Om området

Charleston

Denna stuga ligger vid floden i West Ashley, en stadsdel i Charleston. Vackra naturupplevelser kan du få i området kring Waterfront Park och Riverfront Park, och du kan även besöka turistattraktioner som South Carolina Aquarium och Patriots Point. Gå på ett evenemang eller se en match på North Charleston Coliseum and Performing Arts Center, och avsätt gärna lite tid för att besöka USS Yorktown, en av områdets främsta turistattraktioner som du absolut inte får missa.

Wonderful getaway spot.

This is a wonderful little spot to stay if you want to be close to Charleston but also not in the middle of all the hustle and bustle that the city offers. It was very clean and quiet, while having plenty of space and appliances that if you wanted to stay in for a night and just relax you totally can.

Anniversary trip

To say we were impressed with this cottage is an understatement. From getting fresh-baked cookies and wine at check-in, to getting a whole beach setup when we mentioned going to Folly Beach, Margie and Sid outdo themselves to make sure your trip is memorable! The cottage is tucked away in the backyard, it was very quiet and peaceful when we were there. The location is great! About 15 minutes from downtown Charleston, about 20 minutes from Sullivan's Island and Folly Beach. I wouldn't stay anywhere else if visiting Charleston. Thanks for sharing your backyard cottage with us, Margie and Sid!

Sweet and thoughtfully furnished cottage

This lovely property is a short commute from historic Charleston and offers a fully equipped well-managed little home. I enjoyed the neighborhood and felt warmly hosted while still having full privacy (the home-baked chocolate cookies, yes please!). A delightful stay - already recommended to friends.

Om värden

Sidney & Margie Dudley är värd

Värdens profilbild
We’re both proud to call the Lowcountry home and have been married for 42 wonderful years. In October 2019, we retired our welding and fabrication shop of over 30 years after Sidney experienced a massive stroke and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Today, we’re grateful to say he’s doing well and staying active.

After downsizing from the country to the city, we knew the moment we first saw this property that it was meant to be home. When we arrived, the cottage was just a shell and the grounds were wildly overgrown—but after five years of hard work, love, and vision, our dream is finally coming together.

We both enjoy meeting new people and spending time outdoors. Sidney has a deep love for the Lowcountry swamplands and says any day at the hunting club is a good one. Margie finds peace at the beach or working in the yard and also has a passion for real estate—she’s a local realtor who loves all things home and property. We also enjoy biking and are lucky enough to start our rides right from our backyard.

We truly love this place and feel so fortunate to be able to share it with others. Hosting is a joy for us, and we warmly welcome you to The Backyard Cottage. We hope you choose to stay with us—we believe you’ll be glad you did.
