Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This hidden gem is tucked away, but also in a lively part of town which will meet all your expectations and beyond! Absolutely spotless clean and the hosts make you feel like you are at a home away from home! Tucked away in a backyard garden setting which is breathtaking. Great local food scene less than a 1/2 mile walk with some of the highest rated restaurants in Charleston. Fabulous BBQ at Swig & Swine we walked there twice in our stay for dinner! Short ride or uber to downtown Charleston. I can’t think of even one thing the hosts could change to make the stay any better than it is! 10 out of 10! Avoid the overpriced downtown and STAY HERE! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valerie M. 12 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Stay! The cottage is an absolutely ideal place for 1-2 people to stay when in Charleston. Everything was impeccable! ##### Valerie M.

It was exactly as advertised. Great location, wonderful hosts, and very nice accommodations. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Charleston. ##### Jeff H.

Spent our anniversary weekend at the backyard cottage. The reviews were spot on, Margie has literally thought of EVERYTHING, including fresh baked cookies and a bottle of wine waiting for us! The location was super convenient to everything we wanted to do and see. Hoping to return for future stays! ##### Ronda P.
