What a beautiful place. I feel I stumbled on a secret I want to keep quiet. 😉 An incredible secret. Allison and Ron were PERFECT hosts. So very helpful and so responsive. I would never stay anywhere else in Summerville, except their place.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Tuscany cottage. The listing had sounded special but the reality outweighed all our expectations. It’s the best VRBO stay we have experienced.
Allison and Ron greeted us on arrival and made sure we had everything we needed. Later we actually sat by the gorgeous pool and chatted. They gave us great restaurant suggestions. (In fact, when we told the manager we were staying with them he gave us special attention.). Speaking with them made it clear they love the estate and love what they do. That is reflected in the cleanliness and detailed design features.
The location is perfect. A short walk along a beautiful, tree-lined path brings you to the restaurants and shops.
The cottage was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. My husband has a bad back and needs a good mattress, and this bed was perfect.
We will absolutely be back!

This was our third time to stay in the cottage. It is so clean and all of the Finnishes are first class. Ron and Allison are the best hosts! They are so attentive and friendly, just great people.
I'm not sure when we will return to Summerville, but we will definitely always stay at Hearts of Arden.

Our son and his wife stayed here, we live in the neighborhood, and they had a great experience. We were able to join in the Friday Happy Hour and learn some of the history of the property. Their room was terrific, had everything they needed, clean and well equipped. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly. Definitely will recommend in the future

We just stayed 6 nights at the cottage. It is immaculate and very well decorated. It had everything we needed. Then there’s the garden. It is amazing. It is all beautiful. The icing on the cake is how wonderful Ron and Allison are! They made us feel like old friends. We hope to return soon. Ron and Allison made it hard to leave!

This property was a beautiful representation of southern charm. The hosts were overly gracious, friendly and treated us like long time friends. We were very comfortable with the entire experience and will return. The hosts believe in attention to detail down to providing tooth brushes and snacks in the rooms. The hosts have a business plan that will further expand amenities and make the property even more enjoyable

We really enjoyed our stay the Tuscany cottage. We were travelling out of state for a friend's wedding and stayed a little longer to do some site-seeing. After a long day of being out and about exploring Summerville and Charleston, it was so nice to come back to a quiet place to relax. Allison and Ron were very nice and I'm sorry we didn't get to to chat long with them. Would definitely go back and recommend to friends!
8.0 / 10.0
The property was very well maintained and surrounded by history. The only thing I would change would be the pool hours and owner introduction. Not offering an evening swim was very disappointing. This location was very "adult" in location and price, yet felt a little like misbehavior/teenagers were expected. If you are vacationing near Summerville, I would still recommend this property, but not for the pool.

The owners have done many updates while keeping the historic charm of the estate and cottages. We appreciated the pool, comfortable king size bed, and a place to store our bikes. The location was less than a mile walk into historic Summerville. We enjoyed searching for the B.I.R.D.S around town. Close enough to visit Charleston, but far enough away to relax on a beautiful property.

Quiet, peaceful and a quick walk by path to downtown. Cottage was clean and comfortable. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

This historic Summerville property did not disappoint! It’s located within the gated grounds of a beautiful old home that is within walking distance to the charming downtown with lots of shops and restaurants. The hosts welcomed all their guests with a lovely happy hour. This cottage was very comfortable, clean, private and quiet. It was also close enough to enjoy all that Charleston has to offer as well. We would definitely stay here again.

This was our second time staying at Hearts of Arden. Super friendly hosts who are very welcoming. The property is beautifully landscaped with beautiful rentals. Very nicely decorated and super clean. We will always stay there when in the Charleston area. We will be returning in April when we head back north.
