Lovely home, cozy stay

The property itself was peaceful and beautiful with flowers and birds. The home was immaculate and very comfortable for our family of 4. Proximity to Congaree National Park couldn't be beat. Host was very responsive and welcoming. Probably best experience I have had with a home share!

Secluded Country Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay. We wish we could have spent more time on site enjoying the secluded setting with the flowering plants and singing birds. Would definitely come back if ever in the area again. Close to Congaree NP and nice drive to historic Columbia.

The perfect landing place for a weekend at Congaree National Park

We had a fantastic stay at this cottage while visiting Congaree National Park. The home looked exactly as described—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up for a comfortable stay. The kitchen and living space made it easy to prepare meals before heading out for the day and provided a great spot to relax afterward. The host was a great communicator and readily available if needed. If we visit the park again, this is exactly where we would choose to stay! Highly recommend.

What a wonderful place to stay at when visiting Congaree National Park. You can tell the host is not just good at what they do, but truly passionate. It can be seen from house decorations and condition down to complimentary food items. Everyone enjoyed the outside bonfire with smores after a long day. There is a washer and dryer on site, but no dishwasher. Latter was the only downside, but not that big of a deal for us. Weather late November treated us to just perfect fall days before leaves fall out. I wouldn't think twice about staying here again. Thanks again for a great visit.

Great Property and Hosts

Our stay was wonderful. Host were great. A hurricane came in from Florida causing storms our last day there. Property had a generator in case we lost power due to storm. Host kept in contact with us due to weather to make sure we were ok. Owners were very nice and we had a great stay. We also enjoyed the company of their cat Biscuit, who became a regular while we were there.

Cozy cottage in the woods

We really enjoyed our stay! We were in South Carolina to atrend our sons graduation from basic training at FT. Jackson. The place was clean, quiet, and had everything you needed to cook a meal. We loved that we could wash our clothes before we left! Overall a great place to stay!

Perfect Getaway

The cottage is well located to many attractions in the area most notably, Congaree NP which is a must see. We walked along the boardwalk trail and saw deer woodpeckers and even an owl, it was truly amazing. The property itself is as described with many small touches that make the whole stay that much better. The location allows you to relax during down time watching the birds from either the front or back porches and the fire pit makes for fun family nights by the fire. The hosts are very responsive. I had some questions both before and during our stay and the hosts were prompt and helpful each time. This is easily a place that we would book again.

Delightful cottage in a natural setting

This delightful cottage had everything needed for a restful stay. The kitchen was well stocked, the bath towels were ample and SOFT, and the furniture was comfortable. It was also convenient to Congaree National Park and Columbia. We were delighted to see a wide variety of birds (two of which are rare from where we come from). Every evening we sat on the porch and enjoyed the quiet of the property and the antics of the squirrels and birds at the birdfeeders and bird bath. We hope to come again real soon!

Wonderful Cottage

My husband and I met another couple at this cottage for a long weekend. The cottage was perfect for us. So many extra little touches made it feel like welcome guests instead of renters. Kitchen was well equipment to cook dinner. Host had lots of great suggestions for places to eat and recommended things to do. Cottage was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be coming back.

Peacefully Perfect

This little slice of Heaven is a bit off the beaten path, but it’s exactly what we needed! We wish we could have spent more time just taking it all in. This clean, beautifully decorated cottage is set on a property that reminds us we all need to just sit back and sit a spell. The welcoming porch has us doing that from night one. We’d can’t imagine how amazing this is once autumn makes its appearance. Debbie went above and beyond, including a sweet moment with my grandkids. They loved the animals that were just a short walk away. Thank you again for the lovely stay.

Lots of work went into remodeling and decorating this cottage. It was so unique, peaceful and relaxing. Close to Congaree National Park. A much better option than a hotel in Columbia.

Clean and serene

This is a great, relaxing property. It has lots of space inside. It is very clean! The beds are comfy, the showers are hot and the kitchen is stocked. It has 2 nice decks. The living room is tricky to figure out but I think most of those smart TVs are. It is a great place to stay for visiting Congaree National Park which was the purpose of our trip. It is 30 minutes from Columbia which we went to groceries first and for the zoo. The outside is a nice quiet oasis with good bird watching. There is room to play and a playground set if you have kids. This was by far the most homey welcome VRBO I have ever stayed.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Davis

John & Rusty are brothers and they grew up on the property. Both love the outdoors, hunting, fishing, building/remodeling and chatting with the guests.
Lynn & Debbie are friends as well as sister-in-laws and they put the finishing touches on what John and Rusty build. Both love new adventures and making our guests feel comfortable.

Why they chose this property

Cedar Creek Cottage is located on family land with a long history.. Nature is waiting for you right outside the door. It is not uncommon to see deer walking through the yard, and an array of birds on the feeders. It is a quick trip to Congaree National Park or Columbia to see all the capital city has to offer then come back and relax on the porch or by the fire pit and look at the stars.

What makes this property unique

Cedar Creek Cottage is fully stocked with everything you will need to be comfortable. Easy access and ample parking. There is a lot of history on the property and you are free to walk around and explore. We have chickens, goats and a miniature donkey; if you wish to visit with them just let Debbie know. We love our peaceful setting and hope you will as well.
