The property was just as described online. Very family-friendly from plenty of room and seating to spread out, games to play, and large yard for our grandson to run. The host promptly responded to questions we had as well as made contact to make sure everything was okay with our stay. We were able to enjoy Wild Lights at Riverbanks Zoo as well as the Saluda Riverwalk, West Columbia Riverwalk, and a morning at Leo’s Landing(a pretty amazing all inclusive playground.) The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals and eat together. We will stay again.

Clean and comfortable. Getting TV's to work was a challenge. The TV in the family room froze up and 3 remotes for 1 TV in the Master with no directions continued to frustrate me throughout our stay.

Beautiful home...but beware.. ROACHES!

The house is very nicely decorated and spacious but 2 tvs do not have cable and we couldnt get them to work/or the one working to stay on. The master bdem tv wouldnt connect and when it finally did had a frozen Netflix screen. The living room yv played Netflix and while streaming news/live tv it randomly shuts off. We can live withoit tv..not thr biggest deal but helpful for thr kids to sleep. The MAIN issue we had was we found 2 small roaches in the middle bathroom on our 2nd night and a green caterpillar in the kitchen. The catepillar was really no big deal but roaches..GROSS! NOT acceptable! There is no hot tub/ pool or whatever it is described. Communication was pretty quick with host about issues but he suggested the bugs we saw were palmetto bugs and they were definitely ROACHES! To make things worse...while driving home one was found traveling homw with us and was found on our luggage at a reat stop! I understood bugs get inside and this is a woodsy area..but a roach is a roach. They need an exterminator QUICK! Rhwir solution was a discounted next stay..and that doesn't seem to be a reasonable resolution. We have had enough bugs. No thank you!
