Beautiful property and apartment, totally exceeded my expectations. Extra bonus was all the drinks and snacks the hosts provided, we arrived late and were too tired to go out and grab dinner so those items were very much enjoyed and appreciated. Delicious breakfast treats also provided (variety of fruit, muffins, etc.) as well as coffee and tea. Excellent communication with hosts. Enjoyed walking our dog on the property and meeting the wonderful critters living there (horse, two donkeys, pony and dogs). My only regret is that our busy schedule didn't allow us stay longer in this lovely retreat.

Best accommodations and hosts anywhere!

This lovely apartment was even better than we had hoped!! Perfect is all I can say. The location was pastoral, with horses, donkeys, and dogs available to enjoy, as well as to make this just like a scenic postcard. The hosts went out of their way to provide even more than promised. They couldn’t have been more perfect-providing food, drinks, breakfast food, snacks, I could go on and on. It was so clean, so homey, and we will absolutely stay there each time we’re in the Aiken area. Five stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 is not nearly enough!

Tranquility

Very well-appointed place that exceeded our expectations. Truly, one of the most memorable places that will be hard to beat for many reasons. We left feeling so well taken care of. Both Susan, and Ed could not have been more gracious, and generous with providing all the comforts of home, and then some! We hope to return someday soon!

a gem

We enjoyed our stay here very much, and found this to be a special place. Very clean, had all of the essentials and more. Quiet, gorgeous views, and fun to have the donkeys, ponies and horses to visit. The owners were quick to respond to any questions and suggestions. I would come back again and again.

Wonderful stay away from it all

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in this rental. The apartment felt like a cozy guest house that had been thoughtfully prepared: sparkling clean, well-stocked, and with quality linens. The host greeted us personally, and despite our proximity to the main house, our rental was separate and private. The fenced courtyard was a safe, beautiful place for our pup to stretch her legs, and the hosts’ dogs were friendly and playful. Located a quick 20 minutes from Highfields, we will definitely stay here again the next time our travels take us to Aiken.

A little gem

We had a wonderful visit. The pictures don’t do any justice. The owners Ed, Suzan and Emily are wonderful. Extremely thoughtful and friendly. The house was spotless and very welcoming. Fully stocked up kitchen. They welcomed us with fresh fruit, variates of cold beverages. Many goodies for the kids and many for the adults as well ☺️. They even provided breakfast that included fresh farm eggs. We stayed only for one night but enjoyed exploring the farm. Our two dogs loved playing in the spacious yard with their new friends. Thank you Ed and Suzan.

Diamond In The Rough

Was in the area for The Masters golf tournament, the property is about 30 minutes outside of Augusta but ABSOLUTELY worth the driving time. Beautiful apartment on a beautiful ranch type setting. The hosts go out of their way to make you feel welcome and truly care about your stay, wonderful people!! Very clean modern apartment with all the amenities. If I am ever in the area again this is the only place I will stay…an absolute gem that words can’t totally describe!!
