Cottage in the Oaks is a restored Historical Cottage from the late 1800’s

Cottage in the Oaks is located on our property, which has 2 1/2 acres of Ancient Live Oak trees. It is nestled away from a neighborhood, with a lot of privacy. The 660 sq foot cottage was refurbished entirely in Feb 2019 and has a full kitchen with a full size stove and refrigerator and has all the amenities you need, should you decide to skip the great restaurants available, and stay in to cook. There is a peninsula that multi tasks as dining and a work station.
The living room has a queen size pull out sofa bed (with a gel foam mattress) and plenty of lighting to read. The bedroom has a queen size bed and full closet (hangers included) , the one bathroom is a large room, with a walk in shower and a full size washer/ dryer.

There is also a full size ironing board and iron for your convenience. The screened front porch is perfect for starting your day with a cup of coffee or ending your day with a glass of wine, overlooking an expanse of yard with beautiful live oaks. We have a fox that visits every night, owls, and a pleathora of birds. We also have had a few unusual visitors, a sheep was visiting for a while until we had it relocated to a better home!

Sweet Southern Retreat

This rental was a sweet surprise. I don’t think the pictures do it justice. The property is a feast of beautiful flowers and plants, birds, and grand old oaks. The cottage is full of Southern charm. The owners’ added extra touches made our stay so very comfortable. I can’t wait to go back!!

Great time! Great House! Great Host!

Even though we visited during hurricane Debby, the house was high and dry. Our Host kept us informed of the local weather issues and what roads were safe. We were able to have a great time and did not mind getting wet.

Exactly what we were looking for!

Having never visited Charleston truly...this was the perfect place to stay! My husband and I had celebrated our 10th wedding Anniversary 2 years ago in Savannah. And after appreciating the architecture and the Beauty of that city, we decided to sit our normal "Birthday Celebrations Week," out from taking the camper this time and playing in the woods to seek and learn and see what Charleston was about. Now saying all that, having never been we were seeking more a solitude get-a-way to retrieve back to after a long City day of exploring...and Marianne and David had provided exactly just that! A peaceful retreat! The cottage had everything you could think of as far as essentials, and it was kept very clean and tastefully decorated. I loved the front porch being able to unwind and enjoy the views of The Live Oaks. And upon departure, we were able to meet both Marianne and David, and they were such a lovely couple! If we were to ever return, we would definitely stay here again! Thanks for the Hospitality!! Kindly, The Albersons

Perfect Place

This was the perfect place for our week visit. The property is beautiful and quiet. The house was clean and met our needs. I slept great on the mattress. Normally I don't sleep well and wake up very early. I slept in for once. Marianne and her family were very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our time there.

From the moment you drive up you’ll just want to slow down and enjoy this lovely property and owners! We are only sorry our stay was so short and busy that we didn’t have more time to relax on this unique and beautiful property! The cottage was perfect with everything you could ask for, super comfortable, beautifully decorated, and so clean! The owners even took out some toys for my son to play with! We would definitely stay here again and will be recommending it to family and friends as well!

Perfect little cottage

The cottage in the oaks was simply perfect! Hidden away in a grove of old oak trees and surrounded by azaleas and cameilas, the site was so pretty and restful. We felt we were in a world to ourselves. The privacy was excellent. Yet, we were convenient to everything. The pretty historic area of Summerville was just around the corner, and plantation row along the Ashley River was just a few minutes away. The host was super nice and accommodating. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for privavcy and convenience!

A wonderful jewel!

The cottage in the oaks is absolutely a jewel. David and Marianne have thought of everything possible to provide you with a wonderful stay in the town of Summerville. We have stayed in more than 20 VRBO properties and this cabin is diffidently one of the finest small properties in which we have stayed.
