– 900 sq. ft. charming guesthouse in the heart of historic Columbia.
– Furnished with modern/boho decor.
– 2-3 miles from Ft. Jackson; 2 miles from UofSC; walking distance from Williams-Brice Stadium
– Walking distance to the famous Rosewood Dairy Bar where you can go for quick fried snack or soft serve ice cream. Restaurants, grocery store, and bars also located within walking distance.
Located in the historic Shandon neighborhood, our guesthouse sits above an old carriage garage. It's tucked away behind the main house, surrounded by trees, making it feel like a treehouse hideaway. You'll have the entire guesthouse to yourself(ves)! Since it's detached and located behind the main house, the back yard area is shared, but you still have the ability to maintain your privacy. Access to the guesthouse is easy and located right off Rosewood Drive. Because it's so secluded you'd never know you're within walking distance to restaurants, bars, and grocery stores.

About the host
Hosted by David
Hi all! My name is David and my wife, Carissa, and I have been living in Columbia for the past 9 years. I am originally from Scranton, PA (yes, where "The Office" is set) and I moved here to do a master's degree after finishing Undergrad. I am now working in education. Carissa is from the upstate of SC and works in communications. We purchased this property about 7 years ago and have been renovating it since. We rented out the carriage house as a short-term rental for about 3 years now and just recently moved across town and are now renting out the main house as well! We loved living in the Shandon neighborhood and can not wait to share the property we love so much with our guests!
We both love to travel and we both work a lot! We both have part-time jobs; Carissa plays in a cover band and I work part-time in EMS. We love Columbia and spend a lot of time out on Main street. You can often find us at the Soda city market on Saturday mornings or at Bourbon for an evening cocktail. If you need anything or have any questions, please let us know! We are just a few miles away and can be available whenever you need!
