About this property

Home With View of Columbia Cityscape

BETTER THAN A HOTEL!!!
And cheaper too!
Nestled on top a hill at the outskirts of Columbia, yet close and convenient to everything. Fort Jackson and Columbia are about 20 minutes with the USC football stadium approximately 15 minutes. All beds fully made. Kitchen stocked with everything you need. The bathrooms are clean, fresh and inviting. FREE WIFI internet and FREE washer/dryer usage. Close and convenient to interstates 26 & 77 and highways 6, 321 & 302. Guests have exclusive access to all areas of the home and property. The backyard is fenced with chain-link fencing which is great for children and pets. Please do not enter neighboring properties without neighbor’s permission.
This home has one or more video cameras mounted on the exterior. Please do not bother or disturb the cameras and do not unplug them. A tampering fee of $200 will be charged per incident of cameras or their cords being tampered with.
Sleeping arrangements are solely the responsibility of the guest. We make no guarantee of the number of people our home can sleep, but we will allow groups larger than the number of people we specify in the home’s listing. The number of people that this home can sleep is calculated assuming 2 people per bed in double sized or larger beds, and 1 person per bed for single/twin beds. Guests are responsible for determining if this arrangement suits them and their party of companions. Guests may bring sleeping bags, inflatable mattresses, etc. to provide additional sleeping arrangements if they so desire.
Pets are allowed after they are declared in the reservation and the pet fee is paid, or we have been notified that the guest wishes to bring a pet, and the $75 + tax per pet fee paid. If you bring pets without declaring them and paying the reservation pet fee, you will be responsible for paying a $250 + tax per pet fee. Do not bring a pet into our home, under any circumstances, without our knowledge and approval. We have a child who is extremely allergic to pets and their hair and dander. The allergy is so acute, he has required emergency hospitalization several times. No matter how good or well-trained a pet may be, no pet, including service animals, can avoid shedding hair and dander, and when pets are in strange places, they do strange things. If you have not declared your pet on the reservation site and paid the pet fee, so the home can be specially cleaned and sanitized of hair and dander after you leave, please, do not bring a pet into our home, under any circumstances, without our knowledge and approval. When the guest is allowed to bring a pet, if the pet soils (urine, poop, blood, other bodily fluids, dirt, etc.) or damages the floor, carpet, furniture, etc., the cleaning service charges additional fees for cleaning and repair that will be charged to the guest. When brought into the home, pets are not allowed on countertops or any of the furniture, beds, tables, chairs, etc. Pets are to stay on the floor at all times. If you bring pets into our home without our approval, there will be charged $250 + tax per pet.
Our home is offered for people visiting the area to have a place to stay while they are out and about and attending to the purpose of their visit. Our home is not intended nor offered for having social events or hosting guests and visitors. If you are having visitors, then you are engaging in a social event. Social Events are allowed with approval of host. For any type of social event, parties, gatherings, rehearsals, reunions, showers, weddings, etc. there is a charge of $150 + tax. After you reserve our home, we will send a special payment request, through your reservation web page, for the social event fee in the amount of $150 + tax. When you book our home, you will need to declare the number of people who will be staying in the home, and you will have to let us know how many people will be attending the event.
Guests are required to provide a clear, legible copy of a valid driver’s license for the individual making the reservation and a list of the full names for all persons who will be staying in the home or accessing the property. Check-in will be allowed only after the copies of driver’s license and list of names have been received.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

It's in need of some upgrades but it's clean, everything works, great hot water and very comfortable. Check in is a breeze and the kitchen is only missing a kettle (wife is British). Good place for the money and I would stay here again.

Home away from home

3 bedroom 2 bath small house that was perfect for our needs. We were only 12 miles from family we were there to visit. 100% better than getting a motel room.

Perfect for what we needed

House was perfect for the purpose of our visit - college tours. It was a little farther out than we anticipated, but that’s my own fault for not researching more. The house itself was great!

Found this great stay close to Fort Jackson where our nephew was graduating basic this is a perfect 23 miles away so if your soldier needs a place to decompress its perfect. This house was so nice - enough beds and rooms for five people, nice size kitchen to cook in and a huge backyard. There is a grill in the back yard if you are someone who likes to cook on charcoal. Host is very communicative when we needed to ask questions.Bedrooms: The primary bedroom has a king size bed and a nice huge bathroom with walk in closet. There is two queen/full size beds in one room access to the closet is tight. Then there is either a full/queen size bed in the other bed room. There is a shared bathroom for those rooms close by. Living room: nice size, tv is small and the WIFI is not that great but you are able to use the apps on the tv to watch your favorite streaming options. Couch is really not sleepable but I'm sure someone small could sleep on it. There are board games available to play with families as well.Kitchen: Great size table for four, there are extra chairs about for people to set on to eat. There is a normal coffee pot, we brought our Keurig so that is something I thought people should know about the coffee situation. There are basic cooking utensils and pots & pans. make sure you bring extra storage bags or trash bags for your trash.Laundry Room: We did use the laundry room, bring your own washing detergent and dryer sheets if you plan to wash your clothes.

About a year ago, I rented another place in preparation for my nephew's wedding. As time got closer, a little over a month before the occasion, the proprietors of the other location notified me that due to circumstances beyond their control, they could no longer accommodate me, so my search for accommodations was back on, and I found this place. It was a blessing. This is a single residence, and it is in the country, but still close to some restaurants, and grocery shopping. I liked the location because it was quiet, and the fact that it was close enough to the event, but not so close that people would try to come see me. Let's face it, I love my family, but I also like my space. The place was clean, had cook wear in the kitchen, and plenty of towels, if you need them. The proprietor responded to messages very quickly and check in and out was very easy. There were a few spiders, but keep in mind, it is a little in the country. If you want perfect, someone to hold your hand through everything, someone waiting on you hand and foot, this place may not be for you. If you want simple life living comforts, with a home like feel, this could be your best option. I really enjoyed my stay and if for some reason I need to be back in that area, I would definitely stay there again.

Perfect for our weekend stay!

We needed a place for five of us to stay for a family wedding in Columbia. The house was perfect, very nice accommodations at a reasonable price. Owner was very responsive to our questions prior to arrival and the house was just as promised. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Home Away from Home

Great place to stay. Our family enjoyed the home. Nice and clean and close to shopping. We were there because our son graduated from Ft. Jackson and when we travel, I am always looking for a home away from home and we found it here. We will stay again if we're ever in Columbia again.

Perfect house for us.

We were attending a three day event at the South Congaree Horse Arena. It was so nice to come home to a real house after spending the entire day outside in the heat. Absolutely the best choice for our group to stay at Doran's house.

Overall the home was in a perfectly clean state. The only issue we ran into was every bed besides the master was hard as a rock with barely any cushion around a box of springs.
