LAKE FRONT GUESTHOUSE

Enjoy your stay in Columbia in this cozy guest house overlooking Cary Lake! It is centrally located in Arcadia Lakes, 10 minutes from downtown, USC, and Fort Jackson. You’ll be close to everything in the capital, but far enough to enjoy a relaxing trip. Awake refreshed and ready for a day exploring the city via this clean, sunshine filled home with an impressive view. Cook in your own kitchen, clean up in the remodeled bathroom, and sink into the soft bed after seeing the city.

*****Please be aware that the fire place is not up to code for use at this present time******
. ***PLEASE KNOW THAT THE HOA FOR THE LAKE DRAINS THE LAKE A FEW TIMES DURING THE FALL/WINTER TO CONTROL VEGETATION AND POLLUTION. THE LAKE RESEMBLES A MARSH DURING THOSE TIMES.***

Fort Jackson graduation stay
We wanted a restful place close to Fort Jackson for my son's graduation and this was perfect. It was at most 15 minutes away and a perfect place to come back to with our other adult son to relax after busy days. Our hosts gave us our space but were easily accessible.

Perfect place to stay for Fort Jackson Family Day/Graduation
My kids and I stayed here for about 5 days for my daughter’s family day and graduation from BCT. The location is great - so close to Gate 2. Easy to drive around and find all amenities we needed. The house was great for us - beds super comfy, great shower and lovely view of the lake. Thank you for having us!

Peaceful retreat!
Peaceful back porch overlooking the lake. Enjoyed watching the turtles and water birds and listening to squirrels forage in the wooded area around the house. Bed was very comfortable and even inclines if you need it. Bathroom shower is enormous and luxurious! And the sofa.... I wanted to bring it home with me! Absolutely huge and comfy and perfect for vegging out. I did take a star off for cleanliness, but not bc it necessarily felt dirty. The floors were clean, surfaces, bathroom, etc. But it does need a good deep cleaning around baseboards, walls, windows, back porch chair cushions, etc. Owners brought flowers and beverages bc it was our anniversary trip. I would definitely book again. It's a gem!

Perfect Location
This is the perfect location for us to stay while in town for our sons basic training graduation from Fort Jackson. It was close to the base and the perfect place for him to return to after graduation. The comfortable beds, screened in porch that overlooked the lake and the luxurious shower was exactly what he needed after 10 weeks at basic training. The kitchen was big and I was able to make him a home cooked meal. The owner was friendly and accommodating. We had a great long weekend stay.

Great for a quick 2 night stay. good location central to most things. The property could use some upgrades but overall was very happy and would easily consider staying again. Appreciate the labeling on the switches as there were so many it would have been impossible to understand without the labels

Gate house
Location to downtown Columbia is excellent, lots of nearby stores. Loved the screened in back porch. Kitchen could use an upgrade. Walk way to front door is in need of leveling but not impassable. Very quiet and laid back place to safe.
