October Avail-We love pets and they love are amenities

Welcome to our quaint little cottage nestled in the heart of old Summerville. The cottage is a little over a century old.; and, actually pre-dates the main house. We tried hard to strike a balance between updating the property and preserving its authentic historic charm. The cottage enjoys the shade of beautiful, majestic oak trees whose limbs almost touch the ground. Guests are allowed to tour the gardens next to the main house, built by the Prettyman family when Summerville was a sleepy little town.
The cottage has 2 bedrooms, one with a king-bed, the other with a full bed that accommodates 4 comfortably . Brand-new range, microwave, refrigerator, and washer/dryer . Also, new 4K HD TV's in living area and master bedroom. Kitchen is fully-stocked with coffee-maker ,toaster, blender , cookware, and utensils for those that like to fix their own meals. However, with so many stellar restaurants in the area, dining out is often the best option.

Home until our new home was finished
What a perfect place for us to stay with our dogs until we could move into our new home. The cottage has everything you need and is a perfect location to visit all the wonderful things Summerville has and close proximity to areas of interest. Loved the gardens and beautiful trees and especially the hospitality of Mr George.

Quaint Cottage
This cottage is quaint, and the property around it is very pretty. It is a quiet setting, but yet not too far from the town. The cottage is equipped with everything You need to be comfortable. And it was very clean. The 90-year-old man who lives in the large house next to it is an extra bonus. He is friendly warm and Kind. He loves to talk about the history Of the town, and he gives a wonderful tour of the big house he lives in.

Cockroaches and dirty underwear
When we arrived we were greeted by two cockroaches, one dead and one alive. After walking through the cottage we found someone else’s underwear and other dirty items in a drawer and an article of clothing wedged between the bed and the wall. We immediately left as we were concerned with the cleanliness. The only offer of remediation was to send the same cleaners who were supposed to clean it the first time. I was uncomfortable staying there with my ten month old so we ended up getting a hotel room. The host asked if I had contacted VRBO which I had not and proceeded to tell me VRBO would not allow a refund which was not true. When I contacted VRBO they said it was at her discretion. I mentioned this and never heard anything back. I was very much looking forward to staying here after reading other reviews but would not recommend after the experience we had.

Summerville stay
The home had a lot of character. The wife noticed that under and behind the couch hadn't been cleaned in a while. The door leading to the porch sticks and the door knob is about to come off. The lamp near the main bedroom door is broken. The wife also noticed when washing dishes, there was sediment in the water supply. The home needs a thorough maintenance inspection. Everything else was perfect, and the owners were a delight.

The owners were extremely accommodating, wanting 2 ensure that we had all that we needed 2 enjoy our stay. George is a treasure. So friendly & kind. We enjoyed the tour of his wonderful Southern home & learning first-hand about the history of the house. It was nice 2 b able 2 explore the grounds w/ our dog Cooper.

What a wonderful stay!!
If you're looking for a wonderful location, full of Charleston charm and a comfortable, cozy home--this is it. We stayed for just about a month to visit family and explore the area and this location was just perfect to use as a "home base". The cottage has a wonderful rustic charm and was very comfortable for the two of us. Our host was simply wonderful---this was our first VRBO experience; I can only hope that every host is as thoughtful and caring as this host. During our month there, we had a couple of very small things arise and they were addressed easily and instantly--that was really nice!! The grounds and the main house on the property are beautiful and George, who lives in the main house is just warm and charming man who adds to the flavor of the cottage. I would easily recommend staying here!!

Enjoyed this quaint, historic cottage, which was beautifully decorated on a gorgeous property! As most other reviews have stated, George was definitely a huge bonus and we so enjoyed visiting with him. His warm southern hospitality was wonderful! The location of the property was excellent. The only downside was a distinct musty smell, but I imagine this comes with the territory of staying in an historic cottage.

A Stay That Helped Us Out!
My husband and I stayed at Allison and Johnny's cottage when we had no place to stay because we sold our house and had to move out before our new construction was complete. We were grateful that they accepted pets. Although we had lived in Mt. Pleasant, SC since 1986 we had never spent much time in Summerville which is quite close. We enjoyed checking out all of the great restaurants through downtown Summerville. The AC did break while we were there for a day, but Allison had it repaired by the end of the day that it quit working which we appreciated!

Location great and quiet
Perfect for us and our two kiddos. Location was perfect for where we needed to be and wanted to go. Property was clean, decorated and furnished nicely. Very quiet. Nice to have access to the garden and whatnot. (Tip for families with little littles - I wouldn’t say the inside is toddler friendly - too many tempting and breakable items. Luckily, My kiddos are older.) Our only negative was internet was a little slower than what we needed/expected as husband had to work remotely while there but it wasn’t a deal breaker; he simply used his hotspot and was perfectly fine and set up his stuff in the dining room. George (lives in main house) made sure we had paper each day and is sweet and friendly. Allison (owner/VRBO) is fantastic - prompt to reply to any questions and extremely helpful. Would recommend for a couple, or families with kid(s) maybe 5yr+). Would stay here again for sure next time we visit our family in the area.

Allison has a great Vrbo! The cottage is exactly as pictured, and the description is accurate. Downtown Summerville is a few blocks away, with good restaurants and a great coffee shop. Allison is great with communication before and during the visit. George ensured we had the morning paper, graciously allowed us to tour the main historic house, and shared many stories. This Vrbo is definately a return visit!

We loved the character of the cottage and the beautiful grounds. It was a pleasure to get to know George over our 2 week stay. He truly loves visitors and goes above and beyond to make you feel like you are staying at an extension of his home. The neighborhood is lovely and in walking distance to downtown. We worked during our 2 week stay and had no issues. Our pup loved it too! Highly recommend.

Christmas visit to Lowcountry
We enjoyed our stay very much at this cottage. The owner of the main house (owners father) was very charming and sweet and left the paper for us each morning. Very pet friendly, our pup especially enjoyed the toys provided. Very open outside area. Bedrooms are upstairs, not a problem for us just wasn’t sure if it was listed. It was unusually cold for Summerville during our visit and there was a very big difference between the downstairs and the upstairs. The owner did provide heaters which helped a lot downstairs. Upstairs was very hot so we turned the heat off and that did the trick. I must admit I am very sensitive to temperature though.
