Columbus Cottage provides a 560 sqft private guest suite with comfy furnishings & en suite amenities in my downtown Columbus home. Home is over 1,200sq.ft. plus outdoor living areas.

Safe neighborhood just minutes away from health centers for those traveling here for work and close to local horse show facilities. Just minutes to Tryon Int'l Equestrian Center, Harmon Field and FENCE (Foothills Equestrian Nature Center).

Dog friendly/no fee.

The space
This guest suite in my home provides a comfortable, private retreat for travelers.

This dedicated space includes a living room, sleeping area with queen bed/comfy luxury linens; walk-in closet with dry kitchenette; a large bath with jetted tub; fast wi-fi; smart TV with tons of stations and streaming TV options --- all to make this your home away from home.

As an experienced host I've brought the furniture, furnishings, amenities and hospitality I've been known for at my former location --Happy Home Farm (reviews posted here from prior to August 2019 are from my former location) to my new setting 'in town' ---Happy Home Guest Suite @ Columbus Cottage.

We are in the process of ongoing upgrades....gardens and outdoor living spaces are being added; ....we are continuously improving the property to make your current and future stays more and more enjoyable...

Garage is now available for guest use; fits one car. Attached to home via screened in porch, this provides additional security for guests who may keep late or early hours for work or horse shows. Garage remote will be provided for your use and keyless entry has been installed.

Ideal for 1-2 people.

Monthly discount rate is based upon 28 days. For longer stays special pricing may be offered. Please 'contact host' with info on your expected length of stay and etc to chat and discuss. By booking you acknowledge that no length of stay constitutes 'residency'.

We are directly across the street from the Rescue Squad and near to the fire station so we occasionally hear sirens. They don't tend to last long...

Note- for longer term stays cleaning of the suite by host or hosts' staff is required each week; you will be consulted re the cleaning schedule to ensure the date/time is mutually convenient. Cleaning fees are now included in the stay fee.

We now have a camera to allow us to keep an eye on visiting wildlife. Guests may be visible on the camera when entering/exiting the screened in porch to the yard or when traversing the back yard.

Guest access
Entering via the kitchen, your suite is just a few feet away down the hall. just past the main living area.

The suite is dedicated for your comfort and privacy. While the main living room, kitchen, laundry and outdoor spaces are also available for your use they are shared with me.

I, too, have a private suite so depending upon how much interaction you wish we may or may not bump into each other much :).....I'm happy to interact as much or as little as you wish but am always available by phone or txt to help with anything you may need.

The kitchen is stocked with spices and such if you wish to cook....there's an eating area that overlooks the shade garden and water feature - the adjacent screened in porch overlooks the large yard.....watch for visiting deer!

Decks will be added in the backyard as soon as we can - for now you can sit on the front porch to lounge a bit or on the screened in porch (to be converted to a 3 season room at our earliest!!).....when decks are added we'll also have raised beds with veggies/herbs and you are welcome to pick your own if you're in the mood to cook.

Your well-behaved dog is welcome (please clean up after him/her) and I'm happy to pooch-sit while you are out and about, if you wish. Crate your dog if you leave/him her alone in the suite. Keep your pup leashed when s/he is not in the yard's fenced in area.

NOTE: Security deposit collected will be immediately refunded after inspection providing no damage has occurred in the suite or on the property. If damage occurs during your stay, please alert host right away so whatever happened can be taken care of. We 'get' that things happen.....normal wear and tear is expected....if something is chargeable, we'll discuss it/don't worry!

Great host and close to TIEC
I was here for the horse show at TIEC. The house was an easy and short drive to the show, as well as conveniently located near the grocery stores and restaurants in Columbus and Tryon. The suite was very clean. Deb was a wonderful and thoughtful host throughout my stay, she welcomed me and my dog and truly made it feel like a ‘home away from home.’

Response:Thanks, Jenny! It as truly a pleasure hosting you and your pup! Congrats on all your success at the horse show!!!! Looking forward to your future visits :)) Deb

Loved staying at Deb's property Really comfortable clean and cozy suite with private bath and mini kitchen with coffee maker, fridge, microwave PLUS lots of thoughtful touches like snacks, filtered water, soft drinks in the suite. Very close to TIEC if you are there for horses, cute town of Columbus that is walkable from the house. If you have a dog, lovely back yard or walks into town too.

What a wonderful stay we had! Deb was a fantastic host! We felt instantly at home and Deb thought of our every need. The refrigerator and pantry was stocked with items that were just right for a quick breakfast or lunch. Deb went above and beyond by providing clean towels and dishes daily and even offering to do our laundry! What a cute little place she has and we would book it again. Our dog had such a good time exploring in the fenced in area. We highly recommend staying here if you want to travel with Fido!

Response:Thank you so much for your lovely review --- I had such a great time hosting you and that pup sure is a good kisser! He is just adorable. It was such a pleasure having you here and I'm thrilled that your stay at Happy Home Farm was, indeed, a happy visit to the Greenville/Landrum area ---- take care and hug that pup for me :)

Deb went above and beyond with local information! Check-in was a breeze and the place was exactly why we needed. When we stayed in, we also had Netflix and Hulu as options for entertainment. Very quaint and cute little place. Bed was also extremely comfortable, as well as the additional blankets and towels provided. We will be back!

Deb’s place was perfect for extra sleeping space for my niece and her family over the long weekend. We were fortunate to have found her place and better yet she was just around the corner from us, how perfect. Having a large crowed in from out of town for a memorial service and Thanksgiving Deb’s place was perfect for us. As my niece put it they were “comfy.” Thanks Deb for the hospitality, we will definitely call on you again. Kim

We stayed a Debby’s place while we have been volunteering at the World Equestrian Games in Tryon. We had a great time and immediately felt at home. The flat is tidy and the furniture is pretty. I personally especially appreciated the bed sheets and pillows which were very comfortable. Debby provided some snacks, drinks and other things you need in a household. Debby is a very friendly and hospitable person. She invited us to a Thai restaurant where we had the best Sushi ever! We would definitely stay at Debby’s place again and recommend it.

Response:Hi, Petra --- it sure is wet here now, lolololol!!! lots of rain......luckily so far the expected wind from Hurricane/Tropical Storm Florence has not hit and I sure hope it doesn't! I really enjoyed meeting you both and getting to spend time together -- it was a pleasure hosting you and hope the rest of your trip to the States is less exciting than dealing with hurricane warnings lol :))))) Talk to you soon!

Deb's hospitality was amazing! Before our stay I asked for dog friendly activity suggestions and she sent me about 15! She kept open and fast communication before and during our stay. She met us in the driveway and showed us around the property as well as giving us advice on great local eateries and activities. She had lots of snacks and drinks available. The place was clean and very comfortable. There was a small fenced in yard in the front where my pup could wander around freely. This was also connected to the deck and would have made a great space for hanging out and enjoying the evening. The beds (even the sleeper sofa) were SUPER comfy! I would recommend this place to everyone passing through. The neighboring town is very dog friendly and has some awesome restaurants and shops.

Response:It was so great having you and your friends and the pup stay here!
