The name says it all....a peaceful, unique property filled with rustic charm! Set in a beautiful garden, you really do feel like you are in a treehouse. It was a great location for everything we needed and wanted to do. Bubba is a great host, very helpful and responsive. Would stay again!
Tranquil Treehouse is in a great location near downtown Columbia. Easy to walk around beautiful neighborhoods and to shops and restaurants. The Treehouse is well appointed with a full kitchen and two TVs. The English Garden is beautiful. The host is very responsive to any requests.
Unique property in a great location. We enjoyed being able to walk in the neighborhood and to nearby restaurants. The host was easy to communicate with. We plan to stay there again when in Columbia.
Can't beat the Shandon neighborhood and location of the Treehouse. Bubba was a great host and the place was clean and cozy - would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a room!
A southern-style, quirky, fully equipped apartment surrounded by trees in a back garden. Located in an old picturesque South Carolina neighborhood of Columbia. Stay here for a taste of southern living. Do not stay here if you are looking for a bland sterile hotel room experience.
We had a great stay while moving our son out of USC. Location is in a great neighbor, close to stores and walkable to restaurants. Bubba is a great host. And the place is a gem hidden in a secret garden.
We enjoyed the "Treehouse" in Shandon - Columbia, South Carolina. Bubba was very accommodating and responsive. We would definitely stay there again. It is the perfect place for a couple.
I am always in search of the perfect place to stay in Columbia in close proximity to the stadium and university. This was perfectly located in town, easy to get to and very quiet for sleeping after a long football tailgate day! I will definitely recommend and stay again!
Second time staying here. We did a long term rental for a few months and it couldn’t have been nicer. Wonderful neighborhood, super clean accommodations. Bubba, the host, is just great and will help with anything you may need during your time there.

Bubba is an amazing host! Very prompt and informative with all communications before and during our stay. The Tree House is a unique, charming place to stay. It is covered with ivy and blends seamlessly into the gardens below. We had everything we needed during our stay.The neighborhood is beautiful, historic, safe and most importantly for us, less than 10 minutes from MUSC hospital. We were also close to nice shopping and restaurants.Again Bubba was an amazing host!
