Pet friendly country cottage with large fenced-in yard & horses on property
Just a short drive from Charleston or Columbia is a relaxing little cottage just waiting for you. Looking for a mini vacation but don’t want to drive for hours? Get out of the traffic of I-95 and enjoy the slow pace as well, or if you are coming in for a family reunion, wedding or any other reason, we’ve got just what you need. Our Little Red Cottage has two bedrooms, one bath and is fully stocked with all your needs. Plush bedding, full size kitchen and lots of little extras to make you want to stay even longer. Watch the deer cross the horse pasture daily from the kitchen window or sit on the front porch with your morning coffee and enjoy it all. The front yard is fully fenced and the cottage is pet friendly, so you are welcome to bring your fur babies with you. It's a great place for the dogs to stretch their legs and play safely while traveling. We have over 160 acres of planted pines and trails, so just let us know if you want to get out and walk the trails (weather permitting). Book your stay soon!

Clean, calm and comfortable
We absolutely loved our stay at Kay’s property! The house was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. It was especially perfect for our fur babies, with the fully gated yard giving them a safe space to explore and play.One of my favorite parts of the day was enjoying my morning coffee while watching Kay’s beautiful horses grazing in the distance — such a peaceful and picturesque setting. Kay was also a fantastic host: always friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had.Truly, our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. We can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Best little cottage ever!
My daughter, dog and I were traveling from NC to Tampa, FL. on local roads and Kay's cottage was the best place to stop at! Her cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay and a perfect fenced in front yard for our dog. We truly enjoyed our stay. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Perfect stay for the night on our road trip
This was the perfect cozy cottage. We stopped on our way from FL to NC and it provided everything we needed. The best part was that it was very dog friendly which was important to us since we brought our girls on the trip. Thank you!

Easter Weekend
Perfect spot for visiting our kids and grandkids. We were only 15 miles from them and the cottage was 100% better than a hotel room. It was very well kept, clean and well appointed. Only regret is that we did not find it sooner for our previous trips, but we know now and look forward to returning!

Amazing little cottage!
My family and I stayed on our way home from Florida. This little cottage was truly one of the best VRBO homes I have seen. The decor and cleanliness were perfect, and the home is in excellent shape. Beyond that though were the small details and touches that Kay provided. From snacks and coffee to ample towels and pillows. And the sweet horses on the property were an added bonus my girls loved! We will be back on our next trip for sure.

Kay has thought of everything at this cute and cozy cottage just outside Holly Hill, SC. Luxury linens and towels. Well stocked kitchen and little amenities like bottled water, snacks and toiletries. This is one of the nicest rentals we have ever stayed at.

Haven of Rest
Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Easy access from I-95.Less than an hours drive to Old Town Charleston. We loved it.We plan on staying here next year on our way through.
We had a wonderful stay in this cute, comfy, clean little red house. We didn’t have any pets with us to enjoy the puppy accommodations but we humans were very comfortable there. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area!

Another Wonderful stay.
This was the second time we stayed at Kay's cottage. We stayed on our way to Florida and then again on our way home. It was the perfect place and much better than any motel. It was as pictured and very clean. The beds were comfy and the whole place felt like home. Super easy check in and out. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Kay for your hospitality!!

Excellent Choice
This was an exceptional property. The location was convenient. The unit was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. We were traveling with our dog and found he was very welcome here with bowls and a toy basket. It was nice to sit in the fenced yard and read while he ran around. We will definitely stay here again.

Cute quiet cottage
We loved this place and it was exactly what we needed. We stopped here to rest overnight in the middle of a long trip. We didn't have pets but noted the owner provided dog water and food bowls and even toys for dogs. I'm impressed. The place was cozy, quiet and comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

We stayed in this adorable home for one night on our way to Florida. Everything was as pictured on vrbo. Kay was a wonderful host who made sure we had everything we needed. She left lots of little extras and the home is so comfy. This stop was so much better than staying in a motel. So happy we have rented it again for our return trip home. Thank you Kay!!!!!

Charming, clean, comfortable and cozy! Ideal place to overnight on a long road trip. Kay is a lovely host -- she made us all feel very welcome, including our canine family member. So nice to wake up in a serene country setting with a view of horses. We hope to be back on future travels!
