The home is cozy, beautiful and well appointed. The owner is very attentive and responsive. We drove almost 18 hours and were arriving very late so she made sure all the lights and heater was on for us for when we arrived. Wonderful host and person. Have a great stay!

This is a great cozy house to stay. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We visited the area to go to Fort Jackson and it was only 10 minutes away. Would definitely stay again.

Comfortable Cottage

My sister and a friend stayed at the cottage and explored antique and thrift stores. Great location for food and shopping. After a full day of retail therapy, we relaxed and played cards on the beautiful dining room table. The owner has a true gift for decorating and the house was very clean. This is our 2nd time renting there and look forward to a 3rd.
