About this property

Kayaks, koi, fishing, and more! Gorgeous guest house near Charleston!

This home is located in a small community in the middle of the Francis Marion Forest. Enjoy the quiet of this forest community while still being close to shopping (20 min.), Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island Beaches (30 min.), and the heart of downtown Charleston (33 min.). This home was completely remodeled and furnished with 100% new furnishings in 2017. In addition to the 1200 sq. ft. of living space this house has a 750 sq. ft. furnished screened in porch that runs the entire length of the house. The house includes tiled baths, hardwood floors throughout, a gas fireplace, and a granite counter top office station equipped with a full size computer monitor, wireless keyboard/mouse and printer. The owners live at the back of this 8 acre property and invite tenants to feed the large domestic and Japanese koi that reside in a large pond at the back of the property... not to mention the pond is also full of large mouth bass and sunfish. Tenants are welcome to fish in this pond at any time using the bait and tackle the owners have available at the property. The tenants also have access to 3 kayaks (2 touring Folbots and 1 double) that can be used on the nearby Quinby creek (5 miles North) and/or the Wando River (5 miles South) of the property. In addition, two bikes along with a car bike carrier are available. The bikes can be used to ride anywhere in the Lowcountry... the trails of the Forest, streets of historic Charleston, and/or the beach communities of Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island and Folly Beach. The owners have a bamboo fence enclosed private swimming pool that can be used by the tenants during there stay.
The pool is not heated; therefore, it is only open between May 1st and September 30th each year. This home also has a small deck off the screened-in porch that can be used to sit and relax, grill out on the gas grill or enjoy a real fire in the fire pit (wood is furnished by the owner). Last but not least, the owners own a boat (Bayliner Element xr7) that they launch on the Wando River 5 miles from the guest house. If tenants are staying on a Saturday or Sunday evening, owners may be able to take them on a sunset cruise. If a sunset cruise is of interest, guests are encouraged to let owners know as soon as possible. Owners enjoy taking guests on the water; however, cannot always guarantee availability due to personal schedules and bad weather.
Features at this guesthouse include an outdoor pool and a water park.
  • Free WiFi
  • Splash around at the water park or swim in the outdoor pool
  • Onsite recreation includes a playground
  • 11.9 mi (19.1 km) from Dunes West Golf and River Club and 13.2 mi (21.3 km) from Blackbeard's Cove Family Fun Park
This guesthouse offers its guests a water park and an outdoor pool. The family-friendly guesthouse also features barbecue grills and a garden.

Great Property!
The house was nestled on a gorgeous 8 acre property, with all the space for kiddos to run and play. It was perfect distance for our baseball tournament at Shipyard (about 10-15 min) and not too far from the beach, shops and restaurants.

Lovely House and Amazing Hosts
The house was wonderful and so clean. The hosts were the best, and responded to our questions quickly. Upon arrival, our girls LOVED the welcome package (they found the candy), and the waters were nice since we hadn't made it to the store. The living room was so comfortable and perfect for our family. Our girls felt very grown up in their room, with the TV and their own sitting area. The beds were very comfortable, and the bedding was beautiful. The pool on property was so convenient for us. We will definitely be back!

Dans la Foret Guest House is a Gem!!!
There is a reason why this property is highly rated and beloved. The hosts are communicative, attentive and kind. Our family enjoyed how clean and comfortable the house is. We especially loved the large recliner in the family room and the screened in porch is fabulous!!!! We spent hours hanging out on the porch. Outside you have your pick of activities, such as swimming, fishing, barbecuing, playing a game of soccer in the grass, etc. The wild life is gorgeous, with lizards darting around, tiny green frogs hopping about and the many different types of birds, including a wonderful gaggle of geese. The peace, quiet and beauty is just what our family needed. We also enjoyed being close to the beach, Charleston and so much delicious bbq!! We look forward to returning to Dans la Foret Guest House.

Just a dream.
By far, the cleanest and most pleasantly designed VRBO we've ever experienced! Brenda and Wanda are amazing hostesses. A lovely welcome bag made us smile. The cottage is compact but has every single amenity needed. The kitchen was unbelievably well-stocked. The hugemongous screen porch was a fantastic place to gather at night to listen and watch the property go to darkness each evening. Just a pleasure from start to finish.

Beautiful property
The property is gorgeous and the house was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly want. The bed was very comfortable. The grill did not work well when we were there, but the owners tell us they’re going to go buy a new one today. Apparently an otter ate all but one koi. We were not able to fish because the female swan was sitting on a nest, and the male swan was guarding it. The guest bathroom bathtub was so slippery that someone in our party fell. The owners also said they were going to rectify this. Overall, I would highly recommend.

Peaceful place to stay near Charleston
My family and I stayed here for my son’s baseball team’s tournament at Shipyard Park. It’s an easy 10 minute drive from the house to the park with no traffic. The house is updated nicely and all towels, linens and toiletries are provided. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.

A Visit to Charleston
Our stay was everything we had hoped it would be. The home is beautiful, the property is lovely, and it's only a short commute to Charleston. The thoughtfulness of the hosts was evident everywhere we looked--from the gift bag that greeted us, to the games, books, dog treats, K-Cups, first aid kit, etc. that outfitted the home, their desire to make our visit memorable was clear everywhere we looked. It's certainly a home we will highly recommend, and utilize again the next time we visit.

This is the second time I have stayed here in a year. I came to recover from surgery. The house is comfortable, I could get around with no problems. The master bedroom has doors opening to porch so coffee and morning sounds start the day. Perfect location, everything you need is close. I do love it here and so does the pup.

We’ve stayed at this location several times. The host is very friendly and an excellent communicator.
