A quaint cottage close to Congaree NP. A quiet place nestled in the woods but close toany amenities without all the sound of traffic. Enjoyed the sounds of nature and appreciated the hosts hospitality and the having access to items that one have forgotten such as toothbrushes, deodorant and other miscellaneous items. Thanks for a great vacation.

We can’t say enough about how nice this property is. Absolutely no negative comments. The pictures don’t do it justice. The kitchen was very well equipped, including china and silverware that were one set. The bedrooms and living area are very nice. It has a large dining table as well. The setting in the woods is beautiful. We regretted having booked only two nights, but the length was dictated by the amount of time we needed to see the national park. The location is about a 15 minute drive from the park entrance.

Great spot for exploring Congaree—10 minutes to Boardwalk Loop, about 13 minutes to Cedar Creek put-in. Private, well-kept spot. (I heard a neighbor’s donkey but never saw another house.) Very responsive host. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay. We wish we could have spent more time on site enjoying the secluded setting with the flowering plants and singing birds. Would definitely come back if ever in the area again. Close to Congaree NP and nice drive to historic Columbia.
