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.

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.
Again! Such a great host. Really enjoyed the house and the hospitality. Thank you again.
Wish I knew about this place before. It was close to where I was visiting and felt like home. I will definitely return again.
Perfect for us to stay in during our time in Columbia.
Definitely will be staying at one of his properties again! Hopefully in October as a matter of fact! Thanks again for your hospitality, everything was great! You’ll be hearing from me soon!
The house was clean when we arrived. It was a great price and location. I think the only thing we would have liked would be a few of the things you dont usually pack, such as laundry soap and more toilet paper. Otherwise it was nice being in a home rather than a hotel. The owner is very nice and had great communication.
Pleasant place to stay. Clean, roomy, convenient location to the Williams-Brice football stadium.
We were in town from PA moving our daughter back to college. We were in a bind being that all of our local kennels were booked and we needed to bring our dogs with us. This house was a gem to find. A little further out of the city than we would have liked (about 15 minutes), but an easy commute. The house was quiet, which kept the dogs calm; quite roomy, so there was plenty of space to put their crates without being in the way; and most importantly, CLEAN! And as a bonus, there was a wonderful fenced-in yard. The host was very nice and responsive whenever we needed him. We would definitely stay here again.
This was the worst experience for a vacation rental I have ever experienced. I have been renting vacation homes for a long time with different companies. The lack of communication with the owner to get combination for lockbox did not exist. I sent a message via VRBO, as well as telephoned him, on the morning of departure. He did not call me back until 1:00 P.M, and his response is that he had up to 4:00 P.M. to respond to me. My wife finally got him to allow us in at 3:00 P.M. and was told the key was under the front door mat. I was not allow to get the combination because it was used for emergencies or for the housekeeper(how inconvenient with friends== had to hide the key outside so other people could use). The lawn was not cut(up to my ankle or higher), A lot of light bulbs was not in place, numerous dump trucks passing in front of the house all day since the end of the street was a entrance to sandpit company, the driveway was a steep angle and four inch difference between driveway surface and ground in some area(very dangerous). He then sends emails concerning stipulations about stay a hour before 4;00 P.M. that should have been on his house webpage. I also had to dispose of the garbage before leaving. even though I paid a cleaning fee. I could have been charged extra money for arriving early or leaving late(outrageous fee). I will never stay at this place ever again. What a disappointment.
We would get this place again an over all it was nice to stay
