BAC Graduation for our Soldier

I was looking for a house off post that would accommodate our family. The views are beautiful, home is on tbe water so fishing and swimming is an option for those who enjoy outside. We loved sitting on the porch, talking. The sunroom was nice when it rained and would be great during cold months. Overall the home was a very nice stay. Our Soldier was able to come back for the day and he enjoyed the peacefulness and just being able to come back and have that family normalcy.

Good spot and location

House is nice and a good location. Pictures a little bit nicer than the actual. Rained so we didn’t get to use the outside like we wanted. Propane was out on grill and had to go find, but PM reimbursed and gave a bit more for the hassle. Floors could use a good cleaning. Spilled some water and used a white towel. Wasn’t white after that.Overall, nice place in a good location. We stayed here for the Masters.

Beautiful property, some issues

Fabulous location, beautiful setting on the lake for fishing, for enjoying sunrises and sunsets, Large, clean, and well appointed. There appears to have been some serious water damage to ceilings and floors that was aesthetically covered rather than properly repaired. Also, at this price point, we expected more luxurious linens. We would stay on this lake again.

graduation trip

Beautiful setting close to Columbia and all of the events we had to attend. The house was clean and there was plenty of room to relax. 2 small problems- the kitchen does not have enough serving pieces (spoons, blender, toaster...) and the kitchen faucet doesn't have any water pressure. Otherwise it was great!
