We really enjoyed our stay! It was so peaceful and the lakeview was beautiful! We loved that it as so close to Fort Jackson for graduation and that our son got to relax and enjoy a few days before heading off again!
Stayed there when my son graduated from basic training. Lots of room for everyone and very close to Fort Jackson. Host was great and didn’t take long to respond to messages. I recommend this place to anyone who has a SIT and is looking for someplace near base.
My host Dawn was exceptional in every facet of our stay. The home was warm, comfortable, and family friendly. The location was great. Only minutes from Fort Jackson base (our venue). We will stay here again.
Perfect place for our family to stay to celebrate our sons family day and graduation from Fort Jackson. Clean,spacious,convenient location, peaceful relaxing environment. Beautiful well kept home.Wonderful host! Well stocked. God Bless!
This property was perfect for our visit to see our son at USC. Plenty of space for three adult couples and our kids. The back porch was great for all of us to hang out. Very clean and the beds were comfortable.
Nice spacious older home in a great location. Huge back deck over looking the lake. Sunrises were amazing. The owner was there when I arrived and she was very pleasant and accommodating.
Host was very prompt to answer questions before we arrived and after we departed. She was able to accommodate an early check in. Home was clean and very spacious. Included basic kitchen and bathroom amenities. Great location. Would definitely recommend if staying in/around the Columbia area.
Dawn was the best. So easy to communicate with. We were there for our daughter’s graduation from Fort Jackson. It was close to the base. The property was beautiful.
We had a great view of the lake. A nice big deck to sit out to enjoy the view. The house itself was very pretty. The accommodations were great - we did not want for anything that we needed. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone visiting Fort Jackson - only a 4 min drive to the base. Overall a wonderful experience!
This house fit all of our needs for our family to gather as we celebrated the graduation of our son from basic training at fort jackson! There was plenty of room for everyone with the outside deck. Plenty of space and seating. It was super close to shopping and stores to gather everything for the celebration! Would highly recommend it!
Dawn was such a great host! She made sure all guests were able to get into the property, and was an excellent communicator! The beds were all super comfy, and the backyard is a dream! My extended family will be renting this place often as they travel to Columbia for visits. Thank you for hosting us!
Thankyou! We stayed to visit our Soldier on family day and graduation. Beautiful house and neighborhood! We spent time outside on the deck, beautiful water views.It was fun to hear the bugles and know our kid was there hearing them too.
Our family of 10 came into town to pick up a son graduating from army basic training. We were there for a week and we felt we had the room we needed, we had the space to spread out that we needed, and we all slept well the whole week long. The hosts were very accommodating on an early check in as we arrived on a red eye and needed a place to land early in the day. Thank you!
Everything was very good. A grate place to stay and our host was very good. We went for our sons graduation from Fort Jackson it was very close to the base so it made everything very easy.it was very clean and comfortable.

About the host
Hosted by Dawn Duperre
We lived in this neighborhood until we moved south of Columbia and bought a farm. We grow blueberries and keep bees. It's great to provide a nice place to stay.
Why they chose this property
This was my parents' home for 40 years, so it's very close to my heart. We spent a lot of time and resources updating it for guests to enjoy. My favorite thing about this house is sitting on the deck and enjoying the lake view and natural setting.
What makes this property unique
The house is on top of a hill overlooking the lake. It's peaceful, yet close to everything. The deck and screen porch make it a pleasure to relax outside.
