Our host was very accommodating, our plans changed and we were able to check in early. The cottage had comfortable beds, a beautiful sitting room, and dining area, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals and close to restaurants, grocery stores, and Fort Jackson.

House was perfect! Clean, spacious, and comfortable. Location was spot on. Host sent a list of local restaurants, some that are walking distance before the stay. House is in a well populated area but it’s super quiet, no traffic noise or commotion. Will be staying again when back in the area.

Cute house and a great location

Super cute house, great location, accommodating host! We stayed at this property due to my daughter having a weekend full of plays at her school and not wanting to travel across town numerous times all weekend. Check in was seamless, the house was clean with all necessities, and you could not ask for a better location. We will definitely stay again if the need arises!
