Stefania was very helpful with everything we needed. Her place comes with everything you could imagine from food seasonings to toiletries to even dog crates. We asked for local recommendations and she was very quick to respond! Will definitely recommend her place to friends.

This house was the perfect location for a girl's night to reconnect. The house is very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed sitting on the back porch and looking at the lake while we had a few drinks and talked. The beds were very comfortable and it was a peaceful and quiet get away!

Excellent location for amazing hiking nearby! Our dog loved the relaxing place and so did we. They have truly thought of everything from amenities to comfort. It was a perfect home to have as a base for all excursions the area has to offer!

This is my second time staying at Stefania's place. That is a rarity for my wife and I. We usually try different places. Stefania's place was so welcoming that we had to come back. Her place was very clean and had all of the amenities. Easy check in. Easy instructions to follow and very thorough. Bedding was comfortable. EV charging was a breeze. This is a home away from home. I recommend this place for anyone that is looking for a peaceful get-a-away. Thank you Stefania for being a wonderful host!

We absolutely loved our time at Stefanie’s home. We were in Clemson to visit our daughter and feel we’ve found a perfect future place to stay whenever possible. We were blown away by the attention to detail in everything, from accommodations to decorating. Stefania and her husband were responsive, accommodating, flexible and welcoming. We brought our dog with this trip and Stefania’s place is just perfect for a pet and has everything for them you’d need. Neighborhood was quiet and friendly. We took walks to marina area every morning and evening for exercise and it’s just beautiful. We’ll be back often.

We had a great stay! Stefania was a wonderful host and her place was exactly as described. The area was beautiful and was within driving distance of many trails and state parks as well as other towns. Would love to return one day!

This was by far our FAVORITE air bnb we’ve ever stayed in. As a mom, we need to travel with so much extra stuff and Stefanias place made it easy for us just to pack and go and leave all the “extras” behind. She had absolutely everything we could think of for our kids and fur baby. She was so attentive to our needs and responded so quickly! The home is beautiful, clean..everything I can hope for! We are so excited to come back & visit during the summer months!
