Thanks Christy! We were so proud to host your family! We are so glad that you were comfortable and found everything that you needed to make your stay a good one. You were great guests! Come again!
We really enjoyed our first visit to Margie’s Place Very comfortable for our family and relatives to gather. Bedrooms provided plenty of room and comfort, kitchen was easy and clean with plenty of items for cooking and eating. The house was tastefully furnished and we especially appreciated the several places to sit for dialogue and games! We look forward to a return visit.

This house worked out wonderfully for us. It was about 15 minutes from the wedding venue. The number of bedrooms was just right. The house was very clean and well stocked.

The house and host are by far one of the best places I have ever rented. If this place doesn’t have it, you don’t need it. Margie’s Place will be on my list of places to come back to. Five stars all day long. Thanks for a great stay.

Thanks Jim! We were so glad to welcome you and your friends to SC. We hope you will come again soon.
This is a well maintained, beautiful home with many amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there while visiting our daughter in college. We will definitely try to rent this home again!
This is, by far, the best home we’ve ever stayed in! The home is beautifully decorated, clean, and has everything you could ever want or need. There’s plenty of room and many amenities. The owners are easy to communicate with, friendly, and trustworthy. I could not recommend this place more!

We have stayed here on multiple occasions. This property provides a very family friendly place to stay. Everything that you’d have in your own home you will find here. Very clean and neat. Plenty of room to move about and relax. The hosts are friendly and cordial.

Myself, 2 adult sons and grandson played golf around Columbia and attended the Monday Masters practice round. Would not have changed anything including the accommodations. Hal and Linda made for a very pleasant stay. Thank you.

Lexington dream house!
A beautiful, comfortable home away from home! This house suited our family perfectly. So well equipped there was nothing we needed. The owners were a pleasure to work with!
If the need ever arises we will certainly rent again 😊

We were in town for a funeral. The house is very charming, cozy, roomy, well equipped, nice big yard, fire pit, had free YouTube TV in every room. It was really nice to have the peace and quiet during our stay. We highly recommend Margie’s Place. We know where we are staying next time we are in town hopefully if available! Lake just down the street.

I stayed here ahead of USC fall graduation with my husband, 2 sons, and my parents. There was plenty of space to be together but also have our own space and privacy. Everything we needed was truly in the kitchen. We've read that in other listings and then gotten there only to be disappointed - that was NOT the case here! They had everything we needed and more. Even the wine glasses were themed to the winter season. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean - exactly how it looks in the pictures. There were so many nice touches that made the house feel like home - decorations for the holiday, throw blankets, books, plenty of tvs, a dish of chocolates (my sons loved that!), and a really helpful welcome book. The house is close to plenty of things to do (we enjoyed shopping and dinner at Mellow Mushroom) and was less than a 30 minute ride to the University even during rush hour. I highly recommend you book this home if you need to stay in the area - you won't be disappointed!

Hi Mary, the homeowners have asked us to share this response:
Thanks so much! Congratulations on your grandson’s accomplishments! Just one of many to come. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. You are welcome to come anytime! Many blessings to you and your wonderful family!
My experience for a recent extended stay at this home was exceptional. The host couple provided very thorough information from the initial e-mail communication I had with them through to the last morning of my stay. The home is well equipped and the coffee and k-cups provided were an extra special touch. As I was in the Columbia area for just over two weeks for work it was sure nice having this home to come to each evening. I would definitely stay here again.
