Enjoy your stay in Columbia in this cozy guest house overlooking Cary Lake! It is centrally located in Arcadia Lakes, 10 minutes from downtown, USC, and Fort Jackson. You’ll be close to everything in the capital, but far enough to enjoy a relaxing trip. Awake refreshed and ready for a day exploring the city via this clean, sunshine filled home with an impressive view. Cook in your own kitchen, clean up in the remodeled bathroom, and sink into the soft bed after seeing the city.

We had an amazing stay on the lake. The house is cute, relaxing, and quiet. Check-in and out were simple.Suggestions for improvement: better marked house number on the street as the directions provided in the check-in email were not helpful at night; fix the front porch light; lighting on guest driveway.

It was the perfect little get away. We were in town for my daughter’s army graduation. After the stress and chaos of the day, we were able to relax and watch geese on the lake and fireflies in the back yard. The best park was the shower. I’ll miss that shower!

Really enjoyed the home. I thought i was going to be able to fish the pond. But the deck was missing boards and not safe to walk on. The lake was the main reason i rented this location. Was very disappointed.

Wonderful stay

The stay was nice. Two nice bedrooms with comfortable Californian king beds. The Shower was huge, love the rainfall style shower. Very clean, my stay was at the beginning of spring so the pollen was very high and covered my car. A little landscaping around the house would make the place perfect, but I would definitely recommend and return.

Perfect place to stay for Fort Jackson Family Day/Graduation

My kids and I stayed here for about 5 days for my daughter’s family day and graduation from BCT. The location is great - so close to Gate 2. Easy to drive around and find all amenities we needed. The house was great for us - beds super comfy, great shower and lovely view of the lake. Thank you for having us!

Fort Jackson graduation stay

We wanted a restful place close to Fort Jackson for my son's graduation and this was perfect. It was at most 15 minutes away and a perfect place to come back to with our other adult son to relax after busy days. Our hosts gave us our space but were easily accessible.

Visit to a grandson.

This is a very comfortable house with a great view. A rustic cottage in the middle of the city. It was very close to my son's house. Amenities were available but a few miles away. I'd stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Danielle Joseph

Host profile image
We are a pair of young educators with three children and two dogs. We love to travel and see new places and host events for our friends/family in our home. We are excited to explore the short term rental world and look forward to having you stay with us!

Why they chose this property

Enjoy staying in our private guest house. Myself, my husband, our three children, and our 2 dogs live on the property, but are committed to providing our guests their privacy. Our dog remains in the main house and only comes out while leashed. He does not go in or near the guesthouse. Relax and find comfort in the park like setting that is our backyard.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening on our covered deck. Take in the beautiful water view during your stay. Also, enjoy games with the family and a comfy bed at night that you can adjust to your liking!

There is a lake located at the back of the property, but no one is permitted access at this time. There is a dock and it is the process of being repaired and not useable at this time.
