The property is just like the photos—absolutely charming! The appliances were clean and the kitchen very well equipped. The bathroom was remodeled, I assume, and is beautiful. The backyard is enclosed and perfect for a game of fetch with your dog, and the neighborhood is perfect for an early morning walk. The home is cozy and just 4 minutes from good restaurants and great shopping!!

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

Such a fantastic guest. Responsive, respectful, clean, and helpful. We truly appreciate when our guests thoroughly read our listings and understand that we are very transparent regarding some limitations in our little cottage before they book. We try to add nice touches and a welcoming environment for everyone. Our property is great for your "fur babies" who need a nice area to hang out and play, which this guest truly appreciated. Would absolutely recommend and hope she and her family return!

About the host

Hosted by Cindy 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.
