You’ll be impressed with a fully-stocked kitchen that will enable you to prepare a gourmet meal inside, while reserving your right to grill out on the deck if you so choose!

Outdoor areas could use a good clean before guests arrive. Those needed some attention. Other than that it was a gorgeous listing.

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.

Great location and host!

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.

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!

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!
