Historic Home

We were looking for a place to stay here some of the state parks in this rental fit the bill. Host was very responsive. Place was very clean. Cool to stay in a home that was that old. There’s a lot of interesting history in the area too. Large yard for the dogs. It’s on the Main Street in Society Hill which is a bit busy but quiet inside the house. The screened in porch was a lovely space to eat meals. Would stay here again…

Amazing stay !

The home was truly amazing! A step back in time! Although the location isn’t the closest to food options, etc, there is a gas station right across the street. ( and this was the perfect location for us after heading to Bucees ! Also the property manager was very communicative with everything! If I find myself around there again, I know where I’ll be staying!

Quaint home

We were in there area to visit family and attend a funeral. We needed a place of our own to use as a home-base and booked last minute. We arrived to a clean, cool, and quaint, well appointed house in Society Hill. The host has decorated with antiques and beautiful periodpieces. This is definitely a one-of-kind experience for those that love history. The host had supplied the house with everythong to make us feel comfortable. The host supplied us with bagels/english muffins, butter, cream cheese and jelly, juices, granola bars, instant grits and ice. We purchased eggs and had breakfast each day of our stay. We had everything that we needed, right down to cooled beer mug in the freezer. The kitchen is adequately appointed with dishes, silverware, pans, a toaster, coffee maker, and microwave. The stove meets the period and is a family heirloom. Overall, this is the perfect home for anyone into historical gems nestled in the Northern South Carolina area. If possible, I will be booking this quaint home again when I visit the area. Thank you for a comfortable home-base in our time of tragedy and stress.

This Cottage was perfect for our stay

What a cute, cozy friendly place to stay. The beverages and snacks provided were a welcoming touch. I stayed with a friend and we each had one dog apiece. We were in town for and event at the H. Cooper Black park and the close proximity made for a leisure start and end to each days events. I would highly recommend this cottage and would definitely plan to stay there again if in the area.

Enjoyed our stay at the 1840 Burn Cottage

This was a fun place for my son and me to meet halfway between where he lives in NC and we live in SC. If you like historic houses, this is a real treasure! We appreciated the history of the property and furnishings as well as hearing more about the history of Society Hill and the local area. We enjoy both history and the outdoors, so we explored not only Society Hill, but also the historic districts of nearby Bennettsville and Cheraw, as well as Cheraw State Park and the lovely walking trail across Lake Paul Wallace in Bennettsville. We spent a lot of time on the screened-in porches and the front porch, but also appreciated the spacious dining room for eating and playing games and the TV and living room for watching movies at night. Melissa is an excellent host; she made sure everything was right for our stay -- and she is a great storyteller!

Perfect Historical Cottage Stay

We were celebrating 20 years of marriage, wanted to bring our dog, did not want a hotel or condo, and wanted a quiet setting but still close to lakes, parks, and ocean. Found this quaint cottage with history. The pictures do not do justice. Beautiful mix of history, comfort, and modern touches. The host is fantastic! She communicates, answers questions, gives suggestions of where to eat and what to go see. We were also pleasantly surprised at the snacks, breakfast selections, drink choices, and dog snacks! We will be back and look forward to staying again!

Comfy, welcoming, convenient

We chose it primarily for its convenient location along the route to visit family. We would stay again. The host was helpful and welcoming. The house is amazing in it history, details, beauty, comfort. We travel with our Golden Retriever, who was welcome. There is even a fenced area for the dog to be pit off leash. For us, the place was a winner!

The Only VRBO With Its Own Historical Marker!

My girlfriend and I love staying at historic properties and the Burn Cottage did not disappoint. The photos do not do it justice, especially the high ceilings in the original portion of the dwelling. Tasteful antiques are in every room. The dog run was perfect for our little companion...

Magical step back in time

This home is simply stunning. It has so much charm and history. My husband and I were so curious about the history of the Burn cottage. It’s not often you get to stay in a place so old and yet comfortable and peaceful There was a little too much perfume (especially in the largest bed room, perhaps a rug powder?) but that would be my only suggestion for the owner. The owner Mellissa, was polite and friendly. She, thankfully, allowed my husband and I to check in without assistance. This was so important for us during this pandemic. I really hope the owner will let us come back again! My dog, spouse and I love the home and would love to visit again. Thank you Melissa!!

Great Place to Stay

This is a cozy house with lots of charm. The owner is great to work with: she responds immediately to any questions and is ready to Spring to help if needed. She keeps the house stocked with little snacks and bagels for breakfast - which my kids loved. She even sticks doggie treats for families with pets. Definitely recommend!

Charming

The house was a delight and suited us perfectly. The owner commented that she had a new housekeeper but apparently she hadn’t swept the floors. There was a lot of dog hair, and the bathroom was quite dirty. We found cleaner and cleaned the bathroom and went on to have a lovely time 😊just chose not to think about it. The house is very old and interesting...
