Here are the 10 priciest Airbnb rentals in Columbia, including a $1,500 tailgate-ready RV
Waterfront patios, Teslas, hot tubs and game day experiences are among the most luxurious features at a host of pricey Columbia-area Airbnb rentals.
Airbnb has gained popularity in recent years as a way for people and larger groups to vacation in desired locations while still feeling at home. Guests generally have to pay additional costs, such as cleaning and service fees, above the listing price. But in some cases, especially in larger groups, renting a house for a few nights is far cheaper than booking several hotel rooms, and it offers more privacy.
