About this property

Charming Barn Getaway

The two-bedroom layout ensures a restful night's sleep, with a queen-size bed in one room and a king-size bed in the other. The living room provides additional space for relaxation. Enjoy modern amenities, a fully equipped kitchen, and an outdoor area. Immerse yourself in the rich history of downtown Summerville, just steps away from your Barn Cottage retreat. Make lasting memories in this cozy haven – your home away from home!

Step into the welcoming embrace of our two-bedroom cottage, where a rustic barn-themed atmosphere instantly makes you feel at home.

In the first bedroom, you'll find a queen-size bed with a coil-wrapped spring core and gel-infused mattress. Pull up a chair to the desk for some quiet letter writing, or simply relax and watch your favorite shows on the 43-inch LED Smart TV.

The second bedroom features a king-size bed with a coil-wrapped spring core and gel-infused mattress, accompanied by its own 43-inch LED Smart TV.

Settle into the cozy living room to unwind with your preferred show before bedtime or treat yourself to a movie night.

The kitchenette is equipped with a fridge, two-burner hot plate, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, and an initial supply of coffee, covering all your basic culinary needs during your stay.

Indulge in a unique bathing experience in the barn-style water trough tub, complemented by a rainfall shower head. Plush bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, and initial supplies of soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, makeup remover wipes, and a hairdryer are all provided, allowing you to leave the little things to us and enjoy a quiet retreat.

If you happen to visit on a Saturday, don't miss the local farmer’s market just steps from your front door, running from May through November.

Amazing Stay

The Barn Loft is a gem in Summerville! I will absolutely stay here again! Between the cleanliness of the cottage and the decor you can’t ask for more. The cottage is within walking distance to many great restaurants and just a few steps to the awesome Saturday farmers market. If you’re staying in Summerville don’t miss the most perfect stay you could ask for. Can’t wait to come back !

Peace and Quiet

If peace and quiet is what you are looking for, you will find it here. We were able to feel like we were transported to the bayou while being a block from downtown and all the action. Great communication from Lauren throughout our stay made sure that we could get any questions answered quickly. Would stay at again if in the Summerville/Charleston area.

Fun Times In Summerville

My daughter has lived in Summerville for almost two years, and I have visited several times. This was my husband’s first time, so we wanted him to have the very best experience. The Barn Loft did not disappoint! Our stay was very pleasant. I love the lay out of the small cottages and how convenient they are to the little shops/restaurants. Needless to say, we will be returning for another stay at this location. All the comforts of home, and then some! Great communication with the property manager.
