    We had a great time at the cottage. Everything was as stated. The rooms were comfortable and the location was great. Our host was prompt in their responses which we truly appreciated. Kings road was a 15minute walk and the weather was amazing. We loved our Mahjong girls group stay here and will definitely come back.

    The Rutledge Cottage is a perfect 10! It is conveniently located in the historic district, charmingly appointed, clean as can be, comfortable and cozy! Check-in and communication with the host is effortless, fast and friendly. The cottage offers a wide array of reading materials in its little library and a great little back deck. I fell in love with Charleston and plan to stay here for future visits.

    The Rainbow Cottage was perfect for our stay in every way. Location was both quiet and walkable. While there was laundry and a well-equipped kitchen we needed neither but for others looking to stay here those amenities would be beneficial. The two large bedrooms with bathrooms made for perfect accommodations for two friends. The house was very clean, neat and comfortable. I would not hesitate to stay here again in the future.

    The cottage was all and even more than expected! The front yard was so enjoyable:) The cottage was so clean and the beds were very comfortable. Plenty of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel was provided along with beautiful white linens! If staying more than a night or two you’d need to get some more but you have enough to start. A drip coffee pot ( we bought coffee grounds) was provided. We’d stay at this cottage again!

    We loved our stay! It was better than a hotel for so many reasons. In perfect condition, clean, comfortable and spacious. Kitchen had all the amenities we needed, bathrooms were stocked with shampoos and soap (I was concerned since it wasn't a hotel ) Easy location - still needed to drive or Uber to town, but quick to get there. Courtyard was perfect for a small gathering and drinks outside. We came with family for our daughter's graduation but will surely be back for a vacation. Only reminder is to rent a small car - but that would be beneficial for all of Charleston! Thank you for a memorable stay - everyone raved about the cottage!

    Very comfortable and quiet, plus the kitchen was certainly well equipped. We did not use the back porch sitting area during our visit as it was not very welcoming; the area was dirty with leaves and debris, and the furniture was also dirty.

    This was the perfect home for two couples. We each had our own king size beds and private bathrooms. The living room and kitchen area were very comfortable and inviting. The location was very quiet but a short walk to King Street for shopping and restaurants and a quick Uber ride down to all the activity on East Bay Street. I would definitely stay there again and recommend the property to any friends traveling to Charleston.

    We travel with great friends each year for Super Bowl weekend. This year we chose Charleston. The Rainbow Cottage was perfect for both couples. The 2 king bedrooms are a necessity. The beds in the cottage were very comfortable and each bathroom was very clean. We loved the character of the decor and the modern kitchen was definitely a plus. The weather was beautiful during our stay and we enjoyed the deck in the back. The residential neighborhood was a plus with a local market and coffee shops within easy walking distance. Our only complaint was since the weather was so nice there was a party at the house next door and they played loud music on their porch until the early hours the evening of the Super Bowl. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the Stay Duvet staff is easy to communicate with and attentive to the needs of their guests. We would recommend The Rainbow Cottage wholeheartedly.

    We really appreciated the cleanliness, location, and decor. I have a Toyota Highlander and was able to park in our little space wtihout difficulty. It is tight but navigable and accurate for the time the property was constructed. We frequented Fuel and Co-Op for meals on more than 1 occasion. I like to walk so the .4-.5 mile distance to shops on King Street was perfect. We also easily walked to other interesting locations- Paper Canopy, Tiny Tassel, College of Charleston and more. Be sure the front door lock is engaged upon leaving. I think we left it unlocked a few times before checking. Enjoy!
