Johnstone-Rutherford Cottage

Located precisely between Newberry College and the Newberry Opera house, the Johnstone-Rutherford Cottage places you within a 10 minute walk or less of either the main college campus or the opera house.

The cottage is part of the Johnstone-Rutherford House complex built by the renowned builder Cam Davis, known for his historic homes here in Newberry and his work at the Biltmore Mansion in Asheville, NC. The cottage has been updated providing historic charm (it roughly 100 years old) with a touch of modern conveniences.

Enjoy a large bedroom with a king size bed and a spacious living room for relaxing between activities in historic Newberry and Newberry College. The cottage also provides a full kitchen and washer/dryer for your convenience.

Tv and internet are provided in both main rooms. The kitchen has a full array of cooking elements for your use.

Both rooms in the cottage have individual air conditioning (not window units, but wall units close to the ceiling, European ductless style). Additionally, each room has a natural gas wall unit should you need heat. Set these to suit your comfort level. The bathroom provides a pace heater as well.

There is an electric blanket (winter only) for the king size bed should you choose to use it.

Hiding under the carpet were old wood floors as you would expect. We love them. And under the ceiling tile, old wood ceilings.

Please be aware that the ‘crib’ is actually a pack-n-play and is typically available and in the bedroom closet. However, if you need it please make us aware so that we can make sure the unit is in the cottage.
Guest access
Guest have the entire cottage to themselves. The cottage is surrounded by a white picket fence and sits directly across the Newberry College Teaching/Education facility.
Other things to note
Don and Laura live in the Johnstone-Rutherford home adjacent to the cottage. This home is being restored to its original beauty. It will soon be a painted lady! Perhaps the first full painted lady in Newberry.
