The Blue Bungalow
Great place to stay while attending classes! Hosts were very responsive and super friendly!

Private Downtown Guesthouse - 1 Mile to MU
I really enjoyed staying at Jessica's home. The apartment was just as described, and was nice and homey. Jessica was very responsive and accommodating. Couldn't have been more satisfied with my stay.

Wooded pampered comfort close to downtown
This stay was one of the better experiences I’ve had with Airbnb. Anne wrote us a personalized card and left us farm fresh eggs and locally baked cookies. Amazing! The place was so quiet and peaceful. I would stay here again! The only complaint I have is that we were unable to adjust the temperature in the space. However, Anne provided a fan, and it was cool enough outside to open the window.

Cozy Meadow 2 bedroom house central Como Location
Wow! This was such an incredible stay! Five stars! Hosts were super responsive to any questions we had, place was clean and comfortable with a great sized backyard for our pups, and even though it was quiet and tucked away it was still walkable to multiple coffee shops and restaurants. There were even human and dog treats left out for us! On top of this all, brand new baby birds had made a nest in a wreath on the front door. They were absolutely adorable, and added some magic to an already incredible stay. If you are ever in Columbia you must book this place!

Newly Built Home w/ Fresh Design
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10 STARS! Nathan’s home was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, everything was clean, cozy, and welcoming. The space was exactly as described—beautifully decorated, thoughtfully stocked, and super comfortable. You can tell Nathan really cares about his guests; every detail was well thought out, from the soft linens to the little touches that made us feel right at home. Communication was smooth and responsive the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would 100% book again. Highly recommend!

Apothecary on Anderson 🌱
Super cute little house- we loved the unique decorations and personal touches! The bathtub is clean and works great, and was a relaxing experience while away from home. Definitely recommend!

Cozy Guest Suite in Columbia
I stayed at Daniel’s Airbnb for 2 months while completing my clinical rotation at MU Hospital, and I couldn’t have asked for a better host or experience. From the start, Daniel was responsive and attentive. We had a few minor maintenance issues early on, but he addressed them quickly and thoroughly, even taking extra steps to clean and ensure everything was in perfect condition afterward. The space itself was fantastic—very spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. Having a private washer and dryer in the unit was a huge plus, especially for an extended stay. The location was also convenient and felt safe, which gave me peace of mind after days at the hospital. Daniel made a point to check in periodically to see if I needed anything and was always kind, respectful, and easy to communicate with. His commitment to making sure guests feel welcome and cared for really stood out. If I ever need to return to Columbia, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to stay at Daniel’s place again.

Secluded "Heaven": soaker tub, sauna, sunset view
We had a great girls weekend at the cabin! We spent so much time on the porch and in the sunroom!
