My family & I had the pleasure of staying at Gigi’s Cottage. It was a beautiful place and the views of the water were so calming. It felt like home. We enjoyed the hiking trails. The owners were very welcoming and very nice! My husband worked in Augusta and it was not a bad drive for him at all to get to work. Loved that it was gated. My children and I felt safe. Such a nice retreat. We hope to come again. ##### April B.

I spent an amazing 3 weeks at Gigi's Cottage and enjoyed the entire time. Vikki and Scott were so very helpful and kind - they even had snacks ready for me the day I checked in - Super Bowl Sunday! The house was quaint but large enough to relax on the weekends. I enjoyed the walking path through the woods and the visiting wildlife. I especially enjoyed hanging out with the neighbor's cat KK - she was so friendly and made the lonely times more purr-fect! I hope to stay here again when I'm back in Aiken! ##### Deric O.

This cottage was immaculate, well stocked with cooking items and linens. I would say kitchen is the best supplied of all the VRBOs I have used. Tastefully decorated. About 10 miles to Aiken on a non-congested highway. We spent most of our days exploring the trails in parks and preserves and touring the museums and downtown area. ##### Libby C.

The deck was my hangout when we weren't exploring the area and local restaurants. Brandi, Cindy, and Vikki were wonderful hosts great communication. The cottage was comfortable, beautiful and one of the nicest rentals we have stayed in our retirement travels! Thanks again! ##### Keith H. Stayed 49 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela B. 14 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Serene and Lovely Loved the view. Very cozy home. I was not able to access the dock or trail area, since I don’t manage steps well, The dock is on the adjoining property. Getting to the dock and trails, for me, would require descending steps on the back porch. When it wasn’t raining, I did enjoy reading on the back porch that overlooks the lake. I wish address included using exit 18 off of 77. The driveway to property is accessible from Hwy 19. Street address was rather ambiguous. I never saw one street sign identifying Edgefield Hwy. I loved visiting Aiken. This is a lovely place to stay, if you are not physically challenged. ##### Pamela B.

Stayed 28 nights in Aug 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### David D. 5 May 2017 #### Wonderful Lakeside Retreat This lovely lakeside cottage was perfect for four people, and even better for two. Our hosts were right next door, available and helpful. The lake's many moods set a delightful backdrop, with even an afternoon wedding providing soft music and the clink of glasses floating across to entertain us. Everything in the house is clean, modern, and well-taken care of. One very minor point: the deck railing could use bracing at the corner and along its length, as it was a bit wobbly and might present a safety issue for a rambunctious child or over-enthusiastic adult. Other than that, this is a highly recommended place to enjoy South Carolina at its finest. ##### David D.

This property is within 10 minutes - or less - from Stableview and about 20 minutes from downtown Aiken with easy access off of route 20. The cottage is comfortably furnished and attractively decorated and equipped with everything you could possibly need. During the week, I was working on my laptop - the fast internet hookup worked perfectly. We enjoyed the privacy and quiet of the lakeside location as well as the nicely manicured landscape. If the weather had been better, we would have spent mornings and evenings on the deck overlooking the water. Highly recommend. ##### Elizabeth H.

It sits among Pines and a lovely little private lake. The grounds and property are well manicured and taken care of. Anything that is needed while your stay are addressed by owners Vikki and Scott in a timely manner. I can't express how cordial and friendly the owners are and how they make your stay and experience with them a wonderful encounter! I consider Vikki and Scott friends and would encourage anyone who is considering Aiken or Augusta for a vacation or stay to contact them about their "Gigi Cottage". ##### Don C.

It is so peaceful and the surroundings are beautiful. The property is so well maintained and clean. We felt right at home. Great back porch to sit and enjoy the evening or coffee in the morning. Had a great visit with Scott who was very welcoming. It is not far at all from downtown Aiken which we found very quaint with lots of good restaurants. We hope to return someday. ##### Julie G.

The property is very comfortable and has a very 'lived in' feeling. It is very well furnished in the living and dining areas and all possible utensils required for cooking and kitchen use are available. Bedrooms are well furnished and the bathroom/shower facilities are first class. It is located in a remote place, but easy to find. It is a very tranquil location and ideal for a quiet vacation. I would happily return for another vacation there. ##### Seamus R. Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2017
