This was a “staycation” weekend for my friend because we were dying for some poolside fun. It was just what we needed. The pool was awesome and the pool house was clean and cozy.

We enjoyed our stay at the pool house in Aiken. It was very comfortable with an easy check-in. The decor was a nice mix of old and modern. Wonderful location on an oak-lined avenue near restaurants and gardens. Kitchen was well equipped and we had everything we needed.

I thought it was a very nice stay and the host was responsive. It's a shame that we couldn't use the pool due to the colder autumn weather during our stay but it's a nice space to hang out.Only one problem is that the property was hard to find when we arrived late in the evening in the dark. It is hard to find in general for all our Uber drivers and food delivery people.

The location was perfect. The cottage was very quaint and nostalgic which we enjoyed. The host was pleasant and responsive. It was very clean and lots of towels which I appreciated. Since it was November we did not use the pool, but looks like it would be wonderful in the summer. However as another guest mentioned there is a stale smell that my husband said he got use to…but I did not. My recommendation would be to replace the carpet with hardwood or laminate. I think that may be what contributes to that issue.

Perfect location

The house has so much potential. Definitely old, very neat. Could use some outdoor clean up of the landscaping and walkway. But the location was exactly what I was looking for. Sue was very nice and very responsive.

Cozy little spot

This place was cute and cozy. Very clean and plenty of space in the back to hang out to enjoy the pool. The owner was super responsive whenever I had questions. I would definitely stay again if I’m ever in the area visiting. Only thing is if it’s your first time going to try to get there during the day time. The owner left lights on but the streets are not very lit in town to find the driveway. Town is super cute and plenty of stores and restaurants to check out.

Perfect Location

We are former residents of the community so knew where we wanted to stay to be close to friends, entertainment and church. Although an older property with ‘vintage’ furniture and Kitchen supplies, the house was clean, fairly well stocked, access to wi-fi and cable along with pool and laundry facilities a plus. It was very private and secluded, quiet and peaceful. Bed was comfortable, linens and bath towels abundant and of good quality. A few minor negatives - overhead lighting very dim, tub needed a non-slip bath mat, the numerous throw rugs were a but annoying and somewhat dangerous I thought (rolled up some and put them under the bed). Our biggest negative comment relates to the smell upon entering the house each time - very musty and with fireplace ashes not removed , and maybe a little pet odor. I know that high humidity and a house on a slab lead to some of these problems, but I believe anyone with breathing difficulties such as asthma would have a hard time staying here. Room spray and a scented candle helped, but the odor was always evident when we were away all day and the house was closed up. In spite of these issues, my rating would still be 4 stars.

Thank you for your comments. They are always appreciated as I want to provide the best experience possible. I will relay to my heating and cooling company your concerns. I am on a regular schedule service with my hope everything is as optimal as it can be. Certainly South Carolina in the summer can be humid. I encourage my tenants to reach out with any health concerns they may have so I can best accommodate as well. Mobility included. Wishing you both a safe and healthy summer!

Terrific Aiken getaway

This lovely cottage checked all of the boxes - great location, quiet neighborhood and all of the comforts of home. We appreciated being able to walk into town to grab a coffee, dinner or attraction. Strolling through the historic homes was a treat. In her home, Susan provided everything needed for a relaxing stay. Thank you!

Very cute & clean cottage. The pool is right outside your back door. No much to do around town but we didn’t go out anywhere. We brought our own food and cooked on the grill. It was a fantastic get away! Susan stopped by to say Hi. Highly recommend 🙂

Nice little pool house.

We needed somewhere to stay for a baseball tournament at USC Aiken. This was perfect. Much more comfortable than a hotel for about the same price. Enjoyed the private pool. Used the laundry to wash uniforms. Everything worked just fine.
