Back home 4th of July Weekend

I'm a native to Aiken and grew up 2min away from this property. It was the PERFECT location in proximity to my parent's house. Everything was ideal inside the home: cleanliness, signature Aiken horse decor, very thoughtful accommodations, and the beds provided some of the best sleep we have ever had away from home. I loved our stay and hope to stay again!

Family visit

We truly enjoyed this beautiful little cottage. It was very clean and well stocked. This visit back to my hometown of Aiken was to attend a funeral and it was nice to come back to the quiet and comfort of the cottage. The fenced yards were perfect for our two fur babies to run in.

Trotters Cottage for Augusta National Women’s Amateur - April 2025

The property was so cute with equestrian art work on the walls. It was perfect for my family.Cara is a wonderful host on logistics. She steered us to a cute restaurant row called Whiskey Alley. Great for strolling and very family centered.I would rent the cottage again if we get back to the area. Cara - thank you so much for helping me through my first Vrbo rental.Colleen F.

We had to visit Aiken for a family wedding and this was the perfect location for us. We took our pups with us and the fully enclosed yard was fantastic for them. The location is extremely close to downtown with several locations for food and drinks. Highly recommend!

Best experience with a VRBO stay

I was visiting Aiken, visiting my daughter and her family for Christmas plus visiting friends in the area. This home was perfect for myself and my 2 dachshunds. The fully fenced in yard was perfect for my dogs. The home has been well kept, has high end appliances, and enough supplies to last several days. I was enjoying it so much, I extended my stay!! Communication with my host was great. I can't wait to return in the spring. This experience was the best I've ever had with a VRBO stay.

Enjoyable stay in Aiken

The house was nicely decorated and very comfortable. The yard was completely fenced in and that made it easy for us to have our dog with us. They thought of everything one might need for a short stay. Cara was very responsive to any of our questions, we would stay there again.

Cozy, comfortable spot close to downtown.

We enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. It was close to downtown - driving about 8 minutes or less. So many fun things to do in downtown Aiken. The host was very responsive to all our needs and offered lots of recommendations for restaurants and things to do.

Lovely Aiken 2BR close to everything

My family was visiting Aiken as part of trip to take our son from Charleston up to Zirconia NC for Summer Camp. The check in process was easy. House was clean, well appointed, conveniently located, and pet friendly (even though we didn’t travel with our dogs) it’s nice to have options. I would stay at this property again, especially if I’m fortunate enough to return to Aiken for a horse show at Bruce’s Field or to just vacation again in a great town!

We truly enjoyed staying in Aiken this weekend. Cara was a great host and helped with recommendations for restaurants, etc.. The little cottage was clean and well appointed. We were centrally located with easy access to the interstate as well as all the great food and shopping in downtown Aiken. Thank you for making our weekend comfortable.

Cozy cottage!

I stayed for 10 nights in January and was very happy and comfortable even in the cold weather while I was there. Nice bedding, kitchen as well appointed and the two fenced in yards were perfect for my little French bulldog that stayed with me. Cara was available to answer any questions, but I had very few because the cottage had everything I needed. I liked it so much that I’m heading back again!

Not what it was pictured!

This unit has so many problems and safety violations. Multiple safety cords everywhere. Windows painted shut-no way out in case of fire. Floors uneven making walking difficult and doors will not stay open. Bathroom shower head and shower doors broken. Lighting in bathroom poor. Doors have gaps under them letting in light and bugs.Safety lock on back door doesn't work. Peeling paint inside and out. Rental needs a lot of maintenance. Location was good and the beds were comfortable. Will not stay here again. Very very disappointed!

Comfort at Trotters Cottage

4 of us spent a weekend attending the Southern Belle Classic at Stableview and chose Trotters Cottage for our stay. It was welcoming, comfortable (amazing beds!), fully appointed with pretty much everything needed by travelers. Cara was very responsive and proactive. We used gps to find it and went through some pretty rundown and sketchy areas to find it, but that was the only negative. Also, the reference address says 1760, but it's actually 1720.

Very CUTE cottage in horse country!

We were in town for a long weekend trip to shop for horses for my teenage daughter. There were two adults and one teen. The cottage was adorably decorated and comfortable for the 3 of us. We had everything we needed and just enough space for the short amount of downtime we did have. We were in a very great central location for the various farms and venues we visited. Very close to Bruce’s field and downtown Aiken. Checkin process was easy. Bedding was comfortable. Plenty of towels available. Kitchen was well stocked. This cottage will definitely be saved for any future visits to Aiken! Overall a great trip and very adorable accommodations!

Great Cottage

We were in town for a weekend to run a half marathon and to visit some family and friends. It was a great weekend and do a lot to our great accommodations. This house is conveniently located close to downtown and other areas of interest. Nice off the street parking. Inside was very clean, cozy and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything you would need. There are two separate fenced-in areas outside which were perfect for the dogs. One area encompasses the front yard and a large backyard. One of the areas is within a privacy fence that has a fire pit, grill, and several seating areas. Nice place to hang out and have a meal while the dogs can roam. There are a lot of dogs in the neighborhood including one next-door that seemed a bit aggressive, but there is a sturdy and secured fence between the properties. Also, that neighbor was out there often with the dog. This is not meant to be a negative or a deterrent from staying here – just want to make future renters aware as it startled me the first time we were out with the dogs and that dog was out. Host was super responsive and easy to work with. We have already told several people about this place highly recommending it. We will be back to Aiken and will absolutely stay here again.
