We had a great stay at this property. We stayed during our trip to the Masters and it was perfect. It is very clean, cute and well appointed. The towels and sheets were very nice! Also, Christina left beverages, snacks and wine which was a very nice touch! Christina was super easy to interact with. Although theoretically you could walk to town, I wouldn’t do it as the road is busy without consistent sidewalks.I would highly recommend this property for 2 people as a great alternative to a hotel.

Pool house luxury

Chris and Dave met us on our arrival. Extremely friendly and helpful to guide us about their property and city. The pool house was very clean with everything we needed and more. They left snacks both in refrigerator and on countertop. They even made fresh cranberry orange muffins and blueberry bread! Amazing! They thought of everything! We sat on our patio and enjoyed the evening. So much better than a stay in a hotel! We were surrounded by so much history in Aiken. Thank you Dave and Chris!

Wonderful Accomendation

I had a wonderful experience. I stayed during the Corona explosion. Chris kept me informed about what was happening locally which I really appreciated. The cottage was just as it was pictured clean, and cozy. The downtown area was conveniently located. I will definitely be back.

Heaven in Aiken

This little back yard cottage was one of the cleanest and COZIEST places I’ve ever stayed. It was so beautiful and comfortable, I did not want to leave the room. This would be my first choice for a return stay. I highly highly recommend it.

Awesome getaway!

Christine was great! She was there to greet us and made sure we had everything we needed. The cottage was perfect! The fact that they are on the most photographed street in Aiken was kind of special. It was really beautiful!
