About this property

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.

Home until our new home was finished

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. Loved the gardens and beautiful trees and especially the hospitality of Mr George.

Enjoyed Our Stay!

Enjoyed this quaint, historic cottage, which was beautifully decorated on a gorgeous property! As most other reviews have stated, George was definitely a huge bonus and we so enjoyed visiting with him. His warm southern hospitality was wonderful! The location of the property was excellent. The only downside was a distinct musty smell, but I imagine this comes with the territory of staying in an historic cottage.

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.
