About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

We love pets and they love our amenities

Welcome to our quaint little cottage nestled in the heart of old Summerville. The cottage is a little over a century old.; and, actually pre-dates the main house. We tried hard to strike a balance between updating the property and preserving its authentic historic charm. The cottage enjoys the shade of beautiful, majestic oak trees whose limbs almost touch the ground. Guests are allowed to tour the gardens next to the main house, built by the Prettyman family when Summerville was a sleepy little town.
The cottage has 2 bedrooms, one with a king-bed, the other with a full bed that accommodates 4 comfortably . Brand-new range, microwave, refrigerator, and washer/dryer . Also, new 4K HD TV's in living area and master bedroom. Kitchen is fully-stocked with coffee-maker ,toaster, blender , cookware, and utensils for those that like to fix their own meals. However, with so many stellar restaurants in the area, dining out is often the best option.

The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Adorable!

Adorable cottage with everything you could need! Plenty of room for the 4 of us staying 3 nights. I loved having 2 bathrooms and a washer and dryer. It allowed us to do our laundry before moving on to the next leg of our trip. The location is perfect and the communication with Allison was very prompt. We loved finding a newspaper in our mailbox each morning from Mr. George. A very special touch. THANK YOU!

What a perfect place for us to stay with our dogs until we could move into our new home. The cottage has everything you need and is a perfect location to visit all the wonderful things Summerville has and close proximity to areas of interest.

Quaint Cottage

This cottage is quaint, and the property around it is very pretty. It is a quiet setting, but yet not too far from the town. The cottage is equipped with everything You need to be comfortable. And it was very clean. The 90-year-old man who lives in the large house next to it is an extra bonus. He is friendly warm and Kind. He loves to talk about the history Of the town, and he gives a wonderful tour of the big house he lives in.

Cockroaches and dirty underwear

When we arrived we were greeted by two cockroaches, one dead and one alive. After walking through the cottage we found someone else’s underwear and other dirty items in a drawer and an article of clothing wedged between the bed and the wall. We immediately left as we were concerned with the cleanliness. The only offer of remediation was to send the same cleaners who were supposed to clean it the first time. I was uncomfortable staying there with my ten month old so we ended up getting a hotel room. The host asked if I had contacted VRBO which I had not and proceeded to tell me VRBO would not allow a refund which was not true. When I contacted VRBO they said it was at her discretion. I mentioned this and never heard anything back. I was very much looking forward to staying here after reading other reviews but would not recommend after the experience we had.

Summerville stay

The home had a lot of character. The wife noticed that under and behind the couch hadn't been cleaned in a while. The door leading to the porch sticks and the door knob is about to come off. The lamp near the main bedroom door is broken. The wife also noticed when washing dishes, there was sediment in the water supply. The home needs a thorough maintenance inspection. Everything else was perfect, and the owners were a delight.

What a wonderful stay!!

If you're looking for a wonderful location, full of Charleston charm and a comfortable, cozy home--this is it. We stayed for just about a month to visit family and explore the area and this location was just perfect to use as a "home base". The cottage has a wonderful rustic charm and was very comfortable for the two of us. Our host was simply wonderful---this was our first VRBO experience; I can only hope that every host is as thoughtful and caring as this host. During our month there, we had a couple of very small things arise and they were addressed easily and instantly--that was really nice!! The grounds and the main house on the property are beautiful and George, who lives in the main house is just warm and charming man who adds to the flavor of the cottage. I would easily recommend staying here!!
