Neat spot with quite a history. Loved the cat greeting us every day. Really liked the little paths on the property and hidden benches. Appreciated the coffee maker, but Keurig is always preferred. Needed an extra cover and that was available and easy to find. Is keyless entry possible?

The stay at the Bungalow was one of the highlights of our visit to Summerville. It was quiet, clean and very safe. We had everything we needed. I highly suggest you walk the grounds of Linwood or ask for a guided tour as we did. It was very informative. You are also within walking distance to historic downtown Summerville. Would definitely stay here again.
