Relaxing stay

House was very clean, beds were comfortable and the couch was great to relax on. Only issue was the mowing company came by at 7:45 am to mow yard, other than that it was a great stay.

Quiet Cottage in Columbia

We loved our stay at this cozy cottage just minutes away from downtown Columbia, the capital and U of SC. This 2 bedroom bungalow was perfect for my husband, our adult daughter and me. It was clean, quiet and cozy and had everything that we needed.

Fit Perfectly For Our Needs

Perfect property for us to use while we moved our daughter into University of South Carolina. By far better then any hotel room due to the amount of space once receives. 10 out of 10, would stay again.

Host was very responsive even before booking. The place was great, comfortable and the kitchen VERY well supplied with all sorts of cooking implements. Location was quiet and great (a short walk to Main St) but parking is tight and limited to two vehicles. My only niggle was that the renting company (host, not VRBO) takes you through their own portal and tries to make you pay a separate deposit for damages on top of what VRBO charges - that's not OK.

Clean and cozy

My son and I loved everything about this place. The neighborhood was nice and not too far from the Farmers Market on Main. The couch and beds were so comfortable. The place was spotless too. The owner was very responsive when the WiFi didn’t work. My only complaint is about booking the place. I never had experience with Truvi before so I wasn’t happy with the non refundable 35 that I mistakenly chose.
