The backyard made our trip!

This house was one of the nicest I have stayed in Columbia. It was set in a North Columbia neighborhood with 2 coffee shops and a cute indoor marketplace within walking distance. Host communication was responsive and thorough. We were a group of moms staying together for our boys' UofSC fraternity moms' weekend (they are roommates and for one weekend, so were we!). The place had everything we needed for our weekend activities. The beds and pillows were comfortable and there was ample seating for us to have our coffee together in the living room. We invited our sons to join us in the amazing backyard to watch the football game and enjoy appetizers and drinks, and it was a great success. The weather was perfect for backyard football watching before we headed out to the other activities they had planned for us. We have already talked about coming back next year! Thank you!

We had a fabulous time at the Cola’s Hideaway. We were in town for a gamecocks football game and did a pregame tailgate using the grill and backyard space. The cabana and the outdoor television were big pluses. The house is in great shape and it fit our needs perfectly. There are also a couple restaurants within walking distance so it was fun to explore the area. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

Solider Ceremony

We went to see our son graduate from basic training and wanted a place to relax after our long drive. This was close to the base and had all the amenities we were looking for! The entire family was able to just kick back and relax and our son really enjoyed the pool before we had to transport him to the next base. Communication with the host was a little iffy to begin with but after that they answered everything in a timely manner. If you have a large group like ours, I would recommend getting paper plates, plastic ware, cups and if you drink LOTS of coffee might as well pick a box up as well :) Otherwise you might be running the dishwasher multiple times lol. Overall it’s a lovely old home in a beautiful neighborhood. The driveway is steep and ended up scraping backing out- so we just parked on the street. I believe everyone in our party enjoyed their time and didn’t really want to leave :)

Soldier Graduating BT, stay here

My son was graduating from Army BT and I was looking for a place that the entire family could stay and enjoy. We couldn't have been more happier with this property, it's everything advertised. The kids loved the swimming pool as the adults were able to sit and relax outside while watching TV and grilling out. I think the only time we were actually inside the house was to go to bed or take a shower. Tim was very responsive to every question I had during the reservation process. I would recommend anyone to stay here, one day or a week, can't go wrong. FYI, soldiers are not allowed to leave post on family day if that is reasoning for visit.

Great place with Amazing Pool!

Wow. I never felt so special checking into a place before. The owners communications were timely and polite. Then we started receiving updates a few days prior to checkin that were very clear and concise. Upon arrival I was greeted with a handwritten note welcoming me with a nice little baskets of snacks. The place was immaculate and just as charming in person as it showed in the pictures. Nice home updates and very modern feel with the furniture and accents. The backyard and pool was absolutely stunning. The pool was HUGE and the putting green was a nice touch to have some family fun. The patio and porch was so nice and gave you the feeling that you were in your own home. I wish that we had the nice sunny weather the weekend that we rented so we could enjoyed the pool fully. We did take a polar bear dip in the pool but that was about it for this trip. I would definitely be back should my travels bring me back to Columbia, SC. Thank you for making us feel welcome and comfortable during our stay!
