This cottage nice and is everything you need for a stay in beautiful Summerville. There's even a small patio and yard out back with a grill. It's located a short walk, about a block, from restaurants and shopping. The host and property manager were great to deal with and communicated their expectations clearly.

Great Christmas Cottage!

My husband and I rented this cottage over the Christmas holiday. My mom lives in assisted living nearby, and we wanted a place that felt like home on Christmas Day. This cottage was an excellent choice! We were able to make a small meal and celebrate the holiday with my mom, daughter, and her partner comfortably in the cottage living room. It was also very quiet and we slept better than we have in a long while. The property manager was also very responsive, even with it being a holiday. We will definitely stay again and have recommended this cottage to other family planning trips to the area. Thank you so much!

Wonderful stay!

The cottage was perfect for our needs. We visited family in the area, so didn't spend much time there, but were able to relax and rest in the evenings. It was great to be close to all the downtown shops.

Perfect getaway close to the center of town

Cute cottage great for a short getaway. Very comfortable and clean. Bed was fantastic to sleep on (firm but not hard). Good environment for even young kids- not much to get into but bring your own baby proofing if you really need it. Close walking distance to amazing restaurants for takeout or eat out. Pretty to walk around and some great parks nearby. Close to Charleston. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
