Annual Sisters weekend, w/concert @North Charleston Coliseum, was a great respite. Our accommodations were everything we hoped it would be...cozy, convenient and reasonably priced! Farmers Market and shopping were a bonus!

Quaint and quiet

Fri-Sun just wasn’t enough time to spend in this lovely little town in this most welcoming spot. Close to everything and yet everything you needed to feel right at home. I hope our ventures take us back to Summerville and Linwood Cottages.

Private, Quiet and Amazing

I first visited the property 16 years ago. I returned to share it with my husband this time. It's location in Summerville is perfect. Just close enough to ride into Charleston, but far enough and so green with mature foliage it feels like you're secluded, when we needed to rest. We enjoyed homecooked meals on the front screened porch and card games later in the evening on the back screened porch. A frog visited with us too! We enjoyed local fare at Low Country Fish Camp and Cafés in town, checked at the huge pizza at Benny's and we loved the Farmer's market on Saturday morning.We walked, Kayaked and rode bicycles and had great adventures. Having the 1920s guesthouse as homebase was great!The 4th fireworks at Gahagan Park were amazing!We will be back!

Amazing Stay

We stayed at the 1920 house, absolutely beautiful. Loved the history of the property. We were free to walk the grounds of the historic house. It was close to down town. I would definitely go back when I'm in town again. LOVED IT!

Family Vacation

This cottage is juat perfect for our family of 4. It was perfectly located and very close to downtown Summerville. Short drive to Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, Isle of Palms, and etc. The cottage had everything we needed and was a nice and peaceful place tonreat after visiting all tourist sites all day. The check-in and check-out process were a breeze and management was very helpful!

Super cute!

The property was very nice and the house was so charming and so cute! We also loved that it was so close to the historic town. We enjoyed everything about the property, the house and had a very peaceful and relaxing stay. We loved everything about it and would definitely stay there again. It was great! The host and property manager were both very nice and kept in contact to make sure we had a great stay and time there. We also enjoyed looking at the book they have in the house that told you all about the property, the flowers on the property, and the history of houses. Very cool! We also did the walking tour to see all of the other historic places around which was also in the book they had left. It’s such a cute town and the property was amazing. It did not disappoint.

Such a wonderful experience in sweet cottage

I so enjoyed the peace and quiet, lovely SC front porch, and location. Plenty of space and very kind owners. Highly recommend. I booked for two months awaiting construction of new home. Such a lucky decision. Couldn’t have been happier and fell in love with Summerville.

Could Use Alot of TLC

My husband and I recently rented the 1920's guest house in Summerville, SC, for a week. This house has great potential and we really wanted to give it high marks, but sadly it fell short. Certainly it's adorably quaint, and sits in a beautiful garden setting. However, that isn't enough to overlook the problems. Our first morning we were awakened by the sound of the gardner, using a gas engine trimmer on the hedge below our bedroom window at 8:00 a.m. Time to get up! The mattresses are worn out, and should be replaced. There was mold in the shower, lots of sand and dirt under the bedroom rug and the entire house is in severe need of a deep clean. I was frustrated that the porch table was so dirty I had to clean it before I sat down our breakfast plates. The kitchen skillets were very worn as was the limited flatware set. We made several trips to the local stores because it didn't even stock the barest of supplies, so before you go, here is the list: Paper Towels; Large Kitchen Bags; Dishwasher Powder and Dishwashing liquid. We have owned a beach house rental for 5 years, and understand that guests expect to get what is advertised for the money they are paying.

Pretty, but needs lots of repairs

In our opinion: The home was missing a minimum of two smoke detectors. The house needs a thorough cleaning before each renting., ie. pots and pans were greasy, window blinds in bedroom had so much cobwebs, it appeared not to have been cleaned in a long time. Cobwebs also in other parts of the home. The guest bathroom looked un pleasant , ie, caulking done around the bathtub needs to be removed and reapplied by a professional. Some baseboards needs replacing, others cleaned, painted and new caulking applied by a professional. The shower curtain had a lot of mold. We washed it two times in 3 weeks but mold did not come out. It needs replacing. My wife would not use the guest bathroom. We sanitized all usable areas of the kitchen.

Treasured southern cottage

Our family of five with two small children just vacationed at lovely Linwood Inn and gardens in Summerville, approximately a half hour from Charleston, SC. We stayed in the historic 1920's cottage and had lovely amenities, swimming in the large in-ground pool for residents, which is surrounded by award-winning Victorian gardens, playing in the fenced-in playground across the street, walking 4 blocks to nearby town for meals, or bringing ready-made meals to the cottage kitchen. The distinctly southern gardens of the 2-acre estate include a courtyard and formal gardens near the main house, making the cottage serene and quiet sparing the water fountains and trickling coy pond. Our spacious rooms in the cottage were very clean with attractive decor and extremely comfortable beds, complete with all fresh linens and towels. The guest house itself has two bathrooms, two bedrooms, a screened-in porch and screened-in patio, as well as a living room with a fire place. Ceiling fans throughout helped to add a breezy atmosphere for the kids as they played board games and enjoyed each others' company inside the cottage. Linda's literature collection is perfect reading for relaxing on a getaway. We will all treasure Linda and Peter's most gracious hospitality and our very special time staying at a "home away from home" in the Lowcountry. Incidentally, CBS's Sunday morning show aired on July 12, 2015 a television segment, called "Sweet Tea," filmed right on Linwood Inn's wide wrap-around porch which is, albeit, thirst-inducing! Showcasing the town of Summerville and offering a televised interview on the property's estate from a pair of rocking chairs, it's yet another testament to the Shelbournes' always pleasant and accommodating ways. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/lets-raise-a-glass-to-iced-tea/

We stayed in a different cottage but the accommodations were exceptional. Perfect for my family with two toddlers. Across street from a park, pool and endless gardens to explore. We will be back and highly recommend.

Beautiful Cottage in Gorgeous Setting!

My family of five (two adults and three small children) stayed in this beautiful cottage during my sister's wedding. We had everything we needed in the fully equipped kitchen and plenty of room to relax and enjoy ourselves fully! My children adored being next door to the pool and spent many hours jumping and swimming in the beautiful pool. (Which was gated, so I had ease of mind that they couldn't go without me!) I loved the hardwood floors and gorgeous decorating of the guest house. The Shelbournes were delightful hosts and mad sure we had everything we needed. This guest home provided my family a wonderful oasis to escape and relax in the middle of a busy wedding weekend.

We Will Be Back!

I was surprised that we were able to book this spot only three months out for a vacation in June outside of Charleston. And, I'm even more surprised after being there and staying the week! The grounds were absolutely second-to-none, the pool was wonderful (that we pretty much had to ourselves), the house is perfect! Two wonderful porches, and we enjoyed our home-cooked dinner one night on the back porch with our finds from the local Mt. Pleasant farmer's market. Downtown Summerville is extremely charming and I wish we'd had more time to spend there. I enjoyed lovely walks each morning around the beautiful neighborhoods close by as well. I hesitated to write a good review only because I'd like to keep it a secret, but that wouldn't be fair to the lovely owners who took so much time to tell us the best places to visit and eat and to Linda who also took the time to show our kids around the main house and share some of its history. We will be back and if I can't book the cottage or the hay barn at Peter & Linda's for our next trip, I will be very disappointed. Cheaper than a hotel and it really shouldn't be.
