About this property
Just minutes from downtown Aiken and Bruce's Field and Highland Event Center
Enjoy our peaceful country setting with modern amenities just 5 minutes from downtown Aiken and Bruce's Field on a 2.3-acre estate complete with a horse run-in shed with turnout.
The cottage sleeps six with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. In the middle of the cottage is the great room with an open floor plan and high ceilings. This large communal space connects the kitchen to the dining and living area that opens to the outside deck where you can enjoy the beautiful tree canopy, bird song and horses grazing in the background. The atmosphere is relaxed and secluded yet you are only minutes away from downtown Aiken and Aiken’s Horse Park and polo fields.
During your stay you will have access to all modern amenities. The kitchen is fully equipped with brand new appliances. Laundry facilities are in a built-in closet by the kitchen. The cottage has beautiful cedar hardwood floors throughout. Get cozy with an electric fireplace in the living room, a fire pit outside and wood burning stove in the master bedroom.
The Black Sheep Cottage is perfect for equine travelers and for those looking for a unique stay. Convenient location to most Equestrian events. Bruce's Field is only a 5 min commute. Stable View is an 18 min commute.
