go to Fort Jackson and it was only 10 minutes away. Would definitely stay again.

Whimsical cottage. We loved everything about it! The home was perfectly imperfect. Host was great to communicate with and we just loved the decor. So many wonderful details and everywhere we looked made us smile. Absolutely adorable!

Great Place for Us

We booked this so we could see our daughter at U of SC. It was lovely not being in a hotel. It was nice in the area where we stayed. Enjoyed it.
