Nice place
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.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2023

Very nice and relaxing property.
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.
