Wonderful! My family of four adults stayed in this exquisite historical cottage while in town for my niece’s baby shower. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice as it was exactly as depicted in the pictures and as described on the site. Plenty of space. Comfortable beds, pillows, and sheets. Fully stocked kitchen for all of our needs. Two porches for early mornings or late evenings relaxing. Nice neighborhood with many walking opportunities.Check in was easy and communication was the best! Very attentive to our questions or needs.We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the Aiken area.

Great central location This is an older home with nice woodwork, old wood floors, skeleton key door locks, great porches and decks. The two bathrooms are very nice. The house stayed nice and cool during the hot days. We had seven in our group and it was about right. Close to everything! It wasn't more than a ten minute drive to everywhere we had to go. Right next to a nice garden with walking paths. We are very happy to have stayed there. Thanks!

Great place for girl's retirement celebration Aiken popped up as a middle location between friends in Florida and Virginia so we decided to meet there for a 4 night stay. The Cottage was PERFECT as we each wanted our own bedrooms! The layout was spacious with a lovely outdoor sitting area. The kitchen was great and we appreciated the waters, snacks, coffee available. We were a very short drive to the historic downtown area and walked, and dined, and danced to the music in The Alley Thursday night. The Trolley ride on Saturday (book in advance!) was so fun and we learned so much about the history of Aiken. The point of departure at the Train Museum was perfect. All communication with the hostess was prompt! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Fabulous and Perfect! The house was great and even better with the kitchen on the other side of the house from the bedrooms; the "early risers" could enjoy coffee and morning talks without worrying about disturbing the others. Highly recommend!!!
