Older home in a quiet neighborhood. Beds are very comfortable. The water pressure and hot water is amazing. Any questions were answered quickly. This place is away from the hustle and traffic of town and base and has a Walmart close by. The yard was enjoyed by the kids and it was nice that it is enclosed. Would stay here again if I need to go back to the area.

    The house truly felt like a home away from home. It had every amenity we could need- cooking utensils, soaps, some games/books, plenty of seating, and a place to park. Our family of 4 had plenty of room. The home was beautifully decorated and the beds were super comfortable. The location was perfect and close to the Riverwalk and the Zoo that we chose to visit during our stay. We would definitely recommend The Berry Bungalow to anyone looking for a relaxing place to stay in the Columbia area.

    Property was not what I expected. The online pictures were not what i experienced. Broken cabinets and smelly sheets. I purchased bedding because i could not tolerate the ones given. Im regards to location, I felt that i was in the ghetto. The room opposite mine had constant arguing. There is so much more... Will never stay there again.

    I loved the home as a whole. I came to move my daughter into USC. It was so charming and comfy, I wanted to come back for another stay during parents weekend however, the cost then was far more expensive than I can afford as a single mother.

    Organization and appearance of lobby and outdoor entrance - had a little seating area with two rocking chairs and an old English-looking telephone booth and lots of foliage with outdoor party lights hanging above the path. Liked the fresh bananas and apples for guests to take at their pleasure. It has a really nice outdoor entertainment area with fireplace and grill and pool. People were hanging out and grilling despite the heat and humidity. The breakfast and dining area were top notch.
