About this property

Big Red Columbia Living near DT, USC, Ft. J! Pets!

  • Welcome to Big Red! Enjoy this unique and spacious cabin-like farmhouse with 2000sqft, 4BR / 2BA, surrounded by a private acreage of land. Our property is in a safe and peaceful neighborhood,conveniently and centrally situated to everything that wonderful Columbia has to offer. We've set up our unit with families and large groups in mind!

    You are only:

    6 min drive Lexington Med Center

    8 min drive Downtown, Columbia

    8 min drive Riverbanks Zoo

    11 min drive USC

    24 min drive Fort Jackson

    Need to lounge out? We have a comfortable, open concept living area, for that mid day nap you're craving.

    Sure, eating at the finest restaurants can be fun. But sometimes we all need a home cooked meal, right? That's why our kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials you'll need to cook you and your family a nice dinner.

    Generously sized, we have two queen size bedrooms (master w/ large 4K tv) and two full size bedrooms, two full bathrooms (master bathroom w/ tub).

    Have a pup? Our fenced in, private backyard give them enough space to run their heart out. For the group, enjoy our big red large deck, outdoor seating, and firepit. We kindly ask to adhere by our 2 pet maximum, with a weight limit of 35lbs each.

    You're staying for while and that outfit can only be worn so many times. Use our in unit washer and dryer to freshen up.

    So what are you waiting for? Columbia is calling your name and Big Red is the place to stay! Your vacation self will thank you.

    The property is all yours! Please be courteous to our neighbors and respect their space.

Home away from home

Wow! Very clean, spacious home, beautifully decorated in a great location. All of the comforts of your own home while away. Our family and dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay here while moving our daughter to UofSC. We will stay here again when we come to SC to visit!

The property was just as described online. Very family-friendly from plenty of room and seating to spread out, games to play, and large yard for our grandson to run. The host promptly responded to questions we had as well as made contact to make sure everything was okay with our stay. We were able to enjoy Wild Lights at Riverbanks Zoo as well as the Saluda Riverwalk, West Columbia Riverwalk, and a morning at Leo’s Landing(a pretty amazing all inclusive playground.) The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals and eat together. We will stay again.

Clean and comfortable. Getting TV's to work was a challenge. The TV in the family room froze up and 3 remotes for 1 TV in the Master with no directions continued to frustrate me throughout our stay.

Beautiful home...but beware.. ROACHES!

The house is very nicely decorated and spacious but 2 tvs do not have cable and we couldnt get them to work/or the one working to stay on. The master bdem tv wouldnt connect and when it finally did had a frozen Netflix screen. The living room yv played Netflix and while streaming news/live tv it randomly shuts off. We can live withoit tv..not thr biggest deal but helpful for thr kids to sleep. The MAIN issue we had was we found 2 small roaches in the middle bathroom on our 2nd night and a green caterpillar in the kitchen. The catepillar was really no big deal but roaches..GROSS! NOT acceptable! There is no hot tub/ pool or whatever it is described. Communication was pretty quick with host about issues but he suggested the bugs we saw were palmetto bugs and they were definitely ROACHES! To make things worse...while driving home one was found traveling homw with us and was found on our luggage at a reat stop! I understood bugs get inside and this is a woodsy area..but a roach is a roach. They need an exterminator QUICK! Rhwir solution was a discounted next stay..and that doesn't seem to be a reasonable resolution. We have had enough bugs. No thank you!
