Amazing location! The house is very private. We used it as a base camp to explore Congaree National Park and the Columbia area. The host was wonderful, quick to respond to any questions. Easy check in / check out. Would highly recommend this property.

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.

Cozy cottage in the woods

We really enjoyed our stay! We were in South Carolina to atrend our sons graduation from basic training at FT. Jackson. The place was clean, quiet, and had everything you needed to cook a meal. We loved that we could wash our clothes before we left! Overall a great place to stay!

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!

The perfect landing place for a weekend at Congaree National Park

We had a fantastic stay at this cottage while visiting Congaree National Park. The home looked exactly as described—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up for a comfortable stay. The kitchen and living space made it easy to prepare meals before heading out for the day and provided a great spot to relax afterward. The host was a great communicator and readily available if needed. If we visit the park again, this is exactly where we would choose to stay! Highly recommend.

Relaxing country home

This is our second time staying here. We enjoy the quiet (except for the airbase jets and helicopters that occasionally fly over), the birds, and the sense of being out in the country. The home is very comfortable with ALL of the necessities, plus some, provided. For example, wireless device chargers were provided! The hosts are responsive and pleasant and even keep the bird feeders filled!

Wonderful Cottage

My husband and I met another couple at this cottage for a long weekend. The cottage was perfect for us. So many extra little touches made it feel like welcome guests instead of renters. Kitchen was well equipment to cook dinner. Host had lots of great suggestions for places to eat and recommended things to do. Cottage was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be coming back.

Delightful cottage in a natural setting

This delightful cottage had everything needed for a restful stay. The kitchen was well stocked, the bath towels were ample and SOFT, and the furniture was comfortable. It was also convenient to Congaree National Park and Columbia. We were delighted to see a wide variety of birds (two of which are rare from where we come from). Every evening we sat on the porch and enjoyed the quiet of the property and the antics of the squirrels and birds at the birdfeeders and bird bath. We hope to come again real soon!

Perfect Getaway

The cottage is well located to many attractions in the area most notably, Congaree NP which is a must see. We walked along the boardwalk trail and saw deer woodpeckers and even an owl, it was truly amazing. The property itself is as described with many small touches that make the whole stay that much better. The location allows you to relax during down time watching the birds from either the front or back porches and the fire pit makes for fun family nights by the fire. The hosts are very responsive. I had some questions both before and during our stay and the hosts were prompt and helpful each time. This is easily a place that we would book again.

What a wonderful place to stay at when visiting Congaree National Park. You can tell the host is not just good at what they do, but truly passionate. It can be seen from house decorations and condition down to complimentary food items. Everyone enjoyed the outside bonfire with smores after a long day. There is a washer and dryer on site, but no dishwasher. Latter was the only downside, but not that big of a deal for us. Weather late November treated us to just perfect fall days before leaves fall out. I wouldn't think twice about staying here again. Thanks again for a great visit.
