Love our Cottage and Enjoy your stay
Had a wonderful stay for a month, hosts were very gracious and privacy was fantastic.
The cottage was wonderful. Fresh muffins awaiting our arrival, Keurig coffee and lots of fresh towels. Access was super easy and we loved trees turning into fall. All in all it was a wonderful stay.
The cottage was great and Nancy was wonderful. I would definitely stay again. I really liked the inside and it looked even better than the pics. We would certainly recommend this cute cottage to everyone.
We truly enjoyed the property. Off the beaten path, but still close to everything we needed. The only thing I would suggest for future guests is bring house shoes! The heating grate is in the hallway and not the most comfortable thing to step on! Easy enough to step around, though. I would definitely stay again if I find myself in the Charleston area.
My husband and I just wanted to get away for the weekend and this place was perfect. It is far enough out, but also close to town so you don't have to drive a long way to get to sights and stores. The cottage was so cozy and everything was just as it says or better. The property is beautiful and very peaceful.
It was a great stay. We were Just a short drive from the casino. Cottage had waters in the fridge and muffin's. Would recommend this place to anyone and Will definitely be returning
The property was fine, but there was torrential rains and flash flooding near the area. It was a nice place to be ‘marooned’.
This property is perfect. Nancy has it stocked with everything you could ever need, fuffy towels, soft sheets, pots, and pans. It was the second time we stayed here. I didn’t want to leave. There is a lot to do in the area, hiking, shopping, restaurants all within a few minutes drive. We especially enjoyed the fire pit this time. I would go back anytime. You will not be disappointed if you stay here! Thank you Nancy and Ron!
We had a great stay! Everything was just as pictured or better. Only slept in the master bedroom, but bed was extremely comfortable. Amenities provided were above and beyond. Great for 2 people or even a small family of 4. Highly recommend!
Perfect spot to reconnect with an old friend for the weekend. A bit closer to busy road than ideal, but honestly, that wasn't a problem, just unexpected. Cottage was very cute and had everything we needed.
