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.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Oct 2025
We appreciate the stay. We'll update instructions for guests in regards to the TV, It appears based on the stay the Living Room remote was swapped with Master (both have Roku). As backup all TVs could be controlled with smartphones (which we'll let future guests know).

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!

There are no roaches in our home. Melissa has tried to extort a review from our homeowner on multiple occasions and is now defaming our listing. VRBO won't help me out here. It's a shame we have to result to this type of back and forth, Melissa, all the best to you. Future guests, please see our 20+ 5 star reviews on VRBO and 60+ 5 star reviews on other platforms.

I've been doing real estate for over a decade. In the last 5 years I decided to buy, and build the most unique properties I could find. This journey is ongoing and evolving with each property. Feel free to ask any real estate / construction related questions.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood, particularly this Farmhouse was one of the oldest homes in the community, it was an area ripe for change and we have been seeing this over the years. I also wanted the challenge to see if I could bring a ounce historic home back to life.
