What Our Guests say 500 + Reviews

May 8, 2025 10:09:10 PM
Summary: This exceptional property is well-deserving of the consistent 5-star reviews that it continues to receive by other renters. Comfort and convenience are key, we were especially impressed by the beautiful decor and layout that will certainly make you feel as if you had stepped into a luxurious hotel. The sunroom was easily our favorite living area, offering complete comfort and privacy with outstanding views of the lakefront that is literally a few steps from the studio entrance. The steps to the waterfront lead you to a private dock that stores a kayak for two, or as a comfortable perch to drop your legs into the water and take in the show provided by the local wildlife. We made a point to spend time each morning on the outdoor patio (weather permitting), or inside the sunroom with our coffee and light breakfast before heading out for our daily adventures, enjoying the peaceful serenity that this secluded property affords to each visitor in what feels like a heavily-wooded private park. Donna was an extremely gracious and helpful host, ensuring that we had every creature comfort we could possibly need during our stay, as well as providing many helpful tips regarding services that were within walking distance of the property and beyond. Well-appointed and maintained, there is no doubt that we will return to this property when our travels find us back in the Columbia area - Thank you so much, Donna!

Summary: Everything was as described. Donna was a gracious and welcoming host and made sure we had everything we needed for our weekend trip. We enjoyed morning coffee while viewing the lake from the sun room. We took peaceful walks on the path around the lake. The property is conveniently located and within reasonable distance to Baltimore and Old Town Alexandria for day trips.

Summary: The owner / Hostess, Donna, is truly amazing. She is very tentative to detail and ensuring your stay is as informative or secluded as you prefer. The view is fantastic and the Studio is well appointed. Should our travels have us return to the area, we would most certainly make this our go to.

Summary: This is an immaculate place to stay with a hostess that goes above and beyond in her thoughtfulness to her rental and her guests. The view is as beautiful as the pictures. We enjoyed the waterfront patio and three season heated porch with our coffee each am. Quiet and peaceful nights sleep on a comfortable sheets and bed. Thick, luxurious, pure white towels after a hot shower. Highly recommend. The color scheme is soft and well carried throughout. Everything was clean and fresh. There is kayaking on the lake and fishing front he dock. A putting green with three holes. We had people in for dessert after dinner out and they were impressed as impressed with the beautiful space as well!

Summary: We loved our stay at the Waterfront Columbia Studio. The home was beautiful, with plenty of natural light. It also has a perfect view of the sunrise over the water. It was just a short distance from Baltimore and other tourist destinations, and it was within walking distance of several local attractions, restaurants, etc. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. The bathroom was a bit small, but the other benefits of the property made up for that. Donna, the host, was very friendly, responsive, and helpful. She reached out several times to ensure that we were enjoying our stay and to ask if we needed anything.

Summary: We spent four weeks in this studio while undergoing medical treatment. Each day we enjoyed coffee in the sunroom while watching the sun rise and the lake come to life. This well appointed studio was a daily reminder of the joys in this world - from walks around the lake to the beauty of nature to the kindness of others. Our hosts went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, keeping us informed of events in the area, tips for shopping, checking to make sure we had all that we needed, all the while respecting our privacy. Whether for business, pleasure, or anything in between, a stay in this studio is time certainly well spent.
