Comfortable stay in the woods

Our stay at Woodland Gardens was great! We enjoyed our morning coffee and dinner each day out on the porch to enjoy the warm weather. Very close to Congaree National Park and about a 30 min a drive in to Columbia where there are a ton of restaurants and more grocery stores to pick from. Tira was a good communicator and available for questions. Check in/check out was really easy as well. Would stay here again.

Southern Hospitality!

Very clean and easy process. Properly has other rentals but overall it is a very welcoming and homey feel. Was well stocked and comfortable. 12 min drive to the visitor center at Congaree National Park.

Sketchy

I would not have rented this home for our weekend away without the kids had I known the owner lives onsite, in the rental when it is not occupied and in a camper when it is. May want to update listing accordingly. The bed was torture, so uncomfortable. The one functioning window unit was far from sufficient, hot even in October. Thank goodness it wasn't a Summer trip. The owners kids (I suppose) were hanging out randomly on the lower level and had a party our last night which kept me awake most of the night... not that I could sleep anyway due to the lumpy bed and lack of airflow. $850 for 3 nights of torture... yikes!

Such a Cool Spot!

We loved our stay. The home really feels like a home. It's cozy, welcoming, and inviting. It had everything we needed, towels, toiletries, a fully stocked kitchen, and gorgeous spaces for relaxing. The outdoor spaces were our favorites and there are several options to choose from. The covered area downstairs was great for evening meals and unwinding. The upstairs deck was nice and quiet, and right off the living room. The property is nice and level, parking was easy. The owners were very respectful and available, and also gave us plenty of privacy. We loved the proximity to Congaree National Park. We brought kayaks and canoes on a trailer, and the owners gave us the perfect spot to park it. We were there over Memorial Day and the bugs weren't bad. We brought bug repellant and a big fan to keep the mosquitos away and it worked great. What an amazing trip! We had this beautifully decorated home to stay in, we got to visit the park, hikes some trails, paddle Cedar Creek, and enjoy family time together.

The little home was wonderful and it was so well decorated and cute. The hosts are very accommodating. However, it was quite a ways to find something to eat and we did go there to be able to hike in the park. Unfortunately mother nature brought us rain for the 3 days we were there so we weren't able to do much. It is very cozy and if we get an opportunity to come that way I would definitely stay again.

Wooded wonderland!!

So many places to relax, the upstairs deck, the downstairs couches and tables with the cool breeze blowing through the billowing white curtains. Nice place for an event, small wedding, shower or birthday party! Just beautiful!!

Cute Woodland Garden House

We chose this property due to its proximity to Congaree, but knew we wanted to go into Columbia too. It was nicely located. It was comfortable and had all the things we needed. It did not have soap or shampoo in the shower, but I did forget to mention that to the host so no big deal. I liked the shared patio space downstairs, very inviting. We spent both mornings on the patio (either upstairs or down) and most evenings out there too while our kids roamed around outside and did messy kid things. My kids cried when we had to leave. We would stay here again.

Close to Congaree

Great location to explore the national park. Only 4 miles from visitor center. Very quiet and tucked back in woods. Bring groceries with you along the way because there isn’t a close store.

Don't pass this place up!

Tira made our stay so memorable! We arrived late at night, her decorations for Halloween were stunning! We spent the first hour just taking in all the decorations she obviously spent days planning! I'm sure this place would be great at other times of the year, but OMG, at Halloween, you could not find a better place to stay. I just wish we could have stayed more than one night!!!!

We enjoyed our stay in the Treehouse! The decor was amazing. Stayed here for close distance to Columbia and Congaree. The breakfast was delicious and everyone was friendly. Loved spending time on the deck.

Great location for Congaree National Park

The house was only 3 miles from Congaree National Park which was ideal. We had a pleasant and relaxing visit. The only drawback was the performance of the air conditioner. We were lucky it was cool at night and there were fans in the rooms. Our dog enjoyed playing with the owner’s dog.

The most interesting place we ever stayed!

Very cozy and artistic. The owner created the impression that s/he was coming back home soon to pick up his/her peaceful life any day...EXCEPT. S/he would have quite a chore to get the Gathering Place ready for use! Everything was covered with a grimy layer of grit. If it's not intended for used by guests, it should be advertised as such or at least signed at the location. Serenity and peace to all.
