LOVED! This place was super clean- no dust bunnies, no hair, or tissues behind the bed (yes i look); all baseboards very clean. The perfect dustfree environment was appreciated by my allergy suffering and particular wife (me). The front porch was delightful to read while listening to the busy bees and birds, and smelling the beautiful pink rose bush. The antique decor and the charming creeking wood floor made this place feel like a B&B in the most positive way. Every detail anticipated and provided. This morning we were greeted by Daisy and 2 of her friends, along with a tree frog who insisted on remaining in the kitchen (he relented to the front porch). This might be our favotite vrbo and, considering we are retired and use 5-6 per year, is very high praise from us. Thank you for a perfect stay. Highest recommendation. I wish all vrbo’s had your standards.

The house is as lovely in person as it is in the photos. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to warm up and serve the soups and bread we brought with us. The Nespresso coffee maker had plenty of pods, sugar was provided which was so helpful in the morning. We appreciated that some condiments and water were left for our use, too. The location was perfect for our trip to the National Park and only 15 minutes from a Food Lion. We loved sitting outside for dinner and enjoyed the birds and a visit from the family dog.
A very friendly visit from the family dog!

Gorgeous cottage!

Incredibly clean, well stocked, beautiful property nestled in the woods. Debbie’s space had plenty of room, a gorgeous yard, fire pit, and had extra charges, soaps, coffee, any pot/pans you could need and even a griddle! I would highly recommend this stay to anyone traveling to the area and looking for a nice, quiet, clean, spacious property for their getaway!

Fun and relaxing getaway

This place exceeded every expectation. We came because the cottage is so close to Congaree NP, but fell in love with the peaceful coziness and serenity. We enjoyed birdwatching from the front porch and smores in the evening. The home was stocked with everything we and our 3 young children needed. Thinking this may be an annual trip!

Relaxing country home

This is our second time staying here. We enjoy the quiet (except for the airbase jets and helicopters that occasionally fly over), the birds, and the sense of being out in the country. The home is very comfortable with ALL of the necessities, plus some, provided. For example, wireless device chargers were provided! The hosts are responsive and pleasant and even keep the bird feeders filled!

The property itself was peaceful and beautiful with flowers and birds. The home was immaculate and very comfortable for our family of 4. Proximity to Congaree National Park couldn't be beat. Host was very responsive and welcoming. Probably best experience I have had with a home share!

We really enjoyed our stay. We wish we could have spent more time on site enjoying the secluded setting with the flowering plants and singing birds. Would definitely come back if ever in the area again. Close to Congaree NP and nice drive to historic Columbia.

The perfect landing place for a weekend at Congaree National Park

We had a fantastic stay at this cottage while visiting Congaree National Park. The home looked exactly as described—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up for a comfortable stay. The kitchen and living space made it easy to prepare meals before heading out for the day and provided a great spot to relax afterward. The host was a great communicator and readily available if needed. If we visit the park again, this is exactly where we would choose to stay! Highly recommend.

What a wonderful place to stay at when visiting Congaree National Park. You can tell the host is not just good at what they do, but truly passionate. It can be seen from house decorations and condition down to complimentary food items. Everyone enjoyed the outside bonfire with smores after a long day. There is a washer and dryer on site, but no dishwasher. Latter was the only downside, but not that big of a deal for us. Weather late November treated us to just perfect fall days before leaves fall out. I wouldn't think twice about staying here again. Thanks again for a great visit.
