About this property

Tucked away at the edge of the historic district, our Retro Ranch was built in 1961. We fell in love the moment we saw it and immediately began turning it into the shining star it was meant to be.

Our goal in renovations was to keep all the integrity and character that come with a traditional brick ranch, but to do it with fun, modern twists. When you arrive, you're greeted with a rocking chair-lined front porch and a spacious carport. Upon entering the home, you'll find the original stone entryway, (new) vintage wallpapers, original wavy windows, some plaster walls and shiny refinished heart pine floors. Oh, and the sunken living room with french doors opening into the huge fenced backyard!

From there, you'll start to notice the fine touches...The white quartz countertops and cutout 'diner style' window between the kitchen and the dining room, complete with barstools for a true breakfast counter experience. The black and white tiled laundry room with full-sized washer and dryer, the crystal light fixtures peppered throughout the house. And last but not least, our pride and joy: the master suite. Tucked away at the back of the house for ultimate privacy, this spacious bedroom is the ultimate slice of peace and quiet, complete with a large custom bathroom featuring dual vanities, tiled double shower, freestanding soaking tub and private toilet room.

It means so much to us to think of guests enjoying our little labor of love as much as we do and we trust that you’ll help us keep it in great shape for years to come. Please be sure to sign our guestbook before you leave.

Thank you so much for visiting!

Bigger is better !!

Just finished a 26 day stay at the beautiful Retro Ranch. It is our 2nd time staying there and our 3rd booking with John and Erin. We’ve always had a great stay with them. They shoot for 5-Stars and it’s not just talk. They earn them with all the perks you receive with booking their property. We reported to them that the 55 inch tv in the living room broke on Thursday morning and by 6:30 pm the same day we had a new 65 inch tv ready for March Madness. My Pekingese Elsie loves the fenced in back yard. We celebrated 2 birthdays and Easter while staying there and as an avid cook and baker the kitchen had everything I needed. I can go on and on but all the consistent five star reviews say it all. Just book it!!!

Loved this home

This home was perfect for us. Everything we needed was here and great detailed information. Visited for our Grandson’s ‘Recognition and Corps Day” at the Citadel in Charleston and spent most of our time there with a full slate of events. We enjoyed coming back to Summerville to relax. Enjoyed a few local restaurants, especially Oscars. We recommend the ‘Retro Ranch’
