Camden Carriage House on the Polo Field

DeirdraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This quiet little piece of heaven was a quaint wonderfully decorated apartment. It has everything you need and the view was outstanding. I enjoyed sitting out on the deck watching the activity on the polo field. The neighbor's sweet cat came over and made friends. I was in town to judge a horse show and will request going forward to stay in this lovely apartment. Can't wait to come back and stay here again. Thank you, Pat S

We needed a place on short notice, and this property was luckily available. We’re so glad we chose this retreat. It has all the charm that old that made South Carolina famous. The sunset views are magnificent and it was restful and peaceful. So glad we had the chance to experience it.

Forest Acres Charm - Ft.J 5min, USC/DT 10 min.

JenniferRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Nice clean house. Rich was responsive and pleasant, even when we (honestly) accidentally stayed too long. (I know it sounds impossible, but I managed to do it.) Luckily, no one else was scheduled to stay the night we overstayed, and Rich was very flexible and understanding.

Hangar Lofts+ 912 ~ Walk to Stadium

JasonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This loft is dope......if you like the loft vibe this fits for you. The converted hanger allows for an industrial feel (metal staircase, wire lights, wire railings, spot lights etc etc. Joab has done a wonderful job of matching the decor with the building. The little patio area was a lovely touch....I've not seen that in a loft before. It was clean and tidy and comfortable. Joab was a great host, responsive, kind and welcoming. Someone had mentioned it being strange to go somewhere to check in and then go to your loft. Yes you do have to stop into their rental office (it's 100 yards from your loft). You show your id and they answer any questions for you. I was there for 4 minutes and then dove 100 yards to my loft. The neighborhood is a little run down, which if you've stayed in lofts before that is normal. That being said you're a 10/12 minute drive for the heat of downtown and 5 minute drive from 77, 5 stars. True to the pics / great host.

Cute little home with all you could need for a couple days. The Internet was fantastic for taking work video calls throughout the day and the neighborhood is really cute to walk around. Less than ten minutes to downtown. This is a great deal for the location and amenities provided. The host is a super nice guy if you have the pleasure of meeting him too.

Cozy 3 BR Bungalow Located in Downtown Columbia

ChristineRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Katie’s home was once again perfect! The location was super convenient for our son’s graduation from USC. Katie was responsive to all our questions, allowed us an earlier check in than we originally thought, and all instructions were clear. The house was very clean, with everything we needed for our stay. Thank you, Katie, for contributing to a fantastic grad weekend! If ever we’re back in Cola, we would love to stay again.

Gamecock Cottage @ Lake Murray-Waterfront w/ Dock

JosephRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We were looking for a short getaway to decompress a bit after youngest son's USC graduation events and then oldest son's wedding a week later. our stay at the Gamecock cottage took care of that. It was a relaxing time while at the cottage or on the boat we rented and docked there. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Most of our time there when not on the boat was spent just sitting on the deck.

Lakefront home on Lake Murray with private dock

Lovely place, very helpful/responsive hosts (Chris/Chrisi and Kim)beautiful and serene surroundings with easy 10 minutes access or less to Lexington and all its restaurants/shops. The home is older but key areas have been updated (kitchen and master bathroom). Our kids loved the double full bunk beds downstairs and the fire-pit was great for family time/smores. The dock was perfect for turtle/bird watching. Highly recommend!
