Restored servants' quarters for 1812 house in heart of Historic District

The meticulously restored Cottage is a former servants' quarters for this property which has one of the oldest homes in Summerville dating from ca. 1812. The main house and the Cottage have been the focus of over 40 years attention to proper restoration by many fine craftsmen from the historic preservation community of Charleston and the Low Country. The Cottage measures approximately 800 sq' and is approached by its own private paved drive with private parking. Outside the Cottage is a large brick patio surrounded by boxwood, azaleas and camellias and a pleasing water feature. Many magnolia trees and live oaks surround the Cottage which is about 150' behind the main house. The Cottage is completely self-contained with a full kitchen, bath/shower, living room with fireplace as well as a large bedroom with Queen 4 poster bed and sitting area. The living room and bedroom both have high cathedral ceilings. The roof of the Cottage is standing seam tin and makes for magnificent sleep during a rain storm. Guests have been telling us for many years that nothing has been overlooked in the decor or amenities for the Cottage. The kitchen is fully equipped with new stainless appliances and a granite counter top. There is a range, refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, disposal, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, pots, pans, dishes and utensils. The bath has a tiled tub/shower and pedestal sink. Wide board heart pine floors are throughout. Linens are provided and a washer/dryer is available for guest use at the Cottage.

Lovely cottage
Price House Cottage was great for our Charleston visit! Cottage was exactly as listed and more. Loved sitting in the garden for morning coffee and later in the day after visiting Charleston. Loved the character of the cottage. David was easy to communicate with and he was very helpful with any questions. Would definitely stay here again!

I just love this little cottage! Decorated beautifully, located close to town and parks. The neighborhood is just absolutely gorgeous! The cottage I could live in for the rest of my life. The owners were wonderful! The cottage had everything I needed and more. It took a morning and evening walk through the park and into town.

Perfect for our needs
This is a fantastic place. We stayed a full week and had everything we needed. Towels, sheets, full kitchen and laundry. Located close to town and in a quiet neighborhood. Private area with table, chairs, beautiful garden right outside our door. If we return to this area we would most definitely stay here.

Cozy and Quiet
This little cottage was exactly as described and pictured. We enjoyed our stay immensely. It is very quiet and hidden from the street. We picked this spot to be close to Charleston without the hustle and bustle of the city. Even Summerville was a quaint little town. Highly recommend this cottage for a week long stay. Would stay here again on another visit to Charleston. Randy and Glenda

Beautiful cottage with thoughtful amenities
This charming cottage is a the ideal hideaway, whether touring Summerville or visiting friends and family. With a private drive and secluded patio one can enjoy the area with a unusual degree of independence. The hosts, who are wonderful people, have thought of everything - great lighting to enjoy the little library, crisp sheets and soft towels, nice toiletries, and a organized kitchen. The cleanliness and comfort of this cottage are a pleasure and the gardens are the icing on the cake. The hosts have created the ideal get-away.

Cozy Cottage
We stayed at PHC for almost a month, waiting for our new home to be built. As we are Midwesterners, everything about the area was new and exciting. This location did not disappoint! Walks into town for coffee, dinner, the farmer’s market were all 5-10 minutes away. Our dog loved his walks thru Azalea Park, especially once he realized the statues in the park were not going to move! Trips to the Kiawah Beachwalker Park were an easy and beautiful drive. The cottage was stocked with everything we needed, including a washer and dryer, comfortable sitting area, updated bath and plenty of ceiling fans. On the grounds of the cottage the gardens are lovely. The patio and gas grill were used frequently. The noisy frogs initially were quite shocking, but we grew to love them! 😅 All in all we had a wonderful time in Summerville and would recommend staying here!

Charles A., Columbus, OH

Nice furnishings in a quaint, upscale area.
The cottage seemed comfortable, and the owners seemed nice, and the surrounding area is great. But, when we rented the cottage for a month, the owner told me the outside was scheduled to be painted while we were there. Painting would have been fine, however what the owner failed to mention was the cottage was to be going through major exterior repairs including the cedar planks being removed from the structure with power tools 5 days a week, and old paint being removed with SMOKE! They dismantled the smoke detectors in the cottage for the entire month we were there, due to the vast amount of smoke filling the cottage on a daily basis. We finally said they needed to stop the smoke after paying the full balance of the monthly rent (we had nowhere else to go). Again, everyone seemed nice, but the power tools, the noise, the construction materials, and smoke, including the interior smoke detectors being dismantled in an 1812 structure, should have been disclosed upfront.

Cozy Cottage
This cottage was truly a home away from home since I am out of my home due to storm damage. It had everything I needed for a 6-week stay. The atmosphere was exceptional surrounded by beautiful trees and gardens. Located in the historic district, the neighborhood setting is charming and the cottage itself is updated and cozy with wonderful walking trails to invigorate my small dog. A truly comfortable retreat.

David and Jennifer were amazing hosts. We had an evening arrival from Oregon and they were very accommodating to our arrival time. The cottage was exactly what we wanted for the charm of Summerville. We had everything we needed and the cottage was very private. We will return to this property when we visit our daughter again!

The property was more impressive in person with every detail in place. The patio was very cute and a great place for morning coffee, while the cottage maintained enough of its original character and charm. Mr. Price was an excellent host and extremely accommadating. We look forward to a future visit.

Respite at the PHC
I have really enjoyed my time staying at the Price House Cottage. It is well cared for, and a beautiful place to rest and enjoy the beauty of Summerville amid the house gardens, birds chirping, frogs croaking and and rainfall on the tin roof. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone staying in Summerville. Thank you so much David and Jennifer for a wonderful time!
