We loved our stay here!
5.0 / 5.0
Short central cottages are always top notch with comfortable beds and basic amenities for a weekend away. My husband and I have been staying at their properties the three years my daughter has been a student at CSU and it’s always a pleasant and personal experience. They make it so easy to get in and out of the property and are super responsive if ever an issue. Highly highly recommend!

Two things make for a GREAT vacation: 1) The DESTINATION; 2) The ACCOMMODATIONS . Of course, Summerville / Charleston is beautiful and the Schoolhouse Retreat was IDEAL ! Location is close to downtown with Great Host Communication, everything was CLEAN & organized, and had all we needed . The Schoolhouse was pleasing to come home to after a day of "doing the town". Key Word: RELAX !

Perfect Setting
Schoolhouse Cottage provided the perfect setting for our 20th anniversary getaway. Nestled within walking distance of practically anything you’d like to eat or drink but still drive into Charleston to sightsee. Lauren, Megan & Justin go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable while staying with them!

Love Summerville
This is really a beautiful town with wonderful people. My wife and I visited the area researching over 55 retirement communities. Everyone we met was truly helpful and friendly. Planning another trip in the near future and would definitely book another stay. We are feeling really good about one day relocating to the area.

Clean and Cozy
Great cozy cottage with historic details and charm. Clean place to come back to in the evening after excursions in the Charleston and coastal areas. Easy to find and access was simple upon arrival. Also pleased with several of the host recommended restaurants in Summerville.

Beginning the end of summer in Summerville
Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our end of summer weekend getaway in the Schoolhouse cottage. It was a perfect mix of relaxation and discovering a new town. Quiet at night and comfy bed. Thanks for the coffee and cream. Loved that we were in walking distance of everything in town! We enjoyed the farmer’s market and the Sweet Tea Festival. We really enjoyed watching everyone enjoying life. It was refreshing to be in a town where we could feel free again. Enjoyed eating at local restaurants for our meals and could bring leftovers back to warm up later. Also enjoyed shopping at some local stores as well as at the various vendors in town at the festival and market. The backyard outdoor space was relaxing to sip coffee or wine in the evening. Everything was so clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The communication with the property owners was easy. Love the ease of coming and going with keyless entry, park the car and walk everywhere, or simply staying in to spend quiet time together.
Thank you for your hospitality!

Holiday gather with local friends
We rented this beautiful, quiet property to visit local friends for the 4th of July. The schoolhouse is cozy, clean and the bed is very comfortable! The full kitchen is modern with a keriug coffee pot. Cute clawfoot tub in the bathroom. I would highly recommend the schoolhouse! This is our second time renting and will certainly be back!
5.0 / 5.0
Great Stay Downtown
You are literally a hop, skip, and a jump to everything downtown. We were there over the weekend, and we were able to just walk a hundred yards to the downtown market. As for the cottage, it was very nice and cozy. My only complaint is the bathroom is small, but I’m 6’8”, so that’s more me than the room itself. The cottage was great, and we’d definitey stay again!

Charming, Clean, Convenient!
We highly recommend this property. So many great places within walking distance! So cute & clean. We would definitely stay here again!
