Cottage tree house

Cottage close to Congaree

Cute and cozy cottage, eclectic boho style decor is nicely done. The setting is quiet and the view from the porch is pretty and peaceful. The close location to Congaree National Park is perfect! The kitchen is well stocked, the tv streaming services and wifi worked well as did the air conditioning and fans. In my opinion the beds could be updated- the bunk bed was shaky, the mattress sunk in the middle and the bed linens seemed old. There is a friendly cat on the property that followed us inside and was happy to stay with us. There is a pet door for him to go in and out. Not a problem for us but fyi if you’re sensitive to cat hair. Overall there were no problems and we would stay there again. I love the hipcamp option when traveling!

Cute cottage with some caveats

We had mixed feelings on this stay. First, the good parts. The cottage itself was cute, though there are some maintenance-type issues that should be corrected, such as broken tiles in the shower. This didn't detract much from the stay. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking, which we did a lot of, and that was appreciated. There is very easy access to Congaree as the listing states, and it's a quick trip into Columbia. The downside: The setting was not as private as we had expected. The listing states, "The property is very private and off the beaten path of everyday life." That said, the hosts/owners of the property are adjacent to the cottage and were around most of our stay, using the first floor of the cottage. Upon arrival we found out the first floor is actually a shared space, which is not indicated in the listing. We anticipated having the entire property to ourselves, which was not the case. We were also asked to avoid walking around certain parts of the property. The "master" bedroom has poor ventilation, and utilizes a noisy AC unit for cooling, this made it really difficult to sleep for my wife. The beds need some attention, as none have box-springs. This was a no-go for me, as I have a bad back; I ended up sleeping on the couch the whole stay as a result. Lastly, it's a bit smaller than we expected--I'd guess the second floor is around 600sf. Just for awareness, no dishwasher or washer/dryer are available.
