Cozy for Christmas & Old Man Winter
We brought in our own simple Charlie Brown Christmas tree & trimmings & had a delightful family dinner. Old man winter had some very low temps so we hunkered in with the fireplace & lots of hot cocoa & soups . The house was cozy & toasty warm .

Excellent spot in Aiken!
Perfect place for a weekend in Aiken! Super clean and well appointed with brand new linens/lots of towels. Plenty of smart design touches. Big modern kitchen/great room with a large comfortable table for family meals. Fire pit and covered outdoor porch. A proper office that could be used for remote work or school. Even has a record player with a bunch of vinyl and an acoustic guitar. Minutes from the shops and cafes of downtown but also very peaceful and quiet. The hosts were very quick to communicate. Easy in and out. Not one single problem. Would 100% return.
