Stunning cottage on a gorgeous estate. Highly recommend this beautiful place. Allison was a wonderful host and extremely accommodating. All the amenities you could think of (and then some). Most comfortable bed ever. Plan to return soon.
A must stay! The cottage was perfect for my husband and I. We would absolutely stay here again. The cottage was equipped with everything you need plus some nice touches. The owners swinging by for a quick meet and great was pretty spectacular too!
Our cottage was perfect . The owners were very responsive. They also came over to introduce themselves and make sure we had everything we needed . They do amazing things in a small space to make sure you are comfortable and having everything you couldpossibly need . We would stay here again and we would certainly recommend .
We absolutely loved the property, cottage and accommodations. Allison & Ron were so welcoming and made sure our stay was comfortable and exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend staying here.
The cottage was very sweet and perfectly appointed. The gardens are lovely in a very quiet area of this special little town. Loved it. Hosts were not there but checked in several times.
This was a last minute booking and the posting was intriguing. This is an amazing property and the hosts are so extremely welcoming. If you are anywhere near the area this is a must stay location!
This property had everything that we needed and it was so close to downtown Summerville. We really enjoyed ourselves and would not hesitate to stay here again.
We love this property. The hosts are so friendly and attentive. The property is so well thought out and amenities are above and beyond. It is so peaceful and relaxing.
Of all the VRBO properties I've rented, this was by far the most memorable and absolutely enchanting! I had an opportunity to personally interact with Allison and observed both she and Ron hard at work on the property and have an understanding of why everything is so lovely. It's lovely because they personally attend to the fine details. Their communication was almost instant and they kindness I was shown most unforgettable. When time came to depart, I had the sense I was leaving behind friends. Looking forward to carrying my 87 years young mother down for a visit. After staying here...subsequent and future locations may pale in comparison. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!
This was our second time staying at Hearts of Arden. Super friendly hosts who are very welcoming. The property is beautifully landscaped with beautiful rentals. Very nicely decorated and super clean. We will always stay there when in the Charleston area. We will be returning in April when we head back north.
There are no words to describe how magical this beautiful estate is. Our cottage was spotless upon check in. The grounds are immaculate and Allison and Ron are the perfect hosts. Highly recommend staying at the Hearts of Arden. Canât wait to go back â€ïž
Beautiful historic property within walking distance to town.
This historic Summerville property did not disappoint! Itâs located within the gated grounds of a beautiful old home that is within walking distance to the charming downtown with lots of shops and restaurants. The hosts welcomed all their guests with a lovely happy hour. This cottage was very comfortable, clean, private and quiet. It was also close enough to enjoy all that Charleston has to offer as well. We would definitely stay here again.
This was our third time to stay in the cottage. It is so clean and all of the Finnishes are first class. Ron and Allison are the best hosts! They are so attentive and friendly, just great people.
I'm not sure when we will return to Summerville, but we will definitely always stay at Hearts of Arden.
The owners have done many updates while keeping the historic charm of the estate and cottages. We appreciated the pool, comfortable king size bed, and a place to store our bikes. The location was less than a mile walk into historic Summerville. We enjoyed searching for the B.I.R.D.S around town. Close enough to visit Charleston, but far enough away to relax on a beautiful property.
What a beautiful place. I feel I stumbled on a secret I want to keep quiet. đ An incredible secret. Allison and Ron were PERFECT hosts. So very helpful and so responsive. I would never stay anywhere else in Summerville, except their place.
10/10
We really enjoyed our stay the Tuscany cottage. We were travelling out of state for a friend's wedding and stayed a little longer to do some site-seeing. After a long day of being out and about exploring Summerville and Charleston, it was so nice to come back to a quiet place to relax. Allison and Ron were very nice and I'm sorry we didn't get to to chat long with them. Would definitely go back and recommend to friends!
This property was a beautiful representation of southern charm. The hosts were overly gracious, friendly and treated us like long time friends. We were very comfortable with the entire experience and will return. The hosts believe in attention to detail down to providing tooth brushes and snacks in the rooms. The hosts have a business plan that will further expand amenities and make the property even more enjoyable
