The location is very convenient when coming for parent events at Carolina. The neighborhood is great for a walk and for walking to restaurants and shops on Devine. Bubba was very helpful and responsive.

Wonderful secret garden apartment! Bubba's place was a nice retreat surrounded (literally) by beautiful plants, trees, and plantings. Tucked away behind the main house, the aptly names treehouse is a rustic retreat from the busy city. SUPER soft bed and all the amenities needed. It was too hot to enjoy but the two balconies would be great in cooler weather. Thanks for a great retreat, Bubba!

The Treehouse was as advertised, including historic charm and abundant trees and vines. Bubba was kind and helpful. The bed was extra soft, but he said he removed the added “egg crate” type of soft topper. The location was right near Five Points shops and restaurants, walkable if it hadn’t been so hot during our visit.

Tranquil Treehouse is in a great location near downtown Columbia. Easy to walk around beautiful neighborhoods and to shops and restaurants. The Treehouse is well appointed with a full kitchen and two TVs. The English Garden is beautiful. The host is very responsive to any requests.

Outdoor areas could use a good clean before guests arrive. Those needed some attention. Other than that it was a gorgeous listing.

Great location and host!

We had a great stay while moving our son out of USC. Location is in a great neighbor, close to stores and walkable to restaurants. Bubba is a great host. And the place is a gem hidden in a secret garden.

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.

Will stay again!

I am always in search of the perfect place to stay in Columbia in close proximity to the stadium and university. This was perfectly located in town, easy to get to and very quiet for sleeping after a long football tailgate day! I will definitely recommend and stay again!

Second time staying here. We did a long term rental for a few months and it couldn’t have been nicer. Wonderful neighborhood, super clean accommodations. Bubba, the host, is just great and will help with anything you may need during your time there.
