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.

This was a wonderful place to stay. It's in the heart of the city, yet secluded and quiet. Lots if things were in walking distance, i.e., shops and restaurants. Beautiful area with a lot to offer! We hope to stay here again.

In town for Graduation
We were in Summerville for our Nephew's Graduation and decided to get a place to stay so our family’s home wouldn’t be too cramped. This property was PERFECT! It is a very short walk to Historic Summerville with all its shops, cafes and restaurants, while also feeling very private and relaxing. It’s convenient for a day at the beach or a trip to Charleston if you are looking to venture out of Summerville. The cottage was clean & well stocked with kitchen items, linens and toiletries. I highly recommend eating breakfast on the back patio, for some serenity!

Mother-Daughter weekend
My adult daughter and I met in Summerville and spent the weekend at this delightful little cottage. It was perfect for the two of us - it was within walking distance of shops and restaurants in the historic downtown area. We enjoyed sitting on the back patio and chatting with a glass of wine. We wished we could have stayed longer.
