Awesome!

We had a great time at the Blue Door Cottage. Location was excellent, neighborhood was quiet. The cottage was cozy and tastefully decorated, with the hosts having provided anything you need. And our pup loved playing in the fenced backyard. A++. We'll be back!

Great visit for holiday, family & area recon

Came to Aiken for a few reasons- 1)check out the "Hallmark" Christmas town 2)Holiday getaway gift to each other 3)visit family who've recently moved there 4)do recon on area for friends looking to acquire horse property & maybe a close getaway for ourselves. House was perfect for us & 2 dogs 🐶🐶 Good size, everything we needed like fenced in yard & a great place to do our walks down beautiful Colleton Ave towards town.(45 min to the Aiken library & back) We were able to go downtown, & 15-20 min or so out to the horse country where my cousin now lives. Easy access to 2 Walmarts & all fast food plus the Metro diner that we hit for a quick casual meal a few times. Not to mention the beauteous historic Willcox less than 2mi where we had our "nice" dinner😁 Can't wait to go back & explore again in the Spring!!
