Amazing stay @ The Barn at Linwood
My husband, 15 month old and I had a great stay at the barn. The host was in communication from check in to check out. We got clear instructions on how to get there, etc. This place is PACKED with character. So darn charming!! The place was super clean and stocked with everything we needed. They even had a brand new pack n play available which was a huge plus. I was able to cook my baby breakfast every morning and prepare my husband and I delicious coffee. It’s located right by downtown Summerville with great restaurants and coffee shops (our fave was cuppa manna). If it weren’t so hot, we could have walked to downtown. We highly recommend this place. Thank you Linda for your wonderful hospitality.

Really Unique and Great Place To Stay
Great location. The updates to this converted barn are amazing. The barn had everything we needed for our stay and was very clean. We ran into one of the owners who was very friendly. The downtown area is within walking distance and had a number of restaurants. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it.

Great week
My husband and I stayed a week in this lovely rental. It was perfect for the laid back trip we had in mind. The property is beautiful and the owners were very friendly. We enjoyed walking to the historic area for eating and shopping. It was a great location for us for the things we chose to do closer to Charleston. We would definitely stay there again if ever back in the area. I didn’t do any real cooking but we were able to reheat and found everything we needed for some simple meals. The shower downstairs was great!

Family trip
In town for family birthday. Found the barn at Linwood a unique place to stay. Easy to communicate with owners and check in was very easy. Pictures and description of place are accurate. Met with Linda who was gracious to give us a tour of the grounds and spoke about the rich history. Linwood is a beautiful little cottage tucked back in the huge trees with moss hanging off the branches. It is a hidden gem. Thank you for sharing your home with my family. Would definitely stay here again in the future!

Great hosts, great location, beautiful grounds.
The Haybarn is situated in the beautiful, serene gardens on the property of the Linwood Inn, which is just a short walk from downtown Summerville. This unique property was a wonderful place for us to stay for four months. The owners, Linda and Peter, along with their friendly cat (Earl Grey), always made us feel welcome!

Fantastic Experience
Located within walking distance to Summerville, S.C. this home has it all! Rustic home sorrounded by a beautiful lush garden in a private setting.The hosts were friendly and very welcoming. Inviting us into their home and sharing its unique history. Along with ther cat, Mr Grey, they treated us like family. This is a great location to stay as it is close to Charleston, forty minute drive. It’s also close to several historic communities; Moncks Corner and Walterboro to name a few. It’s worth your time to stay here and I can confidently say you won’t be disappointed!

About the host

Hosted by Linda

Host profile image
Peter and Linda have lived at Linwood for nearly 40 years. During that time they have restored, renovated and restructured the elegant mansion and the numerous out-buildings which are situated on the nearly 2 acre, historic estate. The Barn, Bungalow, 1920's Guest House are each unique in architecture but all accommodate four guests with two bedrooms and two baths, kitchens, laundries and lots of lovely living spaces. Some of our guests come for three months of delightful, Carolina winter, others for summer vacations or work related stays. We love our guests. Hospitality is our heart.

Why they chose this property

The Barn is a carefully renovated, architecturally significant building, on the historic Linwood estate. Not only is it extremely comfortable due to a complete restructuring, it is loads of fun. Be sure to see the many photos on our website at Linwood B&B. The beautiful property was the home of the Magnolia Plantation owner, Julia Drayton Hastie. The main house, quintessentially Southern Victorian, was built in 1883. The nearly 2 acres of award winning gardens are also of historic interest. Private tours for guests can be arranged.

What makes this property unique

Comfortable accommodation for exploring the beautiful area, relocating, vacationing near historic Charleston, temporarily working in surrounding area or just relaxing in the gardens after enjoying a short a short, 4 block walk to Summerville's shops and restaurants. Work out center near-by. Owners and or manager are either on site or available.
