It was the perfect space to get away but be close enough to the city of Columbia. Everything was easy, and the property and home was clean and well taken care of. It felt as though it was truly a home away from home. The backyard and beautiful view were a perfect addition to our time there as well! Would stay here again! ##### Krissy C.
