Host was very accommodating even with the schedule changes we had. Overall the house was beautiful and worked well for our needs. The only issue we had was that the house seemed like it had been sitting for a while without being checked on and was not cleaned properly before we arrived. The beds, sheets, kitchen and baths were clean overall but there were hundreds of bugs (dead and alive) everywhere in the house. We had to vacuum and sweep much of the house prior to enjoying it. Other than that, it was lovely!

Good bur had some issues

Pros: House is good as listed. Enjoyed amenities. Daleen is very communicative. Nice quiet setting. Can't hear neighbors. Comfortable for a larger family or small group like ours. Cons: As a larger group we couldn't all sit in the living room together without dragging in chairs because it only seats 5. We had an issue with the air conditioning downstairs. It took 5 days to fix so we really couldn't use that area because it got too hot. We were offered a air con unit but we would be required to go pick it up at Lowes or someplace similar and hook it up. I was not comfortable doing that and felt that wasn't our responsibility. She didn't have someone to do that. We ended up with 1 fan (for the 3 rooms) so only the bedroom had a fan. The other rooms we had to wait until it was fixed to use because it was just too warm. She was attentive about it, but I felt it could have been handled better by having someone to bring and set up the air.

Family trip

We had a great time at the Cardinal's Nest!! It had everything we needed. Very clean and tons of space. The kids loved the lower level with the game room and theatre. My elderly parents enjoyed the ground floor with the master bedroom, spacious bathroom and all the kitchen, dining and living spaces. All of the beds and pillows were very comfortable. Great views from the deck. We loved watching the deer come through grazing each night. And from the deck my parents could watch the grandkids and their tetherball battles. Lol

Family Vacation

The Cardinals Nest was a great place to stay for our group of 9. Plenty of beds to choose from and lots of space to move around. We enjoyed all of the amenities. The movie theater was awesome. The recliners in the theater were so comfortable and recline with the push of a button. We saw deer every morning of our stay except for the morning we had thunderstorms. I would stay again. Thanks for the memories.

A Wonderful Place

The Cardinal's Nest is a beautiful property, we enjoyed it immensely. We were in town 5 days for a wedding and the house was a perfect setting for a lot of family visiting time. Very comfortable and private, yet close to Columbia with fun dining and shopping. Our host Daleen was great about answering any questions and ensuring we had a nice stay. Really nice place, we'll be looking for an excuse to come back!

Perfect for our large family to rest and recharge

We had a wonderful time! It was a very peaceful stay. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy each other’s company and also to separate for rest and downtime. The only complaints were there was a strong musty/moldy smell in the basement areas. Taking showers in the primary bathroom was interesting and uncomfortable with the extra shower heads that were awkwardly placed. There was no shut off for those and the water pressure was a bit much. Other than those things everything else was great! It was a very stocked & accommodating property. The owner was very thoughtful, kind and available for any questions we had.

Peaceful Spacious Family Getaway

The home was perfect for my large family to gather for a family wedding nearby. The home is well equipped for entertainment and cooking. There is plenty of space for those who need some quiet solitude or for several to gather for conversation and games. Plenty of outdoor seating and space to roam. The host quickly and kindly responded to my questions which was greatly appreciated!

We traveled to TN for a softball tournament and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The four 13yr olds loved the theatre room along with the game room.
