Unwind in the rustic ambiance of our barn-themed space, complete with carefully curated details. The two-bedroom layout ensures a restful night's sleep, with a queen-size bed in one room and a king-size bed in the other. The living room provides additional space for relaxation. Enjoy modern amenities, a fully equipped kitchen, and an outdoor area. Immerse yourself in the rich history of downtown Summerville, just steps away from your Barn Cottage retreat. Make lasting memories in this cozy haven – your home away from home! 🛌👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨

Step into the welcoming embrace of our two-bedroom cottage, where a rustic barn-themed atmosphere instantly makes you feel at home. In the first bedroom, you'll find a queen-size bed with a coil-wrapped spring core and gel-infused mattress. Pull up a chair to the desk for some quiet letter writing, or simply relax and watch your favorite shows on the 43-inch LED Smart TV.

The second bedroom features a king-size bed with a coil-wrapped spring core and gel-infused mattress, accompanied by its own 43-inch LED Smart TV.

Settle into the cozy living room to unwind with your preferred show before bedtime or treat yourself to a movie night.

The fully-equipped kitchen boasts a fridge, oven, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, and initial supply of coffee, ensuring all your culinary needs are met during your stay.
Indulge in a unique bathing experience in the barn-style water trough tub, complemented by a rainfall shower head. Plush bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, and initial supplies of soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, makeup remover wipes, and a hairdryer are all provided, allowing you to leave the little things to us and enjoy a quiet retreat.
If you happen to visit on a Saturday, don't miss the local farmer’s market just steps from your front door, running from May through November.

Amazing Stay
The Barn Loft is a gem in Summerville! I will absolutely stay here again! Between the cleanliness of the cottage and the decor you can’t ask for more. The cottage is within walking distance to many great restaurants and just a few steps to the awesome Saturday farmers market. If you’re staying in Summerville don’t miss the most perfect stay you could ask for. Can’t wait to come back !

Fun Times In Summerville
My daughter has lived in Summerville for almost two years, and I have visited several times. This was my husband’s first time, so we wanted him to have the very best experience. The Barn Loft did not disappoint! Our stay was very pleasant. I love the lay out of the small cottages and how convenient they are to the little shops/restaurants. Needless to say, we will be returning for another stay at this location. All the comforts of home, and then some! Great communication with the property manager.

Peace and Quiet
If peace and quiet is what you are looking for, you will find it here. We were able to feel like we were transported to the bayou while being a block from downtown and all the action. Great communication from Lauren throughout our stay made sure that we could get any questions answered quickly. Would stay at again if in the Summerville/Charleston area.

Summerville wedding
Flew in from Arizona to see my niece get married and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! The barn loft was so cute, clean and cozy! The bed was so comfortable! All the little touches and extras like the ear plugs and coffee set up with to-go accessories were a great touch! Great location with a walking path close by. The craftsmanship of the whole place was phenomenal. Great job! Would stay again !

Absolutely amazing!
We absolutely loved the Cottage Barn Loft. It was so adorable and we felt like it was our home away from home. The amenities were what we needed. The beds were so comfortable. The barn decor was so cute. We highly recommend the Cottages to all our family and friends. We loved just walking out our door to the amazing Summerville town. It reminds us of a Hallmark movie. All the stores are lovely and the restaurants are incredible. Of course our favorite is the Frothy Beard brewery. We always have to go there when we are visiting. Thank you so much Lauren for taking such good care of us. We love the Charleston South Carolina area. Our son lives in Summerville with his beautiful wife and our handsome grandson. We highly recommend the Cottages. Many blessings and Love! The Jacobsen’s.

Unusual, but cute!!
Barn Loft was cute, quiet, clean, furnishings were eclectic!!! The "shower" presented a bit of a challenge for entering and exiting. Beds were comfortable, but glad I brought my own pillow. After a long day touring, were glad to veg out with Roku. The main parking lot was a bit dark (time change no help). May we suggest some motion lights positioned close to ground, so not to bother neighbors. Give the place a 4.5 ****.* Owners were great to work with!!

A Path to Peace
I can't wait to come back! This home was exactly as described in the listing in every way. It's tucked away in a peaceful area. The walk to the home instantly transitions you to a place of peace. Once you're inside you instantly feel welcome even though no one is there. This is from the personal touches, to the furniture, and all of the essentials you could think you may need or more for your stay. Everything was super clean, neat and cozy. I wish we couldve taken the beds home with us. Lol! We could've stayed in bed the entire weekend because it was so comfy and the bedding just wraps and warms you up perfectly. If you can make it out of bed, you'll love how it's just steps away from great stores, churches and restaurants. I enjoyed walking the area and taking in the beautiful breezes that early December offered. This cozy cottage was a perfect home away from home for my first weekend visiting SC. You guys sure know how to make a lasting impression! Thank you so much!
