KurtRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We booked this place to visit the Fireflies in Congaree National Park, and had a great time. The location was very walkable to the city and not too far from the park. There was lots to do around, including some great Cafes and restaurants. The unit itself was perfect for a few nights as a home base. One note is if you are sensitive to light at night you may want to bring a sleep mask since there are no blackout curtains. Certainly recommended!
