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.

Great location - nice linens

Great, great location. Neat concept, owner was quick to respond. Linens were very very nice and clean, good threadcount, the mattress may need some reinforcement or time for a new one as it sagged a bit in the middle. Would suggest, a deep clean, wasn't really really dirty, but smelled musty, however, it is a older home and maybe a new rug in the den, seemed to be at the end of it's lifespan.
