Seven of my family members stayed in your home. My son said you made the most of every possibility with that house. It was very accommodating. Everything they needed was there. The location was perfect. Close to everything they needed, including a grocery store. When in need, we will definitely contact you again. Thank you very much.

Perfect home for a family vacay!

This property was exactly what we were looking for! It was clean, comfortable, and spacious. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood, which made for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Our host was friendly, responsive, and made sure that we had everything that we needed. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy place to stay!

Dance Competition Weekend

We stayed here with another family for the weeke d while our daughters had a dance competition at Furman University. It was cheaper than a hotel splitting with another family. Plent of room for us to stay and get the kids ready. And it was nice to have the place to eat and sit and relax when we came back after a ling day!

This was a great stay

We only had three adults, but this house was plenty big for a much larger family or group of friends. The owner texted me the information to get into the house and was very pleasant to chat with via text. The beds were so comfortable. I really loved the end table next to my side of the bed that had electrical and USB outlets builts into the table! I also appreciated the iron I found on top of the washing machine. We were in town for a wedding, and everything I carefully packed to not wrinkle was a hot mess when I opened my suitcase. The snacks on the kitchen table were also handy as we did a lot of coming and going during our stay. The neighborhood was quiet. The house was perfect. It really was.

"Bumps the lamp!" said Roger Rabbit

This is a great property and naturally a home away from home. Thankful to find the grace notes that were provided to help make our stay comfortable. I really appreciate the lack of carpet throughout! Even the fans looked dusted, and the vents were clear of buildup. We would stay again.

Just what we needed

Property was great - had everything we needed, very clean and well stocked. Check-in was easy and the things we were asked to do before leaving were clear & simple. Various family members came together for a graduation ceremony. This was MUCH better than staying in a hotel. Thank you!

Clean and cozy

This property was fully stocked with essentials and very clean. Probably the most comfortable I’ve had from past experiences. Very peaceful and perfect location to make you feel at home during your stay. There are maps and recommendations left upon arrival to help along your travels. The property manager communicated and was kind enough to help out when I mistakenly locked myself out. This location is also very close to convenient stores as well as the town with fun night life.I very much recommend.

Beware--Extra Cleaning Fee!

I hate to be the first one to give less than 5 stars, but please know that if you rent the home with 6 people (it sleeps more), you are charged an EXTRA CLEANING FEE! It's not listed anywhere and that is a problem if you ask me. I will say that the home was very clean and we enjoyed it but there shouldn't be hidden fees. Also, there is coffee pods for the Keurig but no sugar, fyi. The communication was great and we enjoyed our stay in the very comfy home.
