Summerville’s Tiny Oak Hideaway

🍃 Welcome to the enchanting "Tiny Oak Cottage" nestled in the heart of historic downtown Summerville, SC! This cozy haven is tailor-made for couples seeking an intimate retreat or solo travelers looking for a snug spot to unwind. Despite its size, Tiny Oak Cottage packs a punch in charm and comfort, offering a unique and inviting space. Immerse yourself in a blend of historic charm and modern comfort with completely updated amenities that ensure a memorable stay in our beloved hometown. Within easy walking distance, you'll find an array of shops, restaurants, and the iconic Sweet Tea mug. Plus, with Charleston just 22 miles away, and a selection of beautiful islands and beaches within reach, your Lowcountry adventure awaits.🌳✨

Step inside this studio-style cottage, where a queen-size bed takes center stage, surrounded by a plush couch. The retreat continues with a small full-size kitchen, ideal for preparing meals during your stay, and a designated workspace with a desk. Two charming barn-style doors separate the main room from the full-size bathroom, complete with a stand-up shower. Tiny Oak Cottage invites you to experience the best of both worlds – a cozy haven in the heart of Summerville and easy access to the treasures of the Lowcountry. 🌳✨

Our goal is to make your stay effortless – just bring yourself, and we'll take care of the little things, allowing you to relish a quiet retreat.
If your visit falls on a Saturday, explore the local farmer's market just steps from your front door, operating May through Nov.

Enjoy the exclusive use of the entire cottage during your stay. Additionally, guests are welcome to explore and relax in the various charming sitting areas scattered throughout the property. Unwind and soak up the atmosphere while making use of our shared charcoal grill area for delightful outdoor gatherings. Your comfort and enjoyment are our top priorities!

Please note to ensure all guests have a peaceful, safe, and secure stay, we have added security cameras located on the exterior of the home. The devices are located on the four corners of our property and monitor the exterior activities of the home, including the driveway and all walkways.

What an amazing stay!
If you are even considering staying at the Tiny Oak Cottage, let this review serve as encouragement to take the plunge - you won't regret it! Summerville is such a beautiful little town and my wife and I loved exploring the restaurants and shops all around. Communication with our host was amazing and we truly felt that we were valued as guests. Fingers crossed that we will be back visiting again soon!

Perfect vacation in a nestled location
This place was great! It was small and nestled in with some other small properties, but large enough for me and my wife to feel like we weren't cramped. It's located really close to some shops within walking distance, and close enough to Charleston that we didn't feel like we had a long drive. We loved staying in Summerville and will definitely be looking to stay here again!

Best experience!
Best experience! Lauren, the innkeeper, and the hosts were so accommodating, especially given the trials of the pandemic. We were able to postpone almost a year, and so appreciate their compassion and understanding. The property was spotless and perfectly located; all details for inside and outside living were well thought out, even the cute cat! Bed was very comfortable. We will be back.

This was such a cozy and well decorated space! Great amenities (coffee, grinder, cookware, wifi/tv, desk, and even little makeup wipes! Great communication and a handy area guide in room!
