This was the second time we stayed at this property, although it was a different suite, but just as wonderful as the first! I am familiar with the area since I used to live there, and it is situated in a perfect location for easy access to anywhere you want to go. Very clean and well kept property!

Great Weekend Stay in Summerville
We stayed in the Flowertown Suite during our stay. It is a beautiful properly with unique pieces in a prime location in the town of Summerville. The owners made sure to include all of the necessities to make our stay pleasant. The handwritten welcome note was such a sweet extra touch. We highly recommend this property.

This property was not only stunning and comfortable, but the host was very kind and available for us anytime we needed. We loved the place so much we even stayed an extra day! The location is perfect walking distance from many delicious restaurants, and it was still quiet at all times. If I ever come back to town for work, this is where we will stay every time.

Another Wonderful Stay!!
My husband and I first stayed here back in 2018. We were planning a trip to visit Charleston with some of our friends and we knew the perfect location to stay. So we booked another stay at The Magnolia Historic Inn! It was just as charming and welcoming as it was during our first stay. My husband even said that it feels like our home away from home. If you are looking for somewhere charming, romantic and peaceful - look no further! You will love your stay!

A Great Find!
The Magnolia Historic House was great. We stayed in the Flowertown Suite and found it to be everything we wanted and needed. The space was very clean and tastefully decorated, successfully keeping the southern charm while updating amenities. The location was perfect for our needs; close to stores, eateries, Charleston and our three grandchildren. Lauren was responsive to our needs and always available. I am recommending the Magnolia as the place to rent when visiting this area.

Beautiful property!
Unit was very comfortable and quite! The tub is fabulous! There's several restaurants in walking distance. Keurig stocked with half and half, regular and decaf k-cups, sugar and Splenda packs, and both disposable cups and mugs. Mini fridge (no freezer), microwave, and toaster. Notebook with helpful recommendations for restaurants and things to do for both Summerville and Charleston. Laundry facility available for use (shared) - we did not use it during our stay. Thanks for a great weekend!

Better than advertised. Downtown is a mere few steps away.
The charm, quaintness and integrity of the property is unsurpassed. Lauren, the property manager was there within minutes of requests. Enjoyed Summerville and the welciming social atmosphere it offers in spite of these virus laden tymes. As a host ourselves we are always looking to improve our offering and so our stay here only enhances our own ability to offer our guests the benefits learned upon our stay here..

Comfy and cozy
Very beautiful vintage home! Very good bed and furnishings. Close to everything! The only negative thing we were confronted with, was the driveway and parking area. Very overgrown with a need of a heavy cut back. We drove my husbands vehicle with less than 500 miles, and now he will need to have all of the scratches compounded. Otherwise, I would stay again, as long as I know to ask about the vegetation!

Cozy Retreat
Our trip to South Carolina for the Houses and Gardens tour in Charleston was a surprise get away for my wife as a 4th anniversary gift, and our first experience of southern hospitality with the Flowertown suite was excellent! We were exhausted from our travels and Lauren was incredibly accommodating in preparing the suite ahead of our scheduled arrival. Summerville was a pleasant surprise and we wish we would have spent more time here walking around. But, the surrounding plantations, which are perfect for experiencing the spring flowers, are all very close. The suite is just the right distance to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding areas. We loved relaxing on the front porch and listening to the church bells in the morning. This has got to be one of our favorite Home Aways thus far!!!

Weekend Getaway
My husband and I decided to have a weekend getaway to Charleston, SC. We have used VRBO for several of our trips and stumbled across this lovely suite in Summerville, SC. This was the first time that both of us had ever been to South Carolina and we instantly fell in love with Summerville. Walking into the suite was like walking into your home. Everything was perfect! Megan and her team really go above and beyond to make your stay wonderful! From the personalized note card to the water and sweet tea in the fridge...everything was spectacular! The bed was extremely comfy (especially after our 6 hour drive!) And the entire suite is beautifully designed and decorated. If you are planning on staying here for a weekend trip or a week long vacation, don't even hesitate to book this location! You will not be disappointed!

Awesome Anniversary
We booked the Flowerton Suite to celebrate our 15th anniversary. On our trip we explored Charleston and Savannah, and we loved being able to come “home” each night after a long day of being tourists. The home exceeded our expectations, and the town of Summerville was amazing!
