We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Just a suggestion: thank you for making firewood available for a camp fire. Thoughts: would be great to have an axe & other campfire accessories readily available, perhaps next to the water hose. Hope to come back in the future. Have a blessed day!

We had a wonderful stay. The hosts made everything so easy. We can’t speak to how accessible they were because there wasn’t anything we needed, they thought of everything. We especially enjoyed the availability of two bikes. With the Swamp Rabbit trail being so close to the cabin the bikes made exploring the area, including downtown, so accessible. We have already recommended the property to others and hope to stop back in the future.

The cabin was just as described and perfect for our one night stay. I wish I could pack the whole cabin up and take it back home with us it was so cool! The property manager was easy to communicate with and helped us each step of the way.

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin is minutes away from town, but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The property had all amenities as promised. The driveway is shared with another home but we were never ran into the other owners. There were quite a few spiderwebs on the walls and in the bathroom. Overall, it is a nice property.

What makes this property unique

Our house was built in 1909 by a gentleman by the name of WJ Thackston. He was in real estate, and he bought all of the land in the area from the family of the former Governor of South Carolina, Benjamin Franklin Perry. Thackston along with a group of gentlemen including J.B. Duke (Duke power) and a Furman (Furman university) enticed a textile finishing company to build a plant at the end of what would be come Clarendon Ave. This plant supported a mill village that would grow to become the San Souci Neighborhood, and would feature one of the first golf courses in the south (which would have been behind the cabin). We were told that the cabin was moved to the site as our home was being built, but do not know where it existed previous to that. We assume based on a number of wrought iron nails on the exterior that it was once in a public space, and the nails were from postings and bulletins. We are always looking for more information, but chasing down 100 year history is difficult.
