Spacious and park proximity was perfect location
This is a GREAT spot for a family get together - we had 6 adults and 2 toddlers and a baby. Stepping across the street for play romps in the gorgeous Hopeland Gardens made a big get together with young ones so much easier, and it's just blocks away from historic downtown Aiken. The cottage is so much larger than it looks in the picture - tons of room and bedrooms super comfy. Exceeded expectations and what a fabulous price.

Perfect Spot!
What a great place to stay and enjoy Aiken. The home was very nice with a great set up and perfect location. Minutes from town but located on a very peaceful street for plenty of privacy. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. Likely we will be back again next year!!

Charming Cottage in the heart of historic Aiken
We have actually stayed in this cottage multiple times because it is so wonderful! Clean. Convenient. Well stocked. Across the street from the beautiful Hopeland gardens. Lovely hosts who communicate directly. We plan to return in the fall for steeplechase.

Outstanding Historic Cottage in an Ideal Location
This welcoming cottage is as wonderful as it looks in the photos, very clean and comfortable, and located in an ideal area, steps from the entrance to Hopeland Gardens. The host has paid thoughtful attention to every detail, from the ample kitchen utensils to the snacks and linens. Checking in and out, and communicating with the host, was easy and efficient. This was my family’s favorite Vrbo out of many over the years, not least because it has the most comfortable beds of any place we’ve encountered. I’ve never slept this well on a trip before. The peaceful porch overlooking a magnificent Camellia was an extra bonus. A truly exceptional visit, and we hope to stay here again on our next trip to Aiken. Thank you for making the trip so special for our family!
