About this property

We love pets and they love our amenities

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.

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This property is a gem! Very close to the charming historic town of Summerville, yet you feel like you are tucked away in a secret oasis. The many walkways and paths are lovely and dotted with sculptures and wooden trellises so walking our dogs was a treat!

Home Away from Home

Allison has a great Vrbo! The cottage is exactly as pictured, and the description is accurate. Downtown Summerville is a few blocks away, with good restaurants and a great coffee shop. Allison is great with communication before and during the visit. George ensured we had the morning paper, graciously allowed us to tour the main historic house, and shared many stories. This Vrbo is definately a return visit!

Great vacation

Summerville was a great place to be able to go everywhere from. We liked being able to get out of the hustle and bustle of Charleston. The cottage was cute, comfortable, and clean. The bathroom upstairs is tiny but has everything you need. Downstairs is more spacious but the only shower/tub is upstairs. Rooms are generous and comfortable. Ideal for a couple, couple and child, or a couple of friends. Grounds are gorgeous.

Enjoyed our stay!

My husband & I visited friends n the Summerville area for a week. Property is n a lovely neighborhood, very close 2 the cute downtown area. We enjoyed staying n the cottage, which was clean & comfortable. We also appreciated that the home was pet friendly. The owners were extremely accommodating, wanting 2 ensure that we had all that we needed 2 enjoy our stay. George is a treasure. So friendly & kind. We enjoyed the tour of his wonderful Southern home & learning first-hand about the history of the house. It was nice 2 b able 2 explore the grounds w/ our dog Cooper.

Summerville Getaway

The pictures for this property were spot on!! The house was perfect for my 81 year old mother and myself. My only complaint is that we were out during most of our stay and pretty much came to the house at night to sleep. We did enjoy tea in the mornings in the porch. The house was spotless and well stocked with everything you would need for your stay. I was also surprised to see beach chairs, towels and beach toys for kids. I highly recommend this cottage house and would definitely come back! Best regards, Evelyn Torres

Great Cottage!

This is a perfect location to walk to Summerville downtown AND access the Interstate into Charleston. Allison and George are wonderful to communicate with and we feel we’ve made a new friend with George! The cottage is well equipped, I’d only suggest you bring a good knife if you are planning to do some cooking like us. There ARE knives, but just basic ones. Our favorite place was the screened in porch watching the rain gentle fall or reading a book or just relaxing with a morning beverage. The gardens are lovely to wander in too! Beds are very comfortable and linens are excellent! Very good washer and dryer too! :-)

Summerville stay

The home had a lot of character. The wife noticed that under and behind the couch hadn't been cleaned in a while. The door leading to the porch sticks and the door knob is about to come off. The lamp near the main bedroom door is broken. The wife also noticed when washing dishes, there was sediment in the water supply. The home needs a thorough maintenance inspection. Everything else was perfect, and the owners were a delight.

Adorable!

Adorable cottage with everything you could need! Plenty of room for the 4 of us staying 3 nights. I loved having 2 bathrooms and a washer and dryer. It allowed us to do our laundry before moving on to the next leg of our trip. The location is perfect and the communication with Allison was very prompt. We loved finding a newspaper in our mailbox each morning from Mr. George. A very special touch. THANK YOU!

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.
