Private, Peaceful, & Immaculately Clean
I personally clean and prepare the cottage after every guest. This isn’t a quick turnover — it’s a careful reset so each guest arrives to a spotless, welcoming space that feels brand new. My cleaning fee simply reflects that level of care and pride, guest consistently mention how exceptionally clean and well cared-for it is.

Summary: My stay at this clean and quaint backyard cottage was great! Margie was a gracious host and met all of our needs. The location is great if you are looking to stay close to downtown Charleston but not directly in the city as it’s just a short drive away. Would highly recommend!
