Set in the pretty Aiken countryside. Lovely stay
Very pleasant and enjoyed the house and property. Thank you ! Both porches needed sweeping and furniture wiping as we had our little grands outside- but the house, yard and host were delightful.

Wonderful property with a great location
Kena and Chris have a beautiful property. Plenty of room to walk around. The house is spacious with a great front porch for morning coffee and a great screened in porch for dinner. Beds are all comfortable, plenty of towels, incredibly good A/C (can freeze you out) which is good for the hot days of summer. Their response time was really quick. And they made it really easy for checking in and answering any questions. The location is outside of town but not far and relatively close to wherever you need to go in Aiken. We will definitely be back to this house.

Perfect Quiet Retreat
While in Aiken for a family wedding we were lucky enough to find this property - nestled in a quiet nook on the property of a large old equestrian farm. To sum it up - Host was amazing, property was clean and private, comfy beds and pillows, great bathroom spaces with good lighting for makeup application, nice kitchen … basically perfect for a family with space to stretch out and not be on top of each other. Looking to book again for the holidays!
