Cottage in the Oaks is a restored Historical Cottage from the late 1800’s

Cottage in the Oaks is located on our property, which has 2 1/2 acres of Ancient Live Oak trees. It is nestled away from a neighborhood, with a lot of privacy. The 660 sq foot cottage was refurbished entirely in Feb 2019 and has a full kitchen with a full size stove and refrigerator and has all the amenities you need, should you decide to skip the great restaurants available, and stay in to cook. There is a peninsula that multi tasks as dining and a work station.
The living room has a queen size pull out sofa bed (with a gel foam mattress) and plenty of lighting to read. The bedroom has a queen size bed and full closet (hangers included) , the one bathroom is a large room, with a walk in shower and a full size washer/ dryer.
Bathroom amenities include shampoo and conditioner, soap, towels and wash cloths. Extras if you forget an item, tooth brush toothpaste and razors. There is also a full size ironing board and iron for your convenience. The screened front porch is perfect for starting your day with a cup of coffee or ending your day with a glass of wine, overlooking an expanse of yard with beautiful live oaks. We have a fox that visits every night, owls, and a pleathora of birds. We also have had a few unusual visitors, a sheep was visiting for a while until we had it relocated to a better home!
We are located 4 minutes to Summerville town square, 30 minutes from downtown Charleston, 15 minutes to West Ashley, 15 minutes to Cummins, Bosch, 20-25 to Boeing (airport) and 20 minutes to the new Volvo plant

Graduation Trip
We needed a place to stay for our daughter's graduation at College of Charleston and stumbled across this gem! Perfect little cottage with an old school feel but a modern appeal. Highly recommended.

Simply The Best
From the moment you drive up you’ll just want to slow down and enjoy this lovely property and owners! We are only sorry our stay was so short and busy that we didn’t have more time to relax on this unique and beautiful property! The cottage was perfect with everything you could ask for, super comfortable, beautifully decorated, and so clean! The owners even took out some toys for my son to play with! We would definitely stay here again and will be recommending it to family and friends as well!

Perfect little cottage
The cottage in the oaks was simply perfect! Hidden away in a grove of old oak trees and surrounded by azaleas and cameilas, the site was so pretty and restful. We felt we were in a world to ourselves. The privacy was excellent. Yet, we were convenient to everything. The pretty historic area of Summerville was just around the corner, and plantation row along the Ashley River was just a few minutes away. The host was super nice and accommodating. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for privavcy and convenience!

A wonderful jewel!
The cottage in the oaks is absolutely a jewel. David and Marianne have thought of everything possible to provide you with a wonderful stay in the town of Summerville. We have stayed in more than 20 VRBO properties and this cabin is diffidently one of the finest small properties in which we have stayed.

Serenity cottage
This little cottage was spotless absolutely inside and out absolutely enchanting 1800’s little home but you walk inside and it is completely contemporary, clean and pristine and just exactly the way you want a brand new home these days everything was comfortable. Everything that was needed was available, the owners were very hospitable and always responded quickly. It was in a beautiful setting in Summerville just 2 miles from the wedding B&B venue we were going to attend and it was just lovely beautiful large live oak Trees, beautiful camellias, and this spring and summer the promise of an abundance of flowering shrubs, and plants that are currently dormant, but I just know it’s gonna be breathtaking , we enjoyed our stay so much and look forward to having a good reason to return again so we can come back during warmer months and stay in this sweet little college when all is in full bloom.

Coastal exploration
We checked out every beach in the Charleston area along with historic neighborhoods in Charleston. Found great restaurants to eat seafood, played pickleball in Summerville and enjoyed historic architecture in Summerville. The house was in a great location for us about a half hour to 40 minutes to Charleston and area beaches and 10 minutes to pickleball courts and beautiful downtown Summerville.
