Awake refreshed and ready for a day exploring in the City of Columbia! This newly remodeled guest house overlooking the private Cary Lake is centrally located in the neighborhood of Arcadia Lakes. You will be within 10 minutes of downtown, USC, and Fort Jackson. You’ll be close to everything in the capital, but far enough to enjoy a relaxing trip. Cook in your own kitchen, clean up in the remodeled bathroom, and sink into the soft bed after seeing the city. Enjoy staying in our private guest house. Myself, my husband, our 3 year old, newborn baby, and our 8 year old dog live on the property, but are committed to providing our guests their privacy. Our dog remains in the main house and comes outside mainly in the morning and at night. He does not go in or near the guesthouse. Relax and find comfort in the park like setting that is our backyard. There is a private lake located at the back of the property. Fishing and swimming are permitted but please be aware that we are located on the shallow end of the lake. If you find yourself admiring the view from the dock, please be aware that it is in need of repair, but it is safe to stand on. Also, we ask that guests do not use the fire pit or grill located in the courtyard at this 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.*** We are available for questions by phone or text message. We are located in Arcadia Lakes. We are in the Forest Acres area and located less than 5 minutes from Forest drive and about 10 minutes from Fort Jackson and Downtown. We are less than five minutes from several grocery stores (Food Lion, Publix, Fresh Food Market, Lowe’s, and Trader Joe’s). There are several fast food restaurants near by ( Burger King, Chick-fil-A, Bojangles, Five Guys, etc.) There are several sit down restaurants and a multitude of places to shop!
