The barn was such a cool place on the grounds of a beautiful historical home. It was clean and very cutely decorated. Plenty of space for the 4 of us. I was a little nervous about the commute to downtown Charleston as we had a few days and evenings that we planned to spend there but it wasn’t bad at all. Very central to everything and quiet on the property.

Great place to stay when visiting Charleston!

Our stay was so comfortable—we met our daughter for a little getaway and had such a great time. We loved the historic design touches and the welcoming living room. The gardens were such a beautiful surprise, and you really felt far from the city despite being minutes from downtown. The communication with the host was quick, and every room was very clean. Would definitely recommend to friends!

The Barn

We had a wonderful experience at The Barn. In the area for a graduation and could not have stayed at a better place. Linda and Nicole (and Matthew) were very responsive and a pleasure to work with. The barn is as advertised and better. It is beautifully decorated and close to downtown. We hope to stay again.

Good location

The Barn is a nice place to stay except that inside it is quite dark. The online pictures are deceiving. Be aware that the upstairs bathroom is very small. Also, the upstairs bedroom could use a full length mirror. ( There are two downstairs.)Otherwise, the cottage is clean and well equipped for a short stay.

Wonderful Getaway in a Lovely Peaceful Place

Everything was great! We quite enjoyed being surrounded by the oaks, perfect Southern Charm and so close to historic Summerville. Clean and comfortable space inside and out. Great gardens to walk through with our 9yr old daughter. The little fairy garden and water surprise was fun for our daughter and her visiting little cousin. Theres even a community playground across the street. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful when needed. We plan to be back the next time we visit our family who lives locally. We even plan to recommend it to our other family who go to visit too. Thank you!

The neighborhood and surrounding areas were beautiful. Check in and communication were easy. Definitely as described and then some!We will be back to stay!

Enjoyable Stay

The converted barn with exposed beams was charming, and the rustic decor contributed to the theme of the barn. There were plenty of towels, and they were of good quality. Also, soap, paper towels, and toilet paper (more than enough for the duration of our stay, which was great) were provided. The only thing lacking was shampoo, but we had brought our own so it wasn't an issue. There was plenty of room in the downstairs bathroom; the upstairs bathroom was a little tight, but certainly manageable. We were there during a very hot stretch of days, so the A/C had trouble cooling off the upstairs loft; closing the curtains and keeping the ceiling fan running kept it manageable. We would have liked to have had a TV in the upstairs bedroom, though. However, we enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay there again.

Really Unique and Great Place To Stay

Great location. The updates to this converted barn are amazing. The barn had everything we needed for our stay and was very clean. We ran into one of the owners who was very friendly. The downtown area is within walking distance and had a number of restaurants. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it.

Great hosts, great location, beautiful grounds.

The Haybarn is situated in the beautiful, serene gardens on the property of the Linwood Inn, which is just a short walk from downtown Summerville. This unique property was a wonderful place for us to stay for four months. The owners, Linda and Peter, along with their friendly cat (Earl Grey), always made us feel welcome!

A Delightfully Unique Experience!

Absolutely LOVED staying at Linwood! Our time here was a cousins reunion and the barn accommodated the 4 of us beautifully. It is located within walking distance to charming downtown Summerville and our favorite spot was Cuppa Manna—great drinks & people. Thank you Linda for your gracious tour of this property—loved the history! Would highly recommend!!

Family trip

In town for family birthday. Found the barn at Linwood a unique place to stay. Easy to communicate with owners and check in was very easy. Pictures and description of place are accurate. Met with Linda who was gracious to give us a tour of the grounds and spoke about the rich history. Linwood is a beautiful little cottage tucked back in the huge trees with moss hanging off the branches. It is a hidden gem. Thank you for sharing your home with my family. Would definitely stay here again in the future!

Amazing stay @ The Barn at Linwood

My husband, 15 month old and I had a great stay at the barn. The host was in communication from check in to check out. We got clear instructions on how to get there, etc. This place is PACKED with character. So darn charming!! The place was super clean and stocked with everything we needed. They even had a brand new pack n play available which was a huge plus. I was able to cook my baby breakfast every morning and prepare my husband and I delicious coffee. It’s located right by downtown Summerville with great restaurants and coffee shops (our fave was cuppa manna). If it weren’t so hot, we could have walked to downtown. We highly recommend this place. Thank you Linda for your wonderful hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by Linda

Peter and Linda have lived at Linwood for nearly 40 years. During that time they have restored, renovated and restructured the elegant mansion and the numerous out-buildings which are situated on the nearly 2 acre, historic estate. The Barn, Bungalow, 1920's Guest House are each unique in architecture but all accommodate four guests with two bedrooms and two baths, kitchens, laundries and lots of lovely living spaces. Some of our guests come for three months of delightful, Carolina winter, others for summer vacations or work related stays. We love our guests. Hospitality is our heart.

Why they chose this property

The Barn is a carefully renovated, architecturally significant building, on the historic Linwood estate. Not only is it extremely comfortable due to a complete restructuring, it is loads of fun. Be sure to see the many photos on our website at Linwood B&B. The beautiful property was the home of the Magnolia Plantation owner, Julia Drayton Hastie. The main house, quintessentially Southern Victorian, was built in 1883. The nearly 2 acres of award winning gardens are also of historic interest. Private tours for guests can be arranged.

What makes this property unique

Comfortable accommodation for exploring the beautiful area, relocating, vacationing near historic Charleston, temporarily working in surrounding area or just relaxing in the gardens after enjoying a short a short, 4 block walk to Summerville's shops and restaurants. Work out center near-by. Owners and or manager are either on site or available.
