The pictures really didn’t do justice for how peaceful and cute the house was. We loved the plants around the house and timeless furniture. The fresh flowers were a lovely touch as weak. We would be happy to stay here again!

This place is a gem! Though new(ish) to the VRBO platform, Catherine is an experienced host. I appreciated so many things about this host and rental: Prompt and helpful communication. The house being thoroughly cleaned. The amazing view of the lake from the master suite, living room, and dining room. Comfortable seating areas inside and out. A well-equipped kitchen. Fun decor and beautiful plants. There is a lot to see and do in Columbia, and this was an ideal base: close to downtown, Congaree NP, and the airport. Would definitely stay here again!

If you are looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay while exploring Congaree National Park, this lakeside home is an excellent choice. Less than 30 minutes drive from both the Visitor Center and Cedar Creek Landing, the location is convenient to grocery stores and a variety of restaurants as well as to Columbia. The house is well appointed with thoughtful details, like luggage racks, bedside electrical outlets, high-end bathroom products and nice kitchen tools. There is plenty of space to spread out between two large closets and lots of free countertops in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry area. Living houseplants, hardwood floors with soft rugs and lovely, fun decorations all contribute to a homey feel. The two decks were wonderful places to relax and enjoy what nature brought into view. Communication with the host was excellent with clear instructions and quick response times. We had a wonderful stay!
Unique art through the home.
View from a living room window.
Nice deck for enjoying the outdoors.
View of the lagoon.
