The Neighborhood: Irmo was recognized in 2018 as “One of the Safest Cities” in South Carolina” and by Money Magazine in 2007 as the 12th “Most Affordable Place to Live in the Country.” Located off the shore of Lake Murray and only ten miles from Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, Irmo was a sleepy little town of 500 people in the early 1970s. Today with more than 13,000 residents Irmo is one of the country’s most sought-after places to live. Located off the shores of Lake Murray and only ten miles from Downtown Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, this town has it all. While visiting Irmo, you can shop at the region’s best shopping at the Columbiana Centre Mall, or take the kids to Frankie's Fun Park for the day.

Would go back
Cons: Had a little hiccup getting access, one garage door wouldn’t open and the internet wasn’t working
But even with that I would definitely stay here again. Spacious place with a lot of sleeping space. Neighborhood was quiet and great for walking our dog.

Not the original house
The PATRIOT CORPORATION changed my house reservation the week before my trip. I was amenable and the pictures of N.Woodstream house looked lovely. Not so in person. Filthy floors and a very unsafe backyard that no one could play in. Very,very disappointed. So it’s not VRBO anymore if a CORPORATION owns it. W ouldnt recommend this house to anyone.
