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!

This cabin was pristine. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. My dog loved the fenced in yard - freedom from the tie out! I enjoyed time on the porch enjoying the quiet. I wish I could have stayed longer; will definitely consider going back.

A very convenient place to stay while traveling south. Unfortunately, through no fault of the hosts, we had a late afternoon and evening of continuous hard rain. I mention this because, due to the rain, I cannot speak to enjoying the outside area, The pool house, however, was cozy, clean and comfortable. The bed was extremely comfortable. The hosts were quick to respond to questions.

Best little cottage ever!

My daughter, dog and I were traveling from NC to Tampa, FL. on local roads and Kay's cottage was the best place to stop at! Her cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay and a perfect fenced in front yard for our dog. We truly enjoyed our stay. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Our stay was perfect. We stayed overnight with our small dog on the way to the Keys. The home is so very nicely appointed and well done. It was exceptionally clean. The snacks, water and coffee assortment was so very thoughtful. The surroundings are very peaceful. Our dog loved the fenced in yard which also provided a safe place to play and removed any worry. Kay was wonderful to work with and very responsive. It was even better than pictured. I would not hesitate to stay again.

Perfect stay for the night on our road trip

This was the perfect cozy cottage. We stopped on our way from FL to NC and it provided everything we needed. The best part was that it was very dog friendly which was important to us since we brought our girls on the trip. Thank you!

Perfect getaway

This was the cutest place my husband and I have stayed and it being pet friendly was perfect. It was super clean upon arrival and was just as it was listed. It was great waking up to watch the horses and deer each morning in the paddock. The fenced yard was just the perfect size for my small pups.

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!
