    This home was absolutely beautiful - clean and newly decorated - and we were very comfortable during our 3night stay. However the check in process was challenging. The front gate was not prepared for our arrival and we spent several minutes trying to connect with someone at the concierge service who could help us out. It was a rough beginning to an otherwise perfect stay

    Wonderful guest cottage in the back of Palmetto Bluff. Beautifully designed and well equipped. Loved morning coffee on the balcony, beautiful sunrises on my morning walk. and bike rides with the girls via the River Rd path to Montage for dinner and spa. Would like to come back later in spring to enjoy the water more,

    The Carriage Home was perfect for our family needs. The owner was extraordinarily helpful with any questions we had throughout our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the Carriage Home was an excellent place to stay for our family of five. Palmetto Bluff is quaint and peaceful yet plenty of activities for the children. I’m hopeful the Community will resolve its apparent on-going dispute with homeowners as access to the Canoe Pool and Fitness Area was a big plus to the experience,

    A beautifully decorated place with wonderful amenities…we enjoyed the golf cart to tour Palmetto Bluff. A river boat excursion is a must!
