Loved the house and location. Our only issue (and not a terrible one) inside temperature. Back bedroom were warm and toasty, living area to kitchen was very cold.🤔 note sure why. 😉 Thanks, we did enjoy our time regardless 😁

This cottage meets the photos and descriptions—and goes beyond! Extra clean, well-appointed and cozy/comfortable. And the kitchen is well-equipped, plus has snacks and even some staples in the cabinets—a gesture rarely found in rentals. And the owner is very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend this property.

My family of four (two adult children) stayed in this cottage for five nights over Christmas while visiting family. Our family is spread out and we like to travel so we have stayed in plenty of VRBOs around the US. This is easily the most comfortable one we've ever stayed in! Plenty of room to unpack your suitcase, great beds and sofas and outdoor spaces to enjoy, too. The master bedroom mattress deserves extra praise - so comfortable! The location is perfect - quiet with easy access to downtown and steps away from Hopeland Gardens. The cottage was very clean and well equipped (snacks, coffee pods, water bottles, plenty of toilet paper and paper towels) and the hostess was super easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions. We LOVED staying here and will book this cottage every time we come back to Aiken. Thank you, Cae!

The cottage is warm and inviting. It is fully equipped and in a terrific location. I would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend the property to someone else. Communication with the owner was excellent. She is easy to work with and very accommodating. The master bedroom bed is more comfortable than mine at home and I slept soundly every night. I didn’t want to leave!

Beautiful property. Spotless and warm atmosphere. Comfortable beds and linens. Updated bathrooms and amenities. Well equipped kitchen and easy to entertain and cook. The best location for beautiful walks in the public gardens or to downtown for shopping.

We gathered here with friends and we each brought horses with us . The owner was fantastic to deal with helping us find a nearby stable (Whitney Barns group ) to accommodate the horses . We literally could have walked there . The cottage location could not have been more perfect and it was super comfortable . Welcome snacks and even chocolates on our pillows . We look forward to booking here again . No complaints !

This is a really cool, low-key property that is very comfortable. The surroundings are beautiful with Hopeland Gardens nearby. This historic house had everything we needed...nice bathrooms, large comfortable living area, comfortable beds...just nicely furnished in general. Very quiet as well. The host is absolutely great....good communication and quick responses when we had questions. Already looking to re-book this place in the future. Thanks!

We enjoyed our stay and it was very well stocked with what you needed. We enjoyed being right across from the Gardens and walked it twice each day with our dog. The town of Aiken was very cute and charming. Cottage is big inside, it looks smaller in photos. The only complaint I have is the furnace seamed like it needed filter changed and vents cleaned. It was cold and we had to use furnace. We both sneezed when it ran. Other than that, I would say it’s a perfect place to stay. Thanks for being a great host!

We were all so relaxed and in love with this mini pause from the grind. The host thinks of all of the details and even more. Check in was a breeze, even during a hurricane and the house and location are perfect 5+ host and stay.

We were there for rehearsal party and wedding. Cute cottage very convenient to venues and downtown. Our host/owner was extremely gracious. Had our granddaughters over and she took us down to feed the horses on property apples, which was a big hit fo 1 and 2 yr old.

When we walked in it felt like home, the host had been great about communicating with me, even offered to let us check in early if we wanted too. The Kitchen had everything you would need, the host had left us Water, Coffee, Soda, Poptarts, Granola bars and other items we may need. The house is old but so full of charm and has been maintained perfectly, the bathrooms have both been updated and are great, plenty of everything you would need. The owners live next door so if you needed anything they were right there, we did not but it was nice to know that they were right there. Location is very quiet but also close to downtown. This is the kind of house that you would like to stay forever!!! Would recommend this to anyone who wants to unwind and enjoy Aiken.

A wonderful time-capsule of elegance and beauty right in the heart of historic Aiken. A walk across the street takes you to Hopeland Gardens and you are close to everything without feeling close. Owners are great and very accommodating. The estate is immaculate and we felt right at home. Thank you for letting us enjoy your cottage!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at red top cottage. The house was more spacious than it looks from the front. Very well appointed and the beds are very comfortable. Close to the Willcox, shopping and the horse show! Definitely will stay here again.
