The entire rental was very clean. My favorite part was the tub and shower. I took a long soak and after a lot of travel it erased my stress. The hosts were wonderful and responsive. Everything was as advertised and i would definitely come back and rent again.

We objected to the insurance requirement and the lack of access to the back yard, but the location was great, the property was as advertised and we will recommend to family and friends.

Thank you for your feedback and we enjoyed having you stay! Regarding the damage waiver requirement, each guest should be given the option when booking to either select the non-refundable damage waiver or refundable security deposit. Please let me know if you were not given this option and I can work with VRBO to correct this. Thanks! Randy

The pictures don’t do this property justice. It is a clean and welcoming environment. A true sanctuary in Columbia and in a great location close to campus. The owners make you feel right at home. We hope to stay there again on our next visit!

The cottage was perfect for our stay! We were there for parents weekend for our son at Carolina. The location was very convenient. The cottage was clean and comfortable and very quiet and private. Randy was friendly and helpful. He even called after we left because we accidentally left my husband's dress pants! Luckily, we were still in town at breakfast with our son so we could easily go back to get them. We would stay again. Thank you!

We were looking for a weekend getaway and this charming cottage was the perfect match.

Though located within a minutes drive to downtown, this charming cottage is nestled within a quiet garden that provided a backdrop for an amazing weekend stay. The hosts were so accommodating and available to answer questions, offer suggestions for places to eat, and provide all the amenities needed to relax and enjoy ourselves. My favorites were soaking in the tub, having coffee in the garden, grilling dinner, and the soft cozy bed! It is a ideal spot for a couple to spend time reconnect, whether by enjoying the convenience to shopping and attractions of Columbia or snuggling up to watch movies from endless available channels. This is a hidden treasure we will definitely revisit!

Wonderful Stay - Highly Recommended

My wife and I came to Columbia for Parent's weekend at USC. We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. The location is terrific for visits to USC, Five Points, SODA City, Graduation, etc. The cottage itself was great too. It was private, well appointed, and perfect for our visit. We felt right at home from the very beginning......We'll definitely be back again!

Columbia stay

This was one of the nicest VRBO properties I have visited. Beautiful setting, quiet area but close to everything. The design of the property and gardens was worth the visit. I would give 10 stars for cleanliness if allowed

Nice place, nice location

Exterior picture doesn't do this place justice. Very nice apartment over garage tucked away in a garden behind home. Street parking is easy. Easy communication through text with owner. Great location with easy walk to Devine St shops/restaurants. My only knock would be for a single night stay after fees, security deposit, and additional reqd insurance the price jumps up quite a bit. But thats on me for booking last minute. Would definitely book again and recommend for multiple night stay.
