Six Night Thanksgiving Stay
T here were six of us sleeping at this house for six nights and over the Thanksgiving holiday. The house and location were fantastic! The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were roomy, the living room/dining room were a little tight but we made it work. I would definitely stay here again. I didn't feel the kitchen was well equipped at all. We were there over a holiday and there were barely enough glasses, plates or cutlery for us to use. There was one tee towel for the whole week. The cutlery was the worst! They were child sized and I found myself wanting to use the sturdy plastic ware that I brought. It would have been nice to give more than one towel per person so we did laundry a couple times. I'm aware that most people do not stay as long as we did. It's also nice to have a place to put your suitcase instead of on the floor. I don't like to unload my suitcase into drawers. One final thought would be to add more hooks to hang towels and clothes. The outside of the property was perfect for our dogs but we wished that the fire pit would have worked. With all of that said we really loved the property and would stay here again. This is our 4th long stay in Columbia and I would most likely stay here again especially if some of these issues were addressed. We certainly appreciated the cleanliness of the property and the layout.

Family weekend getaway
This house felt like home. The stay was very peaceful and we had everything that we needed. The privacy fence in the backyard with the artificial grass and paved seating area was great for the family and our dogs. We spent most of our time outside enjoying this area. The host was very quick to respond and follow up on any recommendations

Cute House
Cute little house. Very nice stay. Owners were accomodating and friendly
We booked this lovely place many months ago, for a weekend for which reservations were difficult to find. We were delighted to discover what a great location this was and what a charming comfortable place. The two main bedrooms are large and comfortable and the two baths very nice. The home is well appointed and the host very responsive and accommodating. Would definitely book again for a Columbia trip, especially one for university activities.

Beautiful home and neighborhood!
Booked this home for the family to attend a graduation at Fort Jackson and could not have been more pleased.
We had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The neighborhood was beautiful and peaceful for an evening walk. Wendy was great, reaching out prior to arrival and during our stay.
Highly recommend this home!
