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.

The house was very clean and the renovations looked great. The host was very communicative and easy to get ahold of. I will definitely book again in the future. Thank You!
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.
Cozy and very clean! It was a perfect place to stay for my son’s basic training graduation at Fort Jackson. It was around 20-25 minutes drive to base and easy to maneuver. The house itself is older, but well kept and very clean. It was comfortable for my older parents and my two year old granddaughter. The fenced back yard is a wonderful feature. The only thing I’d note is that the light that comes into the front bedroom at night is bright! A blind in the window would be a wonderful addition. Thank you Doran for being so responsive and making check in so easy! Your house is a gem.

Dated property but very clean and comfortable. Big fenced in yard if needed .Beds were very comfortable . Location was rural but was fine for our trips into Columbia.
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.
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.
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!
Host did not communicate with me for 3 days prior to my check in day. Was not able to check in. Host finally messaged me 2.5 hrs after the check in time. I had to find my own lodging for the night. Although I was refunded the full cost, it took much effort on my part to get this done thru Vrbo. Only after asking several times for Vrbo t refund my new hotel expense did they agree, but they were not initially going to pay for my hotel for 1 night because "I was already getting refunded from the host and then not spending over the original cost to me". Not really happy with this host or Vrbo.
The property was clean and as described. Plenty of space, linens, kitchen supplies. Check in process was easy and host was quick to respond after reservation was up until check in. No issues at all.

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.

Cute and comfortable!
This home was a perfect “home away from home” during our stay in Columbia. The owners were extremely helpful and attentive to all of our needs!
This home was just as advertised and just what we needed while visiting for parents weekend. About a 25 min straight shot drive from school. Had everything we needed. Would stay again!
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.

Very nice place
Lack of communication led to my family not getting into the rental till 5 when check in was 4, communication is key! Once we got in the house was as advertised. Very clean and cozy. Would rent again if we stayed in the area

Very cozy and family friendly. All the amenities of being at home. The owner was very fast at responding and quick with needs. Asked if the property had a grill or bbq and he furnished one for our stay! Will most definitely contact this owner for our next stay! Thank you again from our family to yours!

Great place, just as advertized
Our family very much enjoyed our stay. We had an easy 20 to 30 min. Ride to Fort Jackson and back! There is a Food Lion minutes from the house with anything you could need! Doran was great with communication and everything was exactly as pictured! We were able to bring our Soldier back and enjoy him in a very peaceful setting!
