Peaceful Stay on the Edisto River – Highly Recommend!We stayed at this river house on the Edisto River from July 31 to August 3, and it was a fun getaway for our family. The view of the river was beautiful, and having private boat access made it even more special—we spent hours on the water and soaking up the peaceful surroundings.The home felt private and relaxing, perfect for unwinding. Everything was clean and comfortable, and we really appreciated the quiet, natural setting.A special shout-out to the host, who was incredibly responsive and kind. After we checked out, we realized my son had left his necklace behind. She not only found it quickly but also made sure we were able to pick it up—such a thoughtful gesture that meant a lot to us.Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful river escape with family. We’d love to come back

Excellent cabin by a peaceful winding river

Great little cabin by a river. Remote and peaceful. Occasional jet skis buzz by on the river. The vibe of the place is very chill. I will definitely stay here again.

Not clean!!! The place is much older and run down than the pictures online depict. The floor entering into on of the bedrooms was so warped that the door would not close even halfway, making it very difficult for child to sleep when adults are still up. The furniture is very old and everyone sitting on the couch rolls to the middle. I knew from pics that it would have a campy kind of feel but i did not expect mice droppings in every room! The silverware in the drawer was so grimy, we had to wash every piece before use. Finding mouse droppings on a coffee cup that had been rinced and left on the sink in the morning when we returned from activities, convinced us to wash every dish and cup before use. There was no place to sit and eat other than screen porch, but with heat ondex over 100, that wasn't an option. Dead bugs and mouse evidence onback of toilet and what looks like mold inside and on flaps of window air conditioner ticked me off and caused my allergies to explode. I booked this place based on reviews that it was clean and a 10 out of 10 rating! The owner is listed as a premier host, are these reviews from another property she owns? I have been booking thru VRBO for years and this is my first negative review of property. I'm just thankful this was a short stay and not the typical 7-9 days I tend to book for. If i were staying longer, i probably would have contacted host to have it cleaned while were there or found fine place else to stay.
Shower is smaller than a cruise ship shower and not cleaned well. There is also no place in the bathroom to hang towels to dry
Dead bugs and droppings on toilet
Droppings on bathroom window sill
What appears to be mold/mildew on inside air conditioners. My allergies confirmed.

Riverside is a great little hideaway!

Property was exactly as described. Melinda was a wonderful host. She was easy to communicate with, and seemed to genuinely care that we felt at home and enjoyed our stay. We had a quiet, relaxing time. We will definitely be back!

Hidden Gem

We had my son‘s 18th birthday party here and we had a great time. The place had everything we needed. A small boat ramp that was perfect for my Jet Ski. We were able to swim and float down the river. It is a nice little getaway if you ever want something quiet and affordable with access to the water. The host Melinda checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. I’m going back and would definitely recommend staying here. Great family getaway!!

Family get together for Navy Graduation

My son graduated from NAVY Nuclear Power School in Charleston and this was a great way to spend the weekend after graduation. Close to Charleston. Our family had an awesome time. Kayaking was great (didn't catch any fish but we tried) and the outside firepit and seating was great. The inside of the house and porch was awesome also. Would defintely recommend this location.

Adorable cottage on the Edisto

Melinda’s property is a perfect little getaway! Our kiddo and dog loved the fenced yard, where they could run all day and the lot is huge. The cottage is well appointed with all you could need, neighbors are friendly, and it’s so peaceful. While a bit far from groceries, there are a few store nearby with essentials - we loved Randall’s shop for the firewood! What a blissful family weekend - we can’t wait to come back!

Lazy River House

Needed some place to stay while floors were being refinished. Quaint, laid back and only about 50 feet from Edisto River. It was very hot and not much to do if you do not do things on the water. The TV worked via Air Play from iPad. Watched some Braves baseball that way and Madam Sec Series. Beds are up against the wall. This made it difficult to get out of bed during the night. Shower leaves a lot to be desired. Killed two Copper Head snakes in yard since this is so near the Edisto River. Fishing not good this time of year. Would rent again if we need to. Worked for us.
