Amazing owner

Wendy is amazing- just like the house that was beautifully restored down to the smallest detail. Finally a host that gets how to treat traveling families: great communication and effortless check-out procedures. We felt like we were staying at our extended family’s house without them there and all the drama. Would stay here again anytime!!

The Perfect Spot!

We booked this home for my son-in-laws graduation from boot camp since it was so close to Ft. Jackson. We had 4 adults, a toddler and an infant. There was more than enough room!The space is beautifully decorated, comfortable and homey. All of the bedrooms are large and with three bathrooms there was plenty of room for everyone to get ready without stepping over each other. The house is in a very nice neighborhood of large family homes and felt very safe. Minutes away from the grocery store in a shopping center with upscale stores and a very short drive to the base which was perfect for us and why we were there!If we ever have the opportunity to return, I will definitely stay at this home again. My family said it’s one of the nicest vacation homes they have ever stayed in. I highly recommend this spot!
