    I loved my time in the treehouse!!I am from Columbia, back to visit family and friends. Location on Blossom St in Shandon was perfect, walking distance to bars, restaurants, and church [St. Joseph's]. Specific things that I enjoyed:Beautiful neighborhood, quiet, beautiful yards, etc. Very Walkable. Safe. Great wildlife [Barred owl with 3 owlets, saw them daily, made my stay even more special]Beautiful garden in backFront porch with rocking chairs. Host- Bubba Cromer was great!Reminded me of the older beach houses on Folly Beach before Hurricane Hugo !Things to be aware of: - be sure you understand where the entrance is [you go through the left side door, that is usually closed, and then up the stairs. - the washing machine/dryer are in the basement /garage below the apartment. They both worked great, but you might have difficulty locating them.- this is not a resort. - the queen bed [not twin beds] was very soft. I slept on the sofa instead, which was great [I slept better than I do at home]. If you are not from South Carolina, there are few things that you need to be aware of:- it is the South, you can expect humidity and it is hot in the summer. - it is the South, we have bugs. The mosquitos : less than expected. All homes have harmless Palmetto Bugs, some folks call these roaches - dead ones are a good sign. - this is like an older beach house. It is not perfect. Don't expect perfection: this is not a resort property.

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

    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.

    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!

    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.
