About this property

5 mins to Fort Jackson - The Wooded Hilltop Ranch

Summary:
This charming 3 bedroom ranch on top of a hill is in a quiet neighborhood and features a back yard with awning and patio, perfect for fellowshipping with family. The original hardwood floors, spacious bedrooms, updated bathrooms, and cozy living room make a perfect family atmosphere. Pets welcome. Fully equipped kitchen, grill, 50" TV, WiFiLess than 5 min to Ft. Jackson and 15 minutes to Williams Brice and downtown! Perfect for military graduations or USC game day. NO PARTIES!

The Space:
Guests will enter through the front door using a digital keypad. Once inside, you will find four bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The first bedroom has a queen bed and a full bed, the second a king bed, and the third a full bed. An additional sleep space with a full bed is off the kitchen. Please note this space does not have a door- it does have a curtain for privacy. The kitchen is fully equipped.

Guest Access:
Guests have full access of the home.

The Neighborhood:
This quite residential neighborhood is only a stones throw from Fort Jackson and right off I-77, which make it super convenient for both military graduations and USC/Five Points/Columbia downtown.

It is a well established neighborhood surrounded by lakes and heavily wooded, which makes for a very relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. We respect our neighbors, so we have a very strict policy of NO PARTIES or loud outdoor noise. If you are looking to spend time with family, this is a great place! If you are looking to throw a large party, this is NOT the place for you.

Getting Around:
Definitely recommend to have a car or plan to take uber/lyft/cab.

Other Things to Note:
We require a signed rental agreement and for guest to be 25 years of age to book.

If you notify us of your intent to cancel prior to the lapse of the free cancellation period, we will return 97% of your payment. The other 3% will already have been collected by the credit card processing company, and we have no way to return that portion of the payment.

We do NOT allow any parties or loud outdoor noise that would disturb our neighbors.

We are a pet friendly home. Pets must be crated when they are left unattended in the home. We do not allow pets on furniture or beds, and all waste must be cleaned up from the yard. All pets require a non-refundable pet fee. If there is evidence of pet hair on the furniture, excess hair in the home, stains, or waste found in the yard or home, you will be charged the cost to clean this. In the event that a security deposit is collected, we will retain all or part of the security deposit to cover any costs associated with additional cleaning due to pets.

Interaction with Guests:
We have automated check-in so that you can come and go at your leisure with maximum privacy and security. That said, we are always available if you need to call or message us on the app.

Great location

The location of this property is wonderful. The end of a dead end road in a lovely quiet neighborhood. The fourth bedroom does not have doors, rather it has curtains hanging in the doorway. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

Great for family BCT Graduation

Great place for family to stay for Fort Jackson BCT Graduation. Older home but enough beds for our group of 10 to sleep! Only recommendation is needs more seating in the family/tv room - we moved chairs from the dining area. Very responsive mgmt when we needed a coffee maker!!

Perfect place to gater for Graduation

The house was more spacious than I expected. It is a older home that has a little rough remodeling and needs a little more love. It has sufficient seating for gatherings. A second couch was added to living room. Between the dining area and the living room we had room to gather and chat. The back yard is perfect for supervised dogs. It is not anything fancy but comfortable and perfect for a quick visit for Army basic graduation. Very close to Fort Jackson. Good parking space! Perfect for family coming from different areas to stay.

The photos are not representative of what you actually get. It was dirty, unsanitary and stains on pillows bed sheets and carpet it was repulsive. No comforts of staying in a home. Nothing is updated and backyard was unkept and dirty. I took photos and reached out to the owner and no response DO NOT STAY HERE

Patriot Family Homes is not a company you want to deal with

This is not the home we stayed in. Patriot Family Homes said this home that we originally booked was full of mold and we could not stay there. So they moved us to another of their rentals. I would say that Patriot Family Homes should be embarrassed to have these homes in their portfolio, but after reading online comments it seems they are all just worn out and junky. The home we stayed in had walls that were half painted, some walls horribly painted, a caulk job around the tub that looked like a 10 year old did it, stained carpets, torn carpets, stained furniture, just plain tired. If you see that Patriot Family Homes is the host, you should run away.

Great house

This house was big enough to accommodate 8 people and was only 5 minutes from Fort Jackson. My only issue was they are lacking in towels. When I texted the property manager that we needed more towels she was quick to respond and we had more towels the next day. Overall a very enjoyable experience for our family to gather for our soldiers graduation.

Military Graduation Stay

We loved our stay at this property. Seven of us stayed here in early October for my sister in laws graduation from Ft Jackson. It was very nice, clean, and in a quiet neighborhood. Getting ahold of the property owners was very easy and they were quick to respond. Check in was very easy and convenient. All but one item listed was included in stay (it was missing a hair dryer). It was close to stores, restraunt, and the interstate. We loved that we could have our pets with us, as there was no one back home who could watch them. We would consider this property again in the event that we would need to travel to the Columbia area. The only down side is seating if you have a larger group. We made it work but some would have to sit on the 2 smalle couches and others had to sit at dining room table. Thank you again for letting us stay here and being able to be there for my sister in law!
