Wonderful secret garden apartment! Bubba's place was a nice retreat surrounded (literally) by beautiful plants, trees, and plantings. Tucked away behind the main house, the aptly names treehouse is a rustic retreat from the busy city. SUPER soft bed and all the amenities needed. It was too hot to enjoy but the two balconies would be great in cooler weather. Thanks for a great retreat, Bubba!

My husband and I typically use VRBO because we’ve always been able to rely on the property descriptions and prices. No surprises, and this trip was no exception.This was an in-town stay, as our house needed extensive electrical work, and the power would be off for 2 to 3 days, This necessitated relocating ourselves *and* the contents of our fridge.I reserved the Tranquil Treehouse primarily because of its location & description. The house lived up to everything that we expected. It is in the middle of a neighborhood, but standing on the back deck, you might feel as if you were in the middle of the woods. The house is covered in Confederate Jessamine, which makes the view out the windows very dappled. The backyard is almost a riot of hydrangeas, vines, and formal and informal plantings that connect three adjoining yards. The bird songs and crickets in the evenings made sitting on the back deck very serene. There is a lovely New Orleans style front porch where you can take in morning coffee.The Treehouse is well appointed, with a well-stocked kitchen, tons of towels, very soft bedding, and a decent sized living room with a small dining area off to the side. The full-sized fridge was critical to our trip, Mr. Cromer was promptly responsive to calls or texts. It was also nice to see and chat with him in mornings or evenings as he tended to his gardens, or prepared to do his outreach work.My husband and I felt very welcomed. I would definitely recommend this property.

I loved my time in the treehouse!!I am from Columbia, back to visit family and friends. Location on Blossom St in Shandon was perfect, walking distance to bars, restaurants, and church [St. Joseph's]. Specific things that I enjoyed:Beautiful neighborhood, quiet, beautiful yards, etc. Very Walkable. Safe. Great wildlife [Barred owl with 3 owlets, saw them daily, made my stay even more special]Beautiful garden in backFront porch with rocking chairs. Host- Bubba Cromer was great!Reminded me of the older beach houses on Folly Beach before Hurricane Hugo !Things to be aware of: - be sure you understand where the entrance is [you go through the left side door, that is usually closed, and then up the stairs. - the washing machine/dryer are in the basement /garage below the apartment. They both worked great, but you might have difficulty locating them.- this is not a resort. - the queen bed [not twin beds] was very soft. I slept on the sofa instead, which was great [I slept better than I do at home]. If you are not from South Carolina, there are few things that you need to be aware of:- it is the South, you can expect humidity and it is hot in the summer. - it is the South, we have bugs. The mosquitos : less than expected. All homes have harmless "Palmetto Bugs", some folks call these roaches - dead ones are a good sign. - this is like an older beach house. It is not perfect. Don't expect perfection: this is not a resort property.

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.
