My husband & I rented this lovely home for a 4 night stay. We had unexpected delays at the airport so we checked in at 8:30pm. Roe was gracious enough to have the lights turned on so we could easily find the house. The home is beautiful, clean, quaint and well appointed.We had a wonderful stay. Close to downtown Aiken. We will definitely be coming back!

We stayed 9 days in the Owls Nest and my wife and I both had a terrific experience. The host was welcoming and prompt in all our communication and the house was even nicer than we had hoped for. Great location. Wonderfully quiet and private. Excellent in every way. We hope to return!!1

Family friendly with a great location. Ate at Mellow Mushroom for dinner and was only 5 minutes away. Only 20 minutes from our equestrian activities and mountain biking trails to keep our children happy!
