We stayed at this cozy cottage for one night during a bike race. Everything was perfect! Hots was amazing and allowed us to have an early check-in and return to pick up items that we forgot :) 5/5 stars!
We had a graduation at fort Jackson and it was a short easy drive from there. The rental had every thing we needed. It was our first time ever renting and the owner was very helpful. The cottage is comfortable and homey.
We stayed here for our daughter’s graduation from basic training, and when we brought her to see it, she said, “It’s the first time in months that I’ve been in a place that feels like I’m actually home.” Indeed, it’s adorable and comfortable. The owner was also exceptionally accommodating and kind.
Loved this little cottage that is exactly as advertised! My mom and I were attending my son's graduation at Fort Jackson, which is so simple to get to from the cottage. We loved looking at the owner's vast collection of books. It was obvious that she takes pride in this lovely home. The neighborhood is adorable. I only wish we had more time to explore it. I would absolutely return!
We came for our daughter’s 21st birthday, she is a student at USC. Cottage is cute, lots of trinkets in house. Mattresses were a little uncomfortable.
Great location and nice neighborhood
This was another enjoyable and pleasant stay at this property. The owner is very attentive and responsive and the property was well maintained as usual.
The home decor, cleanliness, privacy and serenity was delightful. My daughter immediately felt right at home and we were able to rest so well at night. I will definitely book this cottage again the next time I am visiting the area.
Would highly recommend anyone who's looking for a "Home away from Home" atmosphere to consider this cozy Cottage. My family and I were in the area for a military graduation and it provided us with our own space to chill for a few hours before he had to return to Base.
High Five!!!!!

Worth only half the price
The cottage was ok to stay in. However it should have been about half the cost. The bathroom was really unacceptable. Don't trust the pictures. The toilet and sink almost touch each other. The cottage smelled musty. The kitchen was under equipped and most of the cookware that we took out to cook with was dirty. We had to go out and buy a scrubby as owner did not provide.
The owner should consider lowering their nightly rate to about 1/2 the price.
