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.

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!

This was the perfect spot for a girls trip - plenty of space, near the national park, and quiet. The house was packed with essentials, which was very appreciated. And clean!

Our stay was wonderful. Host were great. A hurricane came in from Florida causing storms our last day there. Property had a generator in case we lost power due to storm. Host kept in contact with us due to weather to make sure we were ok. Owners were very nice and we had a great stay. We also enjoyed the company of their cat Biscuit, who became a regular while we were there.

We took our first family vacation with our son and daughter-in-law and one year old grandchild. The house was clean and had everything we needed- and anyone could need!- to relax and make meals and sleep well! The hosts were friendly if needed anything but gave us our space. Lovely family stay!

Lots of work went into remodeling and decorating this cottage. It was so unique, peaceful and relaxing. Close to Congaree National Park. A much better option than a hotel in Columbia.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was really comfortable, charming, well stocked, and had great access to Congaree. The beds were really comfortable and the play structure was a great treat for my 9 year old. Debbie was also very responsive to my questions. Great experience.

Loved this little spot! Everything was perfect. House was so cozy and packed nothing. We loved the birds and hummingbirds. The book that was left was very helpful - Mr Bunky’s for breakfast was great. Highly recommend this rental.

Debbie was a fantastic host. When we first arrived the house was very welcoming and anything you could need was available. We were there for my nieces wedding at Wavering Place which was just around the corner. We've stay at a few VRBO's around the country, this was the best by far. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Perfect cottage for visiting Congaree National Park. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and the host had very thoughtful water bottles and cold drinks. The many bird feeders brought in hummingbirds and others

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.

This property was clean, private, and stocked with everything we needed to have a nice stay. We used this as a home base from which to explore Congaree National Park and to drive into Columbia to see The Nutcracker. The place was so cozy and it was a real pleasure to visit. If you are looking for a private and relaxing getaway location then this would be it! Many thanks to the hosts for such a lovely experience!

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.
