Chillin' on the Edisto River
Welcome to our home away from home on the beautiful Edisto River. Enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch overlooking the river and listening to the birds. Don’t forget about that early morning fish bite! Early bird gets the worm, right? Spend the afternoon swimming at the boat landing, floating down the river or at the nearby ZOO! Come back at the end of your day to relax in our beloved River home and enjoy all it has to offer.
This home has the cutest floorplan with absolutely no wasted space. You will enter the house from the front porch upstairs. Immediately after entering you will be in the living room which is open to the kitchen. We have a washer & dryer right off of the kitchen. To the left is the Master Suite which has access to the front porch and a private bathroom. Cuddle up on the super comfy chair and read a book while overlooking the beautiful Edisto River. To the right of the living room, you will find the guest bathroom first on the left and then the second bedroom after that. Across from the second bedroom is the third bedroom. We have Smart TVs in the living room and all bedrooms.
Bring your furry family members! They love the River too! $200 non refundable pet fee for up to 2 dogs. No exceptions!
Do you have a special life event like a birthday or an anniversary? We'd love to know after you book!
Need something in the home that you don't see listed? Message me and ask. I may have it or can provide it for you!
Coming in late and need coffee for the next morning? We'll have it waiting for you!
We hope you will enjoy this home and all the charm it has to offer as much as we do!

Pros:1. Large living room and kitchen area with plenty of seating. We were visiting family and there was enough room for 6 adults and 5 kids. 2. Games for the kids and adults on the property. 3. Fire pit with some supplied wood for bon fires. 4. Host was extremely easy to get in touch with and quick to respond and help with any needs. Cons:1. Master bedroom door hangs on the carpet and does not stay closed. So a little difficult for some alone time.2. Master bathroom is a little dated, but functional. 3. No closet in the master. I assume that is where extra supplies are kept for the property. 4. The spare bathroom in the hallway also does not stay closed or locked. 5. All of the bedrooms have lamps instead of ceiling fan/ light combos. Difficult to get used to not being able to flip a switch and have lights. Overall the stay was very enjoyable. Very peaceful and the neighbors were great. Lots of room for entertaining a large family. This is definitely a place we will consider the next time we visit SC.

This home has a great vantage point of the river! Tucked away, well off the busy road, with wonderful amenities included! We enjoyed using the boat ramp to launch our boat and for river floats. Heather was a great host and very accommodating!

Annual Charleston Vacation
Absolutely loved the location. Spent most of my time sitting on the swing watching floaters go by. The house was stocked with just about anything you needed. Having tubes and life jackets there allowed my family to float down the river which is something they have never done or thought about doing. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we will be back next year!

Fantastic Weekend
My college friends and I have been paddling the Edisto River, over a weekend in June, for the past 20-years and this was our favorite house so far. Great location, great deck to hang out on with a great view. The landing was very nice to launch and take out kayaks. Great river house!

Great stay on Edisto
This place was amazing. We had a really great time exploring the area. The fishing wasn’t great but that’s because the river was up…but fish were still caught. Was a bit anxious on the water due to the gators but never saw a single one. The neighbors were super nice as well and talked with them a few times. Overall the place and communication was excellent. The house is super comfy and had many of the necessary start ups like coffee, TP, towels, spices etc…. We did find a little hole in the wall called Hutch’s Kuntry Kookin and the food was excellent! We ate breakfast and two dinners there and would highly recommend. Get there early though for the specials. Would highly recommend this place and would definitely come back.
