    What an incredibly charming guest house! Well appointed, comfortable, close to downtown. The gardens were lovely, even in a chilly January. The heater worked well and it had to work hard bc of the cool weather we had while there! The host was instantly available and directions were easy/accurate. I would definitely stay again.

    We did enjoy the cottage although the furnace was very noisy. We had nowhere to park Saturday night due to a tent function going on.

    The residence was a very nice n relaxing place to stay. Loved the garden areas around the house. Owner was very nice to visit with as well. Was nice to hear about the grounds. Very comfortable n homey. Also loved the front porch(for morning book reading n coffee) and the back sunroom was nice to look at the gardens. Plenty of rum for three of us in the cottage. Would highly recommend.

    We had a lovely experience at the Linwood Cottage. The hosts are wonderful, very attentive and quick with communication. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. The place itself was a slice of heaven. The gardens were beautiful. We will be back the next time we are in South Carolina.

    Annual Sisters weekend, w/concert @North Charleston Coliseum, was a great respite. Our accommodations were everything we hoped it would be...cozy, convenient and reasonably priced! Farmers Market and shopping were a bonus!

    I first visited the property 16 years ago. I returned to share it with my husband this time. It's location in Summerville is perfect. Just close enough to ride into Charleston, but far enough and so green with mature foliage it feels like you're secluded, when we needed to rest. We enjoyed homecooked meals on the front screened porch and card games later in the evening on the back screened porch. A frog visited with us too! We enjoyed local fare at Low Country Fish Camp and Cafés in town, checked at the huge pizza at Benny's and we loved the Farmer's market on Saturday morning.We walked, Kayaked and rode bicycles and had great adventures. Having the 1920s guesthouse as homebase was great!The 4th fireworks at Gahagan Park were amazing!We will be back!

    Fri-Sun just wasn’t enough time to spend in this lovely little town in this most welcoming spot. Close to everything and yet everything you needed to feel right at home. I hope our ventures take us back to Summerville and Linwood Cottages.

    The property was very nice and the house was so charming and so cute! We also loved that it was so close to the historic town. We enjoyed everything about the property, the house and had a very peaceful and relaxing stay. We loved everything about it and would definitely stay there again. It was great! The host and property manager were both very nice and kept in contact to make sure we had a great stay and time there. We also enjoyed looking at the book they have in the house that told you all about the property, the flowers on the property, and the history of houses. Very cool! We also did the walking tour to see all of the other historic places around which was also in the book they had left. It’s such a cute town and the property was amazing. It did not disappoint.

    We stayed at the 1920 house, absolutely beautiful. Loved the history of the property. We were free to walk the grounds of the historic house. It was close to down town. I would definitely go back when I'm in town again. LOVED IT!
