Great place!

We had a family group ranging in age from 12 to 96 and everyone enjoyed our stay. The backyard was a beautiful place to gather with plenty of room for the yard games that we brought. We did have a problem with the hot water but with a phone call the owners quickly addressed the issue. I would recommend staying at this property.

Happy Trip!

Really, really nice home!!! It’s an older home but excellently maintained in a really great neighborhood. The light switches really were a hoot and a half, and provided a source of amusement for us. There were a lot of great restaurants within 2 miles of the house. I would highly recommend this staying here.

We enjoyed our stay at the Locust Estate. We had some issues with check-in, but the property owner responded promptly and gave us the correct code to enter the house. The house is well located and had more than enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our family.

Nice house in Columbia, PA

The house was exactly as advertised, We enjoyed the 4 full bathrooms. The homeowner gave us good ideas of places to visit in the area and we appreciated the collection of brochures from the area. Rooms and tables were big enough to accommodate our party of 9.

Great for a gathering!

We really enjoyed staying here! The layout and bedrooms were ideal for or group with a mix of singles and couples. We enjoyed being walking distance from downtown. The large backyard space was wonderful and there were a nice variety of indoor spaces. (The screened porch in particular was really lovely.) The owner was also very accommodating when we had to return after check out to pick up an item we forgot. Do be advised that shampoo was not included (despite being mentioned in the listing.)
