About this property

Pet friendly country cottage with large fenced-in yard & horses on property

Just a short drive from Charleston or Columbia is a relaxing little cottage just waiting for you. Looking for a mini vacation but don’t want to drive for hours? Get out of the traffic of I-95 and enjoy the slow pace as well, or if you are coming in for a family reunion, wedding or any other reason, we’ve got just what you need. Our Little Red Cottage has two bedrooms, one bath and is fully stocked with all your needs. Plush bedding, full size kitchen and lots of little extras to make you want to stay even longer. Watch the deer cross the horse pasture daily from the kitchen window or sit on the front porch with your morning coffee and enjoy it all. The front yard is fully fenced and the cottage is pet friendly, so you are welcome to bring your fur babies with you. It's a great place for the dogs to stretch their legs and play safely while traveling. We have over 160 acres of planted pines and trails, so just let us know if you want to get out and walk the trails (weather permitting). Book your stay soon!

What an awesome find. This cottage was just ideal. So clean inside, had everything you would need in the kitchen and essentials in the bathroom. Loved the fenced yard for our dog and the fire pit was added bonus! I can't turn down a camp fire. This cottage was a much better option than a hotel room. Waking up and seeing horses outside the window was amazing. Will definitely book here again for our return trip to Florida.

Had such a wonderful birthday stay-cation here! This is a lovely little cottage. No complaints at all. Kitchen was well stocked with all necessary utensils and gadgets. My two little dogs loved the fenced yard, and we spent most of our stay playing outside. Kay was very kind and obviously an animal lover, which was such a plus! The cottage was very comfortable and super clean. I’ll definitely try to stay here again. Thank you!

The host surprised me with some pancake mix and syrup for my stay, and I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay! The house was spotless, and the bed was super comfy! She even had a little sound device to help you fall asleep, if needed. I stayed for a couple of days to do some writing, and the setting was perfect. It was so peaceful. I didn’t want to leave, and neither did my pup! I would highly recommend Kay’s place to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. And the horses greeted me in their nearby field in the morning, too.

This is my 3rd stay, and it did not disappoint. The ease of check-in, the accessibility of the property, the cleanliness, the privacy, and the kindness of the host is what keeps me coming back. I highly recommend this place! Very pet friendly, too. There was a bowl with water for my Coco when we arrived. Sitting out on the porch at night is the best. I will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Kay Holseberg

Host profile image
Welcome to the Red Cottage. I am Kay. My husband, Fred, and I moved out to the country about 17 years ago from Charleston. The Cottage was originally brought onto our property to be the home of my pecan business, Molly and Me Pecans, which I started in 2008 and sold in 2022. We baked all the different flavors of pecans, (the smells were amazing!), as well as packaged and shipped right from that tiny little cottage. I have such fond memories of that time! When I sold Molly and Me Pecans we decided to share the cottage with travelers who wanted a peaceful place to rest with their family or fur babies traveling up and down I-95, as well as locals who needed some extra space for family or friends visiting. I hope you will enjoy your stay here!

Why they chose this property

When we decided to move out to the country I wanted an old house with a few acres. When we drove up to this property, it had an old house with a wraparound porch and I immediately felt like I was home. My husband went out the back door and watched three deer cross the hay field, which is now our horse pasture, and he was sold! We have since had the house moved farther back on the property, renovated it and bought surrounding land.

What makes this property unique

You can see all kinds of wild life if you can stay a little while. We have deer, fox, raccoons, and a variety of birds. We also have horses in the pasture next to the Cottage who love attention and treats. You can sit on the porch in the morning with your coffee and watch the horses graze, or sit by the fire pit and look at the stars at night. Relax and stay awhile!
