Host was communicative and made us aware of events happening at the property. This is a 2 1-2 bathroom property, not a 3 bathroom property

We have stayed at this property several times and are always pleased. Comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen if needed and beautiful property. I grew up in Aiken and when we return for family gatherings this property is perfect for us!

Set in the pretty Aiken countryside. Lovely stay
Very pleasant and enjoyed the house and property. Thank you ! Both porches needed sweeping and furniture wiping as we had our little grands outside- but the house, yard and host were delightful.

Wonderful property with a great location
Kena and Chris have a beautiful property. Plenty of room to walk around. The house is spacious with a great front porch for morning coffee and a great screened in porch for dinner. Beds are all comfortable, plenty of towels, incredibly good A/C (can freeze you out) which is good for the hot days of summer. Their response time was really quick. And they made it really easy for checking in and answering any questions. The location is outside of town but not far and relatively close to wherever you need to go in Aiken. We will definitely be back to this house.

Perfect Quiet Retreat
While in Aiken for a family wedding we were lucky enough to find this property - nestled in a quiet nook on the property of a large old equestrian farm. To sum it up - Host was amazing, property was clean and private, comfy beds and pillows, great bathroom spaces with good lighting for makeup application, nice kitchen … basically perfect for a family with space to stretch out and not be on top of each other. Looking to book again for the holidays!

Easy Check-In, Fantastic Location, Pet Friendly
Wonderful quiet stay, has a country feel to it with huge yard, horse farm, but 6 minutes from shops and restaurants. My dogs enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels from the screened porch. There is also a fenced yard as shown in pictures.
The mattresses were comfortable, the bathrooms had some toiletries available if needed, and all linens were provided. It’s not real fancy inside, so if you’re expecting luxurious decor this isn’t for you, but everything was in working order, clean, and practical. The yard was mowed and maintained. We enjoyed our brief visit to attend a family reunion, but plan to come back again to explore historic Aiken. Thank you to the hosts.
We would not hesitate to rent this house again.

Super Convenient
We just moved to Aiken after selling our home in NC. We needed a place to stay with our dogs and a few boxes that we had with us until our home purchase in Aiken was completed. House has a GREAT, convenient location. Layout is spacious and comfortable with master on main and two bedrooms upstairs. Well stocked kitchen, bathrooms, etc. Large, fenced in yard was a wonderful added bonus for our furbabies.
Thanks for a great stay!

We were treated to free wood for the fireplace which made our meeting with local relatives a fun time. The location is close to the city businesses but isolated on a large property which made our dog very happy. The owner took the time to visit with us and was very nice in every respect. We would recommend this pet and people friendly place to anyone.

Secluded location
House was secluded in Aiken. At night it was difficult to find the narrow driveway. The house is sparsely furnished, example, no chair to sit on in bedrooms. Furniture was quite old, house did not smell fresh. The lighting was very bad. All of the fixture lights were very bright white light spotlights, which were too bright to have on, but if turned off the house was dark. the string of spotlights strung across the living room turned on and off by themselves, we had to unplug it. Only one TV in the house and it was small and difficult to watch from the seating locations.

We rented this property for our sons wedding weekend. The property, for us, was in a great location. A short ride downtown but also far enough out of town for some privacy. The house was well stocked, kitchen , linens, towels etc.It wasnt a big deal to us, but it wasnt quite the "horse farm" as implied. But, overall if you dont mind a short ride downtown I would recommend renting this property.
