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.

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!

The treehouse is such a quaint spot on Blossom St. The proximity to Devine St, restaurants, and shops was perfect too. The apt was clean with a very comfy bed. The entry way, I imagined, was like entering a secret garden; however, the ivy & fig vine needs a trim!
