Our band stayed here. We are a multi-generational family and friend punk band. The space was perfect with plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed relaxing in a lakeside quiet space after a night of rocking out!

4.0 / 5.0
Quiet, secluded and spacious property. Could use a bit more cleanliness of white seating area, and upstairs shower but not a show stopper from overall enjoyment. Very responsive property managers.
3.0 / 5.0
My family and I were in town for the USC graduation. Convenience was the best thing about my stay. The neighborhood is not the best. The house is located down the street from a rough looking area.
The layout of the home was nice except of the fact that one of the rooms was made into a bedroom right in the entrance. You enter the front door walking through a bedroom to enter the rest of the house taking away the privacy of the guest in that area.
It is time for the exterminator to come out.
The back dock was a nice area but looking at the pond was not the best view. The home next to the pond has a lot of backyard items appearing very messy.
5.0 / 5.0
Due to renovations at my own home, I had to find a place that would accommodate my family. This place is very roomy and has many beds for multiple people. The only "bad" I could say about the property was that some tiles needed to be replaced and the listing says downtown when in actuality, it is not! Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much!
5.0 / 5.0
The communication from the property manager was great from beginning to end. Responses were quick. The check-in process was a breeze. The property was clean and just as described.
I will definitely rent again.

We were in Columbia to attend the graduation of my grandson. The house was a safe and comfortable place to sleep and store our things.
2.0 / 5.0
We got through it, but it wasn’t what they said it would be and I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t stay again. Have a nice evening.
4.0 / 5.0
This property was great for our large group. I suggested some repairs and upgrades for the kitchen and was assured they would be taken care of, so hopefully that’s the case for the next guests. If you need bedding for all 4 sofa beds, make sure you request it. We only had one set of sheets, 3 pillows and no blankets for those additional beds.
3.0 / 5.0
The property was not what was in the pictures and the hot tub was not working which we weren’t informed until a few days before we left for our trip. It was a little upsetting because of the money we spent. I mainly spent that money for the hot tub use. Overall the house worked for our family but just a little disappointing. The owners of the property was great but I am
Not sure they know that their cleaning company isn’t doing a very good job. The property manager only answered when they texted me but the owner
Of the property was very prompt with dealing with my issues. Would stay again as long as hot tub is working and in order.
