Walk to Everything Downtown Laurens! Historic Cottage, King Bed, Firepit
Originally built in the 1800s as a cotton warehouse, this comfortable, updated cottage sits directly on the Historic Laurens Square in downtown Laurens, South Carolina. Step out the door and you're less than a minute from local coffee, a taproom, boutiques, antique shopping, and a day spa — no car required once you arrive. Inside, an open floorplan connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas, making it easy for everyone to be together. Bar seating for four plus a dining table for four means the whole group has a place. The living room is built for gathering: an oversized chair, a large sectional, and an 80" smart TV for movie nights and game day. There's also a 2-player retro arcade console loaded with 64 games — a favorite with kids and adults alike. Where You'll Sleep — Sleeps 6 Primary suite: King bed, ensuite bathroom, Roku smart TV, dresser, two nightstands, ceiling fan, and a large closet with plenty of storage. Bedroom 2: Full bed plus a twin daybed with pull-out twin trundle and its own Roku smart TV — flexible sleeping for kids, extra adults, or a shifted-schedule traveler. Two full bathrooms mean no morning traffic jam.
The Kitchen Fully stocked and ready to actually cook in: full-size refrigerator, electric stove, microwave, dishwasher, and a Keurig coffee maker with K-cups provided. Cookware, dishes, and utensils are all here.
Outside A large private deck with an 11-foot lighted umbrella and comfortable outdoor seating, plus a firepit for cool Upstate evenings. The entire property is surrounded by a privacy fence, so the yard is genuinely yours.

A great place to stay right off of the square (downtown) in Laurens. Very convenient walking to multiple restaurants. Clean and has everything as shown from the pictures.
Wonderful home with all the amenities and updates. Great layout and openness. Perfect walking distance to great food and shops. We had a wonderful time with in this unique property!
We really enjoyed our stay. This property is so convenient/walking distance to several restaurants and shopping. Clean property/home and very comfortable. We would definitely stay again in the furture. Would highly recommend.
This property was fantastic! We enjoyed the central, easy to get to location. We enjoyed the firepit with our local family. We walked the square several times during our stay. The home is beautifully decorated. I fell in love with the large kitchen. We would definitely stay again!
Very cute accommodations. Large living room, perfect for family to join us for football watching on the large screen. Had everything we needed to be comfortable on our stay. Thanks!
Exactly as described. Centrally located right in downtown Laurens across from the police station. Quiet and beautiful. It was just a few steps to the eateries and downtown shops. We loved it and are looking forward to staying again next time we are in town.
It is a beautiful home away from home. It is a hidden gem that is full of character and charm. It had everything we needed to enjoy our visit with family. 😊
This place was perfect! Easy to be in- comfortable and had everything we needed. Loved that it was decorated for Christmas- felt like home. We will come again- and have told other PC football parents about it.
This cottage was amazing! Everything I needed for the week was right there. Everything is updated, everything worked well, and the host was so very helpful when I needed it. the size is great for a couple or a family of 2 or 3 children. Conveniently located as well.
House is very comfortable and you really do feel at home. Melissa is an amazing host. Very communicative. Even though we did not use all amenities, they were great to have at our disposal. If we are ever in Laurens again, we will be staying here again.
What a beautiful place to stay in such a small quiet little town. The cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable. The yard is fenced in for added privacy. The appliances are top of the line and the decor is amazing. Very quiet neighborhood and Melissa resonded to us any time we reached out. We would recommend this cottage as a nice get away.
We stayed 2 nights for a competition for my daughter and her team from PC. The place was amazing, very clean, spacious, had all the amenities you can think of and the host answered questions almost immediately. We will be coming back!
Highly recommend! The cottage was comfy and cute. Family came in town for a Presbyterian College event (15 mins away) and the home was a delight. Our stay was 4 nights, 5 days and it was important for me to save money by having some meals at the vrbo. The kitchen was fully stocked with crock pot and casserole dishes—made cooking for a small group very easy. Huge bonus is the Crepe/Coffee restaurant around the corner which stays open until 2pm. That satisfied the 20 something with specialty coffees and food. More than enough towels, washcloths, etc.
We had never heard of Laurens, SC prior to signing up for an event in the area. So when I searched for housing for our group we needed to places because we cook & eat together! Melissa had 2 options for us and literally transformed these cottages into adorable places with everything you need! We have even thought about going back for just a weekend to chill & get away from the hussle & bustle of our blessed yet busy lives! Hopefully when we go back for our event in the future we will be able to stay here again!
Our host knew that we were planning to host my family for Christmas and decorated the cottage with Christmas trees and other Christmas decorations--this was so thoughtful and so appreciated. This property is organized, immaculately clean, and is very comfortable and homey. We were able to effortlessly entertain my mother and siblings for Christmas as we had EVERYTHING that we needed to cook and entertain. The beds were wonderfully comfy and the home was very cozy. There was a very nice fire-pit outside and the cottage sits on the town square--we were able to easily tour the shops on this historic square. We will definitely be staying here again.

Why they chose this property
Once a cotton warehouse, this property just spoke to me when I realized that it was being converted to a condo! The location can't be beat to be able to experience a bustling SC Downtown. During my stays my family and I sit on the deck and listen to music on the square during events and walk to shopping & dining! I love this home, I hope to retire to it someday!
What makes this property unique
Cottage on Court Street is walking distance to dining/shopping/taproom/coffee house. It has a fully stocked kitchen for hosting family or friends parties. The lush lawn surrounded by privacy fencing is a great area to hang and relax!
