Beautiful Place
My family and I went for my sons BT Graduation at Fort Jackson. It was very close, only 15-20 minutes away. The place was just as pictured on the website. It was very lovely and cozy, but also very clean. The host was always super quick to respond to my messages. I would definitely recommend staying there.

My family has a lovely stay in the Alchemist unit. We stayed for my daughter’s graduation from boot camp. It was close to base. The place was exactly as described, well furnished, comfortable beds, and very clean! I would highly recommend booking this place to other guests.

Fantastic stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this really cool remodeled church. The location is super convenient. The apartment has everything you need including comfortable beds and a well appointed kitchen. This is definitely one of the most modern and updated properties I’ve stayed in Columbia. We will definitely be back!
