About this property
LAKE FRONT GUESTHOUSE
Enjoy your stay in Columbia in this cozy guest house overlooking Cary Lake! It is centrally located in Arcadia Lakes, 10 minutes from downtown, USC, and Fort Jackson. You’ll be close to everything in the capital, but far enough to enjoy a relaxing trip. Awake refreshed and ready for a day exploring the city via this clean, sunshine filled home with an impressive view. Cook in your own kitchen, clean up in the remodeled bathroom, and sink into the soft bed after seeing the city.

About the host
Hosted by Danielle Joseph
We are a pair of young educators with three children and two dogs. We love to travel and see new places and host events for our friends/family in our home. We are excited to explore the short term rental world and look forward to having you stay with us!
Why they chose this property
Enjoy staying in our private guest house. Myself, my husband, our three children, and our 2 dogs live on the property, but are committed to providing our guests their privacy. Our dog remains in the main house and only comes out while leashed. He does not go in or near the guesthouse. Relax and find comfort in the park like setting that is our backyard.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening on our covered deck. Take in the beautiful water view during your stay. Also, enjoy games with the family and a comfy bed at night that you can adjust to your liking!
There is a lake located at the back of the property, but no one is permitted access at this time. If you find yourself admiring the view from the dock, please be aware that it is in need of repair, but it is safe to stand on.
