Everything you would ever need.

We completely enjoyed our stay. This is a magnificent property covered with Live Oaks and azaleas. Frontage on Hut Creek makes for easy access to the water for kayaking and fishing. There is plenty of room to run for any dogs that you might bring. The house is very comfortable and well appointed with a great east-facing porch for catching the sunrise. The location of this property is out of the frenetic pace of Folly Beach and Charleston, but literally 20 minutes or less to virtually anything that you would want to do in the Charleston area.

Beautiful Property!

We stayed 3 nights for a wedding that was 2.5 miles away. The location was perfect. There was plenty of room for the 7 of us. The owners suggested some restaurants that we tried and enjoyed. It was an easy drive to Charleston for the day after the wedding. The property is so beautiful with old oak trees. It is so peaceful. The home is older with decor from years ago but very clean and comfortable. My parents enjoyed looking at all the older items in the home. The owners were very nice when we thought my adult son was going to need to bring his diabetic older pup which meant so much. Thankfully he was able to leave her with family but at least we knew bringing her was an option. The owners always responded quickly. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks again!

Thanksgiving in Charleston

Jane was very helpful and attentive. I would definitely stay again. We had a very nice time and were able to explore both the Johns Island area and beaches as well as historic Charleston (our first time in the area). All-in-all, we had a wonderful time.

It was like stepping back in time, to a little slice of heaven

We had my daughter's wedding here and it was so magical! Even though we had rain, it was still so amazing! Staying at the Hut is like staying at your grandparents house! I loved it and the property is an artist's dream. Jane is so friendly and giving! I look forward to reading more of her books!
