We love pets and they love our amenities

Welcome to our quaint little cottage nestled in the heart of old Summerville. The cottage is a little over a century old.; and, actually pre-dates the main house. We tried hard to strike a balance between updating the property and preserving its authentic historic charm. The cottage enjoys the shade of beautiful, majestic oak trees whose limbs almost touch the ground. Guests are allowed to tour the gardens next to the main house, built by the Prettyman family when Summerville was a sleepy little town.
The cottage has 2 bedrooms, one with a king-bed, the other with a full bed that accommodates 4 comfortably . Brand-new range, microwave, refrigerator, and washer/dryer . Also, new 4K HD TV's in living area and master bedroom. Kitchen is fully-stocked with coffee-maker ,toaster, blender , cookware, and utensils for those that like to fix their own meals. However, with so many stellar restaurants in the area, dining out is often the best option.

Home until our new home was finished

What a perfect place for us to stay with our dogs until we could move into our new home. The cottage has everything you need and is a perfect location to visit all the wonderful things Summerville has and close proximity to areas of interest. Loved the gardens and beautiful trees and especially the hospitality of Mr George.

Adorable!

Adorable cottage with everything you could need! Plenty of room for the 4 of us staying 3 nights. I loved having 2 bathrooms and a washer and dryer. It allowed us to do our laundry before moving on to the next leg of our trip. The location is perfect and the communication with Allison was very prompt. We loved finding a newspaper in our mailbox each morning from Mr. George. A very special touch. THANK YOU!

Enjoyed Our Stay!

Enjoyed this quaint, historic cottage, which was beautifully decorated on a gorgeous property! As most other reviews have stated, George was definitely a huge bonus and we so enjoyed visiting with him. His warm southern hospitality was wonderful! The location of the property was excellent. The only downside was a distinct musty smell, but I imagine this comes with the territory of staying in an historic cottage.

Quaint Cottage

This cottage is quaint, and the property around it is very pretty. It is a quiet setting, but yet not too far from the town. The cottage is equipped with everything You need to be comfortable. And it was very clean. The 90-year-old man who lives in the large house next to it is an extra bonus. He is friendly warm and Kind. He loves to talk about the history Of the town, and he gives a wonderful tour of the big house he lives in.

We enjoyed the tour of his wonderful Southern home & learning first-hand about the history of the house. It was nice 2 b able 2 explore the grounds w/ our dog Cooper.

What a wonderful stay!!

If you're looking for a wonderful location, full of Charleston charm and a comfortable, cozy home--this is it. We stayed for just about a month to visit family and explore the area and this location was just perfect to use as a "home base". The cottage has a wonderful rustic charm and was very comfortable for the two of us. Our host was simply wonderful---this was our first VRBO experience; I can only hope that every host is as thoughtful and caring as this host. During our month there, we had a couple of very small things arise and they were addressed easily and instantly--that was really nice!! The grounds and the main house on the property are beautiful and George, who lives in the main house is just warm and charming man who adds to the flavor of the cottage. I would easily recommend staying here!!

A Stay That Helped Us Out!

My husband and I stayed at Allison and Johnny's cottage when we had no place to stay because we sold our house and had to move out before our new construction was complete. We were grateful that they accepted pets. Although we had lived in Mt. Pleasant, SC since 1986 we had never spent much time in Summerville which is quite close. We enjoyed checking out all of the great restaurants through downtown Summerville. The AC did break while we were there for a day, but Allison had it repaired by the end of the day that it quit working which we appreciated!

Location great and quiet

Perfect for us and our two kiddos. Location was perfect for where we needed to be and wanted to go. Property was clean, decorated and furnished nicely. Very quiet. Nice to have access to the garden and whatnot. (Tip for families with little littles - I wouldn’t say the inside is toddler friendly - too many tempting and breakable items. Luckily, My kiddos are older.) Our only negative was internet was a little slower than what we needed/expected as husband had to work remotely while there but it wasn’t a deal breaker; he simply used his hotspot and was perfectly fine and set up his stuff in the dining room. George (lives in main house) made sure we had paper each day and is sweet and friendly. Allison (owner/VRBO) is fantastic - prompt to reply to any questions and extremely helpful. Would recommend for a couple, or families with kid(s) maybe 5yr+). Would stay here again for sure next time we visit our family in the area.
