The Carriage House was cute, compact, clean and had everything needed for our short 4 night trip. Host was super responsive, caring and very accommodating. The small house was easy to access and we really loved it. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

Very quiet and quaint accommodations. Stayed for 28 days to visit with family in the area. Host was excellent, friendly, and easy to contact if anything was needed. The mattress on the bed was perfect and allowed us to get a good nights sleep after a long day of caring for aging parents. Would definitely stay here again!

Care Giving Stay

My husband and I returned to West Virginia from Beaufort, South Carolina to care for my elderly mother for the week. We had a lovely time with her, and when we came home, we enjoyed the cozy cottage that comforted and nurtured us well enough to send us back out the next day rested and reinvigorated Everything from the kitchenette to the TV the Lavish shower off the bedroom and that incredible bed made for a winning combination We enjoyed our stay very very much and hope someday that we may return

Perfect spot for weekend of USA Cycling Road National Championship

Whether you are racing or spectating at the annual cycling race (will be held in Charleston for the next 5 years), this spot is great for any duo wanting proximity to the race venue and downtown Charleston restaurants. Street parking was easy.

Quiet retreat

Carriage House is in a quiet neighborhood with all the amenities of home. The bed was very comfortable. TV was Roku setup. From there it is an easy drive to downtown and the Coliseum. We were able to walk along the river every morning. Only two surprises: refrigerator door is backwards. And, no warning about street cleaning, so we got a parking ticket.

Perfect for us!

The carriage house was perfect! Upon arrival, it was clean offered all the amenities needed, including a washer and dryer, utensils and a smart TV with access to the best apps. The kitchen came stocked with seasonings and spices and they even had the ice trays full in the freezer which made this lover of ice very happy! The bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on, even better than my bed at home! They even took the time to gather brochures and create an entire 3 ring binder of activities to do in the area. Their attention to detail was unreal! Communication with the owner was great. The space was small but they managed to utilize every bit of space in a way that made the home comfortable, enjoyable and feel larger than it was. It was absolutely perfect for the two of us and our small dog. Close to the interstate for easy access to everything we were doing. This will definitely be our preferred and first choice of place to stay next time we visit! Thank you so much!

Loved the quiet setting.

Loved the quiet setting with easy access to interstate. Walkable just north of state Capital. Carriage house had small fenced yard behind main home that was perfect for paws. Was able to provide home cooked meals in small kitchenette during our10 day stay. Will book again in the future.

Cozy and comfortable. Great location!

Our family stayed here for a week while my husband was doing some research at the capitol. Although the apartment is preferable for two people, it was perfect for our small family as our kids love laying out on some sleeping bags when we’re on a vacation. The host is SO accommodating and responsive. Anytime we had a question, he communicated with us promptly. The people who stayed before us had broken the coffee pot (no fault of the owner) and when we communicated this, there was a new coffee pot waiting on our porch in less than 24 hours. The place itself is cute and cozy, and the new king size mattress was heavenly! The tv is a roku tv so there were lots of fun channels to enjoy on the rainy days. The location is super ideal if you want to be right by the state capitol. The neighborhood was very cool and had nice wide streets and sidewalks for family walks with the dog. There’s also a fenced in yard with some patio furniture, where the kids loved sitting out and doing some bird watching. Highly recommend!

Nicely located for Charleston

If you are looking for close proximity to the river walk, restaurants and old WV Charleston, this is the place to stay. It was reasonably priced for a small efficiency. It had all the amenities described and the owners were wonderful and very responsive. We appreciated that since we arrived late at night and in the dark. Thanks for a great stay!
