My wife, two daughters and I stayed there a few nights, and had a great time. The property was spotless, and the property manager was very easy to communicate with. We made good use of the movie room as well..

Thank you for your 5 star review. Most importantly, thank you for choosing SMW Properties as your home away from home. SMW
This home was amazing, everything you need is here. Great outdoor area as well. I would stay here again. Beautifully maintained. I highly recommend this home.
We chose this house for proximity to Congaree NP and was a short easy drive to get there. House is spacious and had fun playing pool. Also cooked breakfasts and dinners. Kitchen well stocked and roomy. Perfect for our visit.
we truly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean, the host was very engaged when needed, the house was just as nice as pictured. For us the location was not great because we were there for our son's graduation at U of SC and it was more like 30 mins away then 20. I was aware of that going in so not reflection on owner/property manager. OVerall great stay.

From the owner: “Thank you for your great review, and thank you for allowing me to provide you with your home away from home."
My family was visiting for our son’s graduation at Fort Jackson. This home was very comforting to my soldier and reminded him of home. Our laughter filled that wonderful home.
We enjoyed the house very much! Very clean! Kitchen could be stocked better w pans, foil, strainer, etc. When we stay in VRBOs we like to utilize the kitchen and cook vs eating out. Other then that, we enjoyed the place very much!
This house met all our needs. Communication with owners was prompt and professional. The location was perfect for easy access to Congaree National Park. We were able to prepare and our cook meals. The beds were comfortable. The house was clean and bright. So many activities were available, basketball court, pool table, corn hole, movie theater room, PAC-Man and Ms PAC Man.Our favorite was sitting on the back patio and enjoying the peace and quiet. The use of the garage was a bonus. .We would highly recommend this property to others.
Very new House with extensive amenities only 10 minutes from Cogaree national park which was our destination. Full kitchen, garage, basketball court, fire pit, built in grill, We did not use it but a wall size entertainment room. Bedrooms are comfortable. Coffee is provided. Everything was excellent. Only thing missing was a toaster.
Inviting and Comfortable - The Perfect Place to Stay
Your home away from home. Close to Congaree National Park, Univ. of South Carolina and Ft. Jackson. Immaculately clean, well-appointed home with a large patio, grill, media room and game room (billiards, Pac Man). Also, a large basketball court (basketballs included). The hosts could not have been nicer and really made us feel at home. They even surprised us with chocolate-covered strawberries on Valentines Day! I would definitely stay here again and whole heartedly recommend to anyone.
This place is a beautiful getaway for a family. The only issue we had was with the downstairs bathroom. Harldy could get water out of the shower head and the water pressure was so low we had to take showers upstairs but Im it will be better next time if we choose to stay there. Thank you 😊 beautiful home

Beautiful, comfortable home with all the amenities!
3 old college friends in town to enjoy a college football game. This house was perfect! A fire pit to hang out and roast marshmellows, smart TV's everywhere including a media room with recliners, a game room with pool and arcade, a beautiful half-court basketball court. Just a perfect retreat. A queen inflatable bed was used in the media room with a nearby full bath made it very comfortable for everyone. Nearby to Congaree National Park for hiking and kayaking.
Thanks for sharing this great home!

From the owner: "Thank you, Steve, for your great review. I am so glad that you and your friends enjoyed your stay. Thanks for taking great care of the home as indeed, it is your home away from home!"
The primary reason for our trip to South Carolina was to visit Congaree National Park. The house is close to the park, looked great in the pictures, and was well reviewed. This home is better than expected! It is extremely clean! It has fabulous gathering spaces both indoors and outside. The basketball court was a hit! The house was so great that after spending time at the park hiking or canoeing, everyone just wanted to return to the house to hang out. The house is also conveniently located only 20 minutes from Columbia and its great restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This home is a gem among vacation rental homes! Thanks for allowing us to experience the peace and relaxation your home offers!

Spectacular Home Away from Home!
The primary reason for our visit to South Carolina was to spend time exploring Congaree National Park. The house is very close to the park, looked great in the pictures, and had really good reviews. The house was even better than expected! It is super clean! It has comfortable spaces to gather both indoors and outside. After a day of hiking or canoeing, everyone just wanted to come back to the house and hang out. The basketball court was a hit! The house is also only about 20 minutes from some really good restaurants in Columbia. Again, the house was so perfect that we ordered takeout for dinner instead of eating at restaurants. A gem in the vacation home rental market!

Wonderful Home!
Everything about our stay was wonderful. We booked the home for 3 nights on a short trip to visit Congaree National Park and the city of Columbia. It was a perfect location for both destinations, as it was only 13 minutes to Congaree National Park and 25 minutes to downtown Columbia. The rental was spotlessly clean, comfortable and inviting, which made it feel just like my own home. The beds were very clean and comfortable, and the same can be said for the entire home, inside and outside. Everything was well stocked (toiletries, towels, linens, coffee pods etc.), and the check-in and check-out instructions were very legible and easy to understand. The owner was very accessible. pleasant and easy to communicate with whenever I had a question. There were a few perks that really stuck out compared to most rentals, such as being able to park inside the garage, a large and beautiful yard, a great theater room, and access to a very well maintained basketball court and horseshoe pit (with basketballs and horseshoes provided.) In addition, they also have a gas grill and wood burning fire pit, with fuel provided for both. I would give it 10 STARS if I could. Overall, this one probably the best vacation rental I have stayed in, and I absolutely recommend this property to anyone traveling to the Columbia, SC area!
