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.***

It was the perfect little get away. We were in town for my daughter’s army graduation. After the stress and chaos of the day, we were able to relax and watch geese on the lake and fireflies in the back yard. The best park was the shower. I’ll miss that shower!

Wonderful stay

The stay was nice. Two nice bedrooms with comfortable Californian king beds. The Shower was huge, love the rainfall style shower. Very clean, my stay was at the beginning of spring so the pollen was very high and covered my car. A little landscaping around the house would make the place perfect, but I would definitely recommend and return.

Visit to a grandson.

This is a very comfortable house with a great view. A rustic cottage in the middle of the city. It was very close to my son's house. Amenities were available but a few miles away. I'd stay there again.

Fort Jackson graduation stay

We wanted a restful place close to Fort Jackson for my son's graduation and this was perfect. It was at most 15 minutes away and a perfect place to come back to with our other adult son to relax after busy days. Our hosts gave us our space but were easily accessible.

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!

Army Graduation

We enjoyed looking at the lake every chance we could ( we are water people ). Although we arrived much later than we had expected. While I went to my son’s graduation at fort Jackson, my husband and mother in law stayed until I was able to return. I feel their only thing was not being able to watch local news. My time Wednesday and Thursday was all about my son. Very close to where I needed to be at 7:30am.

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.

Great views and location

Great for a quick 2 night stay. good location central to most things. The property could use some upgrades but overall was very happy and would easily consider staying again. Appreciate the labeling on the switches as there were so many it would have been impossible to understand without the labels
