Family Thanksgiving 2024
We loved it all. My family and I enjoyed greatly our experience at The Knott’s house. Very clean, spacious, and cozy. Definitely felt like home, to the point that we extended our stay. Thank very much Brian and Rhonda for opening the doors to your lovely home. We will for sure be coming back.

Perfect location
The home is three bedroom and two bathrooms. Decorated really cute, with fenced in backyard and adorable patio lights. I enjoyed reading under the lights while my dog enjoyed the backyard. Home is four minutes from Riverwalk, where I walked my dog daily. I was able to enjoy tubing down the river and a visit to the art museum. This is a great location and central to all activities. I felt safe walking my dog in the neighborhood and nodding to other walkers. This has been a big hit for me.

Terrific property/Terrific host
This house is great. The beds and seating are very comfortable. The kitchen is nicely furnished. The backyard is inviting. It's well-suited for telework. The location is perfect, quiet and safe but close to shopping, restaurants, and attractions. The host went over and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable during the cold snap super stay. This was our second stay at the property but it won't be our last.

Great cottage!
We came to Columbia for parents weekend at UofSC. We were looking for something close to campus and this place was perfect. There was plenty of room for 4 adults. The floor plan is set up perfectly for some additional space between couples as the master suite is on one side of the house and 2 sizeable rooms on the other side house with their own full bathroom. The house was clean and comfortable. We didn't need to contact Brian, but he reached out to me multiple times to ensure everything was as we expected. And it was. We will be looking for this place the next time we're in Columbia!

The place was great and more than enough space for us. The Fenced in yard was prefect for our tiny dog. We are thinking of relocating to the Columbia area, and this was central to all areas we were looking into. Great neighborhood, great host, great property.

Nice Quiet Neighborhood
We stayed for 4 days while my wife had 3 days of classes at University of South Carolina. The house was clean, nice and seems newly remodeled. Has a fenced in backyard that helps when letting out your dogs since this is a dog friend house. Neighborhood was quite and about 2 miles from the University. We have to go back I two more times over the next year and this house will be our first choice when the school confirms those dates she needs to be there.

Riverwalk
The host did wonderful job in making everything pleasant and some great and helpful tips. My family went to the fair (first time in Columbia) and the Vista. They really enjoyed it! The downside was a neighbor who made some of us feel really uncomfortable by insinuating and overreacting about my family doing stuff that was not true. That almost ruined the experience. But we were determined not to let that spoil the beautiful weather and different events happening downtown. Overall, Ithe Knotts were excellent hosts and their home was very clean and nice! Would recommend to other visitors!

Clean, bright & hospitable, a lovely home away from home!
We booked last minute for three days in Columbia, and this was a truly wonderful stay for the whole family! The home is extremely well kept, clean and furnished impeccably, with a lot of thoughtful details from the refinishing/remodeling that was done to make it a unique space which is also comfortable and livable. Quiet & up-kept neighborhood is a straight shot to downtown and by the riverwalk & many restaurants/shops. The kitchen is well stocked for meal prep and the backyard is sweet. Rooms have light and a great tub & dedicated workspace w standing/sitting desk! Special thank you for the hosts for the basket of family games available, and excellent communication throughout! You can’t go wrong with this “Homerun on the River”!

We were in town for a family wedding and needed a place where the dogs would be comfortable also. This place is in a perfect location with a quiet neighborhood but close to everything we needed to get to. Plenty of room and extra parking for folks to join us for dinner. Can't recommend it enough.
