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.***

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!

Vacation
Upon arriving bing the outside of the house looked a little run down. There are vines growing on it and some cover parts of the windows. The inside of the house is pretty nice. Beautiful hardwood floors. I have stayed in many air b and b’s. This one was not at the same standard as others. The kitchen had bear minimum utensils, the frying pan and other pots and pans looked like they were from the 1980’s. The frying pan had s scratched and needs replaced. There were no storage containers, no plastic wrap, or aluminum foil. The salt was like a rock. There was 1 towel in the kitchen. I finally found others in a hall closet. Beds were nice and comfortable. Screened in deck was nice but had cob webs all over it. It looked run down also. The lights in the bathroom were taped off and you could not use them. You had to walk clear over to the other side of the bathroom to turn lights on. With some real maintenance and cleaning up and better stocked this could be a really nice place. I don’t think we will be back.

False advertisement/unsafe
The property is under construction not newly renovated as it says in the header. There are nails raised up on the patio and on the railing that created a safety issue. The hot water heater is a half size and it not intended for a 2 bedroom so you only can take a10-15 min shower with 3 heads(only use 1) that drain outside the shower all over the floor. There is mold, yes mold and that causes a safety to your lungs. Roaches. There is water damage all over the place including the kitchen, black on the ceilings. The wooden floor is a trip hazard in the kitchen without even a rug to try to cover it. The chairs at the dining room table are cheaper than what Walmart carries and wobbly to the point my husband fell when sitting down. There is zero acess to the lake as they have extreme over grown vegetation. As you should be able to use the lake per there add @ the time we stayed, we could not. The bedroom towards the front is another safety issue as you have inches to get into the bed next to the wall. The beds do not fit the frames so trip hazard as well as bruising area. Holes in the closets. The door in the kitchen fell onto of my foot while cleaning the dishes so my husband had to repair it himself as the owners had zero contact with us the entire trip. Once they got their money they were done with communication period as even vrbo could not get ahold of them to put us up somewhere else, we had to sleep in the car after finding mold. Theres far more but no more room.

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.

Beautiful lake house
We were in Columbia to celebrate graduation from Army basic training. This house was perfect! It is minutes from Fort Jackson, which made the early mornings easy. Our soldier was only allowed a few hours off base and requested a home cooked meal, everything we needed was provided in the kitchen. The views of the lake are breathtaking, the grounds are beautiful. We had a very relaxing time. The pictures are accurate. The host was very quick to respond to our questions. Check in and check out was very easy. If I’m ever back in Columbia, I will definitely stay here again.

Disappointed
Disappointed! I reserved this for my mature parents. Unfortunately, they found the guesthouse to smell moldy. The owner did say it was in process of renovating but this smell was a health hazard for my mother with COPD. The fact that the dock was being repaired was mentioned, but the property was so overgrown that they could not see lake even if dock had been there. My parents felt that the owner may have rushed renting this rental.

A Perfect Place to Rest, Relax, and Respite!
I've never booked a VRBO myself before ans knew that this would need to be a good experience because I was essentially looking for a one month rental while I recovered from surgery. I connected with Danielle right away and felt reassured and safe! The property is central to shopping, restaurants, and even the hospital where I was having surgery. The VRBO was tidy and well stocked with everything I needed for a get away or in my case a extended stay. The furniture was comfortable and in great condition, the views off the back deck were incredibly relaxing, and the size of the space (not to mention that big shower) were definitely memorable! For someone having surgery, the added bonus of a remote controlled bed really added points! Danielle and Mansa were courteous and respectful since we shared the property and were quick to answer messages! I'm already planning to go back, but this time for a true vacation!!! Thank you!!!!

Loved the view from the screened porch. Very clean. Very comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Very easy to get into the house. Very private. Highly recommend!!! We had a hard time working the thermostat. Really needs replaced. The bathroom door was not secure at the bottom so the guest in the front room could see into the bathroom. We secured it by putting a suitcase in front of it.
