Great location, quiet street. Loved the old house with some modern touches. Regular drip coffee maker plus a Keurig. The beds were the most comfortable I have ever slept on in a rental even at a hotel. The hot tub was the amazing after walking and being on our feet all day tailgating.

This property falls short of expectations. Only three kitchen lights were operational. The interior design was eccentric, and the home's overall condition was outdated, accompanied by a lingering unpleasant smell. Furthermore, one bathroom showed signs of mold on the ceiling, while the other had a loose vent and mold under the caulking with widespread peeling paint throughout home. Additionally, the kitchen suffered from grease drippings, stained ceilings, and a filthy sink. The outdoor seating area and jacuzzi were also poorly maintained10 out 10 don’t recommend!

West Columbia is perfect if visiting downtown Cola!

Love the quaint little brick cottage. We did not cook while there, but the kitchen had everything you would need. Proximity to downtown Cola was great plus quaint lil cafe's were a couple streets walk away. We also found the old Brookland Fire station that was turned into a Brewery - Savage Craft Ale Works with great food that we could walk to! Really liked the calm in the backyard of the house with a pond & seating on a deck that went around the back right corner of the home. Hot tub was nice & large but smelled a lil musty- headrests could be replaced since they are stained and probably won't come clean. My husband & I thought the bed in the front room was like sleeping on a cloud!!! Note: there is no en-suite for that bedroom but was not an issue for us traveling alone. The front bedroom and other queen bedroom off that hallway share the full bath. Off the kitchen is a single bed and an en-suite off that bedroom. Enjoyed the home away from home!
