First impressions were not great. When we arrived it smelled of “wet dog” everywhere in living area. We bought some fabreeze to help but all the cousins seemed damp. Until they dried out about our third day. The “kitchen” was limited to a coffee bar, microwave and a mini fridge in the bedroom area, not ideal but it did all work well. Additionally, there was an obvious roof leak and plaster missing over the couch in the ceiling. There was also chipping/bubbled paint on main interior wall as well. I realize it’s an older house, but it seems like all the floor are uneven and need extensive work to correct. The clawfoot tub/shower was not great. If showering,’it just dumps water on floor around tub. There needs to be an inner liner so water doesn’t further ruin the beautiful floors. The shrubs around parking area really need trimmed back to accommodate all guests. Additionally, it would be WONDERFUL if it were either pavement or concrete to accommodate rolling luggage for guests. All that said, the bed was Exceptionally comfortable! The water pressure was great, the TV worked great with many show options, and the couches were very comfy. Overall we had a nice stay, it was very convenient to the downtown areas which is GREAT! Thanks!

Very quaint old home, first impression was awesome

The area was amazing, the porch was so relaxing with rockers, and a hammock to watch all the visitors walking by, but We were very surprised that there was no door in the bathroom, no storage for toiletries, the shower was very difficult to use.We also knew it was a very old home with lots of creaks but with the other visitors in other areas of the home sleeping through the night was very difficult!

Comfortable Stay

Property was clean and a comfortable suite. We went at a chilly part of the season so was a little cool in the evenings. Be aware that the property is near a railroad tracks and a busy street so if you sleep light it will be a challenge for you. overall a nice stay and the town is very quaint

Awesome Anniversary

We booked the Flowerton Suite to celebrate our 15th anniversary. On our trip we explored Charleston and Savannah, and we loved being able to come “home” each night after a long day of being tourists. The home exceeded our expectations, and the town of Summerville was amazing!

Perfect Stay!

We truly enjoyed our stay in this home. The home was charming and cozy. The little touches were appreciated and the porch is just perfect for relaxing. The location is the best you can walk to grab breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the various downtown restaurants. We took the hosts recommendations and the restaurants did not disappoint! We can’t wait to come back!

Quant and charming

If you enjoy the charm of an older home this is the place to stay, very clean and comfortable. The site manager was very resposive to our questions and needs. Only downside was there is only a small armour to hang your clothing and in the suite we stayed in not much counter space in the bathroom for personal items, but we adapted and enjoyed our stay in Summerville. The house is perfectly located for walking into town.

Unit was very comfortable and quite! The tub is fabulous! There's several restaurants in walking distance. Keurig stocked with half and half, regular and decaf k-cups, sugar and Splenda packs, and both disposable cups and mugs. Mini fridge (no freezer), microwave, and toaster. Notebook with helpful recommendations for restaurants and things to do for both Summerville and Charleston. Laundry facility available for use (shared) - we did not use it during our stay. Thanks for a great weekend!

Comfy and cozy

Very beautiful vintage home! Very good bed and furnishings. Close to everything! The only negative thing we were confronted with, was the driveway and parking area. Very overgrown with a need of a heavy cut back. We drove my husbands vehicle with less than 500 miles, and now he will need to have all of the scratches compounded. Otherwise, I would stay again, as long as I know to ask about the vegetation!
