Wonderful stay in Aiken and great location!

This is our second year renting this property for a week while horse showing at Bruce's field, and once again it didn't disappoint! Awesome location, only a short walk into town and short drive to the horse show. The house is super cozy with everything you need and a great outdoor space! The host Cindy is also great and easy to get in contact with if necessary. Would highly recommend this property if you are there for a horse show or just looking for a peaceful getaway. We hope to be back in the future!

Horse show perfection

We stayed here on our visit to Aiken for a horse show and this place was perfection. Quaint, comfortable, super accommodating host. There was literally everything and more available for our comfort and enjoyment. True southern hospitality. And we were able to bring our fur baby. Everything is fenced in a great walking neighborhood! A+++

Perfectly charming home!

You will LOVE this adorable home in the best location in Aiken. This sweet place is centrally located to everything. You can easily walk to the beautiful downtown restaurants or Hitchcock Woods. The main Whiskey Road shopping is a few minutes drive. Cindy has thought of every detail. The beds are so comfortable! We had 5 adults and 2 Frenchies and even with one bathroom we felt like we're had plenty of room. There are so many small touches including fresh coffee beans, laundry supplies, toiletries, and she even surprised us with fresh flowers, snacks and a bottle of wine which was amazing after our 9 hour drive!! One of the best things is the fenced, private and inviting backyard. Our dogs were m heaven!! We loved the beautiful Edison lighting and the cozy warmth of the propane lamp. We will definitely book this fantastic home next time we're in town!

This cottage and our entire stay was perfection! The cottage is gorgeous and so cozy - great location and the neighborhood is so quiet. It’s so close the fun downtown and a short drive to Augusta. We wish that we brought our Corgis because the big, fenced backyard was ideal. The host was responsive and so friendly - and set up the kitchen with yummy snacks and a wonderful bottle of wine. 10 out of 10 - we will stay again

Home Away From Home

Absolutely beautiful property in a lovely town. Landscaping was phenomenal with a very securely fenced in backyard for our dogs. Everything you could ever need during a stay was provided by the hosts. Interior of the home was VERY clean - fridge was spotless, bathroom fixtures looked brand new, no fears about using anything there. Beds were very comfortable as well, and the blackout curtains ensured late morning starts. Can’t say enough positive things - if we ever come back to Aiken, this is where we would stay without a doubt.

Charming Aiken Cottage

The host has coordinated decor and amenities to make you feel that this is your home away from home when visiting Aiken. For sure this is a stellar host who has thoughtfully anticipated the needs of her guests. The house is beautifully decorated and reflects the charm of the cottage. We can't stop talking about the quality of the mattresses and the beautiful linens. Getting a good nights sleep is always a quality indicator for us. We also enjoyed being outside in the spacious back yard with a grill, dining area and outdoor heater. The location of the property is private and quiet. One word to sum up our experience would be "comfort". We would definitely rent the property again. Host was also excellent in communicating.

Adorable cottage, in a very convenient location with so many thoughtful details to make a stay easy and comfortable. Having a fenced-in yard to enjoy with our dog while we were away from home was a real treat. Highly recommend! The property owner is wonderful to work with - she's thought of everything!

About the host

Hosted by Brad Reinhart

Host profile image
We live locally in Aiken, but are originally from Maryland. Although we come more from the "salty" side of life, we continue to enjoy small town charm and the equestrian feel of Aiken. We want to share what we love about Aiken with others.

Why they chose this property

This property is close to downtown, Bruce's field, the farmer's market, and will be positioned perfectly for the new Steeplechase event location in Aiken. We love that you can hop on a bike and be in town in a few minutes, or just a leisurely walk is less than a mile.

What makes this property unique

Cruising bikes available, backyard ambiance, grill, and great character!
Our large fenced in backyard is enjoyed by many happy pups.
