About this property

Aiken- Downtown Historic Cottage- Golf, Horses, Tennis, Bruce's Field

This adorable cozy cottage home was purchased in January of 2020, freshly painted inside, and decorated by a local well known Aiken designer from Nandina. At that time it also was updated with all new furnishings and bedding. It has plenty of on- street and some off- street parking, a charming private courtyard all on .5 acre lot. Sit on the porch swings, take a walk to the famous horse district, downtown or to the fabulously popular Wilcox Inn. Its all right around this home's location. Whiskey Road is just a block away which is the main commercial corridor of Aiken. The location just doesn't get any better.
NOTE: Cottage is not suitable for children 14 and under due to antiques, designer decor, glass possessions, etc.
The cottage retains its original 1923 footprint, so bathrooms are modest in size while still offering everything you need for a comfortable stay. The back bathroom has a walk-in shower for easier access.

Fantastic cottage in a great location. We walked downtown in about 10 minutes. This was by far the cleanest Vrbo we’ve rented. They stocked the kitchen with all the things you forgot to pack. The host was great and promptly responded to questions. No doubt we would book this again when we are in Aiken.

Thank you for the feedback, The historic cottage was built in 1923 and due to its age the bathrooms are unfortunately small. We’ll try to make sure guests understand although charming it’s simply not set up for large spacious bathrooms. We have budgeted for a tub removal this year but it will still be set in that smaller space. We can appreciate this might not accommodate everyone’s needs.

This adorable cottage was the perfect landing spot during our ladies with horses trip to Aiken. We kept the. horses at nearby Whitney Barns Group and it was an easy walk over each day. The cottage has a very well stocked kitchen, comfy beds and room to spread out . Wish I had more time on that front porch swing!

Charming House with Great Location

House is in a perfect location and an easy walk to downtown Aiken. House is large and spacious plus fully equipped (and the owner keeps it stocked with some goodies). Only minor drawback was the place could use a couple more pillows. Overall 5 stars and would recommend.
