If you are looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay while exploring Congaree National Park, this lakeside home is an excellent choice. Less than 30 minutes drive from both the Visitor Center and Cedar Creek Landing, the location is convenient to grocery stores and a variety of restaurants as well as to Columbia. The house is well appointed with thoughtful details, like luggage racks, bedside electrical outlets, high-end bathroom products and nice kitchen tools. There is plenty of space to spread out between two large closets and lots of free countertops in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry area. Living houseplants, hardwood floors with soft rugs and lovely, fun decorations all contribute to a homey feel. The two decks were wonderful places to relax and enjoy what nature brought into view. Communication with the host was excellent with clear instructions and quick response times. We had a wonderful stay!
