Perfect gathering spot for family memorial
This house was perfect for us to gather for a family memorial. It was nice to be able to be together instead of in multiple hotel rooms. The house was well equipped and was well represented in the photos. Appreciated the little extras like multiple plugs by the bed, lots of hangers, good instructions, etc. Sitting outside was particularly nice and a few of our group took advantage of the pool table!

Very Nice Property
We enjoyed our stay very much. Located in a Nice and quiet neighborhood. The house was very well stocked with just about everything you would need. Very clean and roomy. Comfortable sofa and large smart TV. Easy internet access.The only thing we didn’t prefer were the super firmness of the beds in two of the bedrooms. Much too hard for our arthritic backs and joints. However one bedroom worked out perfectly so that was great.Communication with host was fantastic! He really takes pride in his rental and responds quickly. We will stay here again on a future trip.

Beautiful home and location!
Columbia House is a home away from home. Very clean, spacious, and comfortable with EVERYTHING you need to feel at home. Loved the well-equipped kitchen with counter seating. Quiet neighborhood, friendly neighbors, and more importantly the host Chris was great. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent for family gathering
We really enjoyed our stay here. The one floor layout was great for us, sharing the home between two families with four adults and three kids. The house was well appointed and how they stocked the kitchen was much appreciated. Their flexibility with allowing pre-approved guests to stop by also enhanced our experience. Only thing to note is that there is no access to a washer or dryer; luckily they had extra linens available. I'd recommend this property for those looking for a family friendly place to gather.

Fantastic stay over Christmas
Situated in a quiet established neighborhood, and convenient to a variety of stores and restaurants. Living room and den areas are spacious and comfortable as were the bedrooms. The kitchen was outstanding. Stocked with everything you could possibly need plus many lesser used kitchen implements and appliances. We cooked dinner for 6 adults each night. The ample counter space easily accommodated several chefs. Although no laundry access, this is a perfect place for a week stay. The rental does not include the entire house, the basement is closed off and one of the owners did come and stay in the basement while we were there.

Great house
We enjoyed this location alot. Host was very communicative. I did think it was a 4 bedroom because the listing said ok for 8 adults. We improvised by using blow ups in living room. Plenty of space for all :)

This home is perfect for family. Chris was so kind and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The pool table was an added bonus and kept the kids busy. Plenty of room to spread out and super neighborhood. Would recommend this house to family and friends.

EXCELLENT STAY!
MyColumbiaHse was the perfect place for our family. The bedrooms were on the opposite side of the house from the gathering room, which made them quiet. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of bath towels and extra pillows. The gas grill on the deck was nice. The yard space for the kids to run and have water play was perfect. The pool table was a big hit! Plenty of driveway parking! Easy access to highway and grocery store. Communication was great and Chris even delivered muffins on check out day! We will definitely look for availability the next time we need housing in the Columbia, MD area!!
