Nice cozy cottage
This cottage is perfect for a quiet weekend getaway. Everything was clean and the owners add a personal touch to the check in which is nice. The cottage had everything we needed and was super convenient to pretty much everything. Would recommend this place to couples or small families!

Very convenient and good host
This cottage nice and is everything you need for a stay in beautiful Summerville. There's even a small patio and yard out back with a grill. It's located a short walk, about a block, from restaurants and shopping. The host and property manager were great to deal with and communicated their expectations clearly. Will definitely book again when in the area.

In town for Graduation
We were in Summerville for our Nephew's Graduation and decided to get a place to stay so our family’s home wouldn’t be too cramped. This property was PERFECT! It is a very short walk to Historic Summerville with all its shops, cafes and restaurants, while also feeling very private and relaxing. It’s convenient for a day at the beach or a trip to Charleston if you are looking to venture out of Summerville. The cottage was clean & well stocked with kitchen items, linens and toiletries. I highly recommend eating breakfast on the back patio, for some serenity!

Perfect getaway close to the center of town
Cute cottage great for a short getaway. Very comfortable and clean. Bed was fantastic to sleep on (firm but not hard). Good environment for even young kids- not much to get into but bring your own baby proofing if you really need it. Close walking distance to amazing restaurants for takeout or eat out. Pretty to walk around and some great parks nearby. Close to Charleston. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Summerville visit
There is no light - no lamps to read by except tiny bulb in living area large lamp swings over sofa and light from it is even dim. and bedroom. No nightstands. Living area like a dungeon and no way to read in bed without having to use overhead light. Couches have NO back support. One electric plug in sitting area to charges devices - outlets closest to sofa (2) are behind window/door mounted on wall. Traffic noise on that corner would not have been tolerable if not for air conditioners.

Charming Location
Magnolia Cottage was exactly the place my husband and I were looking for during our recent visit to Summerville. We came to visit with friends in the area. The cottage sets back from the road behind the main house. It's very quiet and peaceful. A short two block walk to the downtown area. I highly recommend Magnolia Cottage and would stay here again without hesitation.

Sweet Summerville cottage
Highly recommended! Sweet cottage surrounded by lawn, trees, hedges, with patios on front and back and steps away from parking spots. All amenities you need, with a terrific and responsive host. Great location for walking local paths and parks and the main street shops and cafes. Is on grounds with the main house but is very private. Be mindful that the cottage is downtown and Summerville is a hopping place; you will hear occasional traffic noise and trains (disposable ear plugs provided for light sleepers). We hope to return one day. Thanks Lauren for our comfie and relaxing stay!

Bugs and dirty
There were small ants everywhere, especially in the bathroom. Under sheets mattress pads had hair from previous stay and stains. Innkeeper did come and change sheets, In the corner of one bedroom were empty packets of earplugs, obviously this had not been cleaned . Water barely comes out of shower head. We stayed here about six months ago and everything was spotless and great. Will not stay here again. If the owners want photos I would be happy to send to them.
