We enjoyed the cottage and the location in Summerville. The cottage was quaint, quiet and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and we enjoyed the opportunity to stroll and enjoy the plants and landscaping. The host was great about checking in with us to see if there was anything we needed to make our stay comfortable.

Excellent place to stay and make forever memories !!
I checked a bucket list this last week staying in Charleston and Summerville. The Bungalow at Linwood did not disappoint. The Bungalow was a perfect place for me and my two nieces that that took off work to meet me in Summerville for a fun filled relaxing weekend. The house and the grounds are beautiful. Walking distance to a wonderful friendly community and restaurants. I highly recommend this property for all your travel needs. THANK YOU for making our trip so successful !!

We enjoyed our visit at Linwood and highly recommend it! Our official greeter, Earl Grey, (a super cute kitty) was very attentive and stopped by for regular visits. We dubbed ourselves “Earl’s Girls”.

We had a great stay at the cottage! My husband and daughter kept telling me what an awesome job I did picking it out LOL! It was quiet, the perfect size for our family, and the perfect place for us to relax after long days of competitive dance and/or sightseeing. Only wish we had more time there. Earl Grey was a wonderful host as well 😻! Thanks for having us and if we’re ever that way in the future, we would not hesitate to stay again.

Perfect Summerville Cottage
We were in town for a wedding and stayed at the cottage for three nights. It was perfect for our family. The check in and checkout process were easy with good communication from the host. The property is so peaceful, beautiful, and quiet. The house was exceptionally clean and all of the linens and bedding smelled wonderful and were very comfortable. The back patio and yard are very secluded and private. We enjoyed having our coffee on the screened in porch every morning. The house truly felt like a home away from home. We have family in the area so we will definitely be re-booking the next time we are in Summerville! Also, we fell in love with Earl Grey!

Relaxation
This property is nestled on a quiet lane next to a historic home. It was the perfect setting to relax in; a peaceful environment after a busy day exploring the area. It provided all of the things we needed as a family to feel comfortable. The property manager was very helpful with questions. The host was a wonderful guide when she provided a tour of the historic home and gardens.

We had a fantastic time at The Bungalow, it was very comfortable, private and within fabulous gardens. Linda was absolutely wonderful and knowledgeable creating a relaxing atmosphere, contributing so much to our fabulous holiday. Summerville is not only a lovely town itself but within an easy 30 minute drive to most local attractions including Charleston. We would have no hesitation in returning, we had such a lovely time there.

We had a great stay at the Bungalow! The place was clean, comfortable and quiet! Earl Gray the cat gave us a tour of the beautiful gardens. Check in was easy and communication was great! The Bungalow was better than staying in a hotel. We had an easy walk to downtown Summerville.

Wonderful stay
The host was very responsive, answering any questions we had. When the AC wasn't working initially, they had a service tech come out quickly while we were out to dinner and got it resolved before we returned. The living spaces, kitchen, and bedrooms made it a much more comfortable stay than a standard hotel room. The gardens were nice surrounding the area, and the girls enjoyed the playground across the street.

Perfect trip
My husband and I were in Summerville in hopes of relocating there after retirement. Staying in the bungalow for an extended time gave us the time and space to do so. Peter and Linda are very gracious hosts and allow you your privacy. I loved the screened porch. They have everything that you need. We arrived late due to an airline change. Owners left the lights on, had a welcoming note, plus coffee and breakfast bread for the morning. We may need to visit again in the fall and would definitely love to stay in the bungalow again.

The bungalow is a great place!
We stayed at the bungalow from the 12th of June to the 19th. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and relaxed! Linda is an amazing owner! The only problem we had (which i'm actually blaming vrbo for) was that we thought both bedrooms had queen beds but its turned out that the second bedroom had 2 twin/single beds. Vrbo had it listed as master bedroom queen and bedroom 1 as a queen and twin/single which was not the case. Linda promptly remedied the situation and apologized for the confusion! Thanks again Linda! Side note: if you are into history and historic homes ask to take a tour of the main house. You won't be disappointed! We definitely will keep the Linwood estate and they Bungalow in our book of places to stay again!

Excellent Stay!
This was a perfect place for our get away. The property and amenities were excellent and beautiful. The pictures were spot on, if anything they did not do it justice. The location was perfect. You could walk to town, a beautiful little town, for plenty of restaurant choices and even Axe throwing. Day trips were Charleston, 30 minutes away and Savannah, about an hour away. Plenty of golf courses to chose from. I could go on, but will not. I am looking at returning with three other couples to share the experience. Excellent Excellent Stay

Southern Charm
From the minute we walked into the bungalow we were struck by its southern charm. Peter and Linda are wonderful hosts who had a fresh flower arrangement, a small bag of fresh ground local coffee and homemade fruit bread on the kitchen island to greet us. The bungalow was tastefully furnished and the gardens on the estate were beautiful. We felt at home walking the grounds nightly. The bungalow is just a short distance from town and we enjoyed walking to the square daily. We had a lovely week exploring Summerville and Charleston.
