This was such a perfect stay for our family of 4 (2 adults, a teenager and a kid). We planned a trip to Congaree and wanted a place to stay that would be close to the park as well as Columbia and be a fun place to hang out. This home definitely fit the bill! We spent so much time enjoying the back yard area (playing sports, grilling at the outdoor kitchen, making smores at the fire pit, pizza on the picnic tables, etc). The inside didn't disappoint either with a game room, home theater and fish tank. My kids especially appreciated the pac-man arcade games. The house and yard were immaculate. I would recommend this place to any family visiting Congaree National Park!

The house exceeded expectations that were already high. It was quiet, plenty of room and amenities that were plentiful. The property is well kept up and the hostess was very responsive. Proximity to Congaree is only 15 minutes with a pleasant drive. Highly recommend this property.

We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful home, quiet area, very clean . Check in was very easy and was able to communicate with the owner easily. A nice folder with all the information regarding the house, contact information and local information was on the counter along with a nice welcome basket. Home had all the amenities listed which were enjoyed by the whole family. Would stay again.

Close to Congaree Park

We chose this house for proximity to Congaree NP and was a short easy drive to get there. House is spacious and had fun playing pool. Also cooked breakfasts and dinners. Kitchen well stocked and roomy. Perfect for our visit.

Cute VRBO

We enjoyed the house very much! Very clean! Kitchen could be stocked better w pans, foil, strainer, etc. When we stay in VRBOs we like to utilize the kitchen and cook vs eating out. Other then that, we enjoyed the place very much!

U of SC Graduation

we truly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean, the host was very engaged when needed, the house was just as nice as pictured. For us the location was not great because we were there for our son's graduation at U of SC and it was more like 30 mins away then 20. I was aware of that going in so not reflection on owner/property manager. OVerall great stay.

Great House when Visiting Congaree National Park

Very new House with extensive amenities only 10 minutes from Cogaree national park which was our destination. Full kitchen, garage, basketball court, fire pit, built in grill, We did not use it but a wall size entertainment room. Bedrooms are comfortable. Coffee is provided. Everything was excellent. Only thing missing was a toaster.

Inviting and Comfortable - The Perfect Place to Stay

Your home away from home. Close to Congaree National Park, Univ. of South Carolina and Ft. Jackson. Immaculately clean, well-appointed home with a large patio, grill, media room and game room (billiards, Pac Man). Also, a large basketball court (basketballs included). The hosts could not have been nicer and really made us feel at home. They even surprised us with chocolate-covered strawberries on Valentines Day! I would definitely stay here again and whole heartedly recommend to anyone.

Beautiful home

This place is a beautiful getaway for a family. The only issue we had was with the downstairs bathroom. Harldy could get water out of the shower head and the water pressure was so low we had to take showers upstairs but Im it will be better next time if we choose to stay there. Thank you 😊 beautiful home

Beautiful, comfortable home with all the amenities!

3 old college friends in town to enjoy a college football game. This house was perfect! A fire pit to hang out and roast marshmellows, smart TV's everywhere including a media room with recliners, a game room with pool and arcade, a beautiful half-court basketball court. Just a perfect retreat. A queen inflatable bed was used in the media room with a nearby full bath made it very comfortable for everyone. Nearby to Congaree National Park for hiking and kayaking. Thanks for sharing this great home!

Beautiful Home

This house met all our needs. Communication with owners was prompt and professional. The location was perfect for easy access to Congaree National Park. We were able to prepare and our cook meals. The beds were comfortable. The house was clean and bright. So many activities were available, basketball court, pool table, corn hole, movie theater room, PAC-Man and Ms PAC Man.Our favorite was sitting on the back patio and enjoying the peace and quiet. The use of the garage was a bonus. .We would highly recommend this property to others.

Spectacular Home Away from Home

The primary reason for our trip to South Carolina was to visit Congaree National Park. The house is close to the park, looked great in the pictures, and was well reviewed. This home is better than expected! It is extremely clean! It has fabulous gathering spaces both indoors and outside. The basketball court was a hit! The house was so great that after spending time at the park hiking or canoeing, everyone just wanted to return to the house to hang out. The house is also conveniently located only 20 minutes from Columbia and its great restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This home is a gem among vacation rental homes! Thanks for allowing us to experience the peace and relaxation your home offers!
