The unit was very clean. It was a nice quiet setting that had beautiful landscaping. The star of the property was Earl Grey the Cat! We would stay here again it was beautiful. It was so close to downtown that you could walk to restaurants or just a one or two minute drive to get around all the beautiful downtown restaurants.

We really enjoyed our stay at the barn! The rooms were spacious and worked perfectly for my husband and I and our daughter. Everything from old English hunting pictures on the walls, to the refurbished rake towel rack, and barn door made these accommodations cute and interesting. We cooked a few meals in the barn and all cookware we needed was provided as well as any other essentials. We enjoyed the beauty of the property, the live oaks, but especially enjoyed the company of ‘Earl Grey’ the friendly kitty that roamed the property. If we are ever in town again, we will be back!

Great place to stay when visiting Charleston!

Our stay was so comfortable—we met our daughter for a little getaway and had such a great time. We loved the historic design touches and the welcoming living room. The gardens were such a beautiful surprise, and you really felt far from the city despite being minutes from downtown. The communication with the host was quick, and every room was very clean. Would definitely recommend to friends!

The barn was such a cool place on the grounds of a beautiful historical home. It was clean and very cutely decorated. Plenty of space for the 4 of us. I was a little nervous about the commute to downtown Charleston as we had a few days and evenings that we planned to spend there but it wasn’t bad at all. Very central to everything and quiet on the property.

Great hosts, great location, beautiful grounds.

The Haybarn is situated in the beautiful, serene gardens on the property of the Linwood Inn, which is just a short walk from downtown Summerville. This unique property was a wonderful place for us to stay for four months. The owners, Linda and Peter, along with their friendly cat (Earl Grey), always made us feel welcome!

Really Unique and Great Place To Stay

Great location. The updates to this converted barn are amazing. The barn had everything we needed for our stay and was very clean. We ran into one of the owners who was very friendly. The downtown area is within walking distance and had a number of restaurants. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it.

The Barn

We had a wonderful experience at The Barn. In the area for a graduation and could not have stayed at a better place. Linda and Nicole (and Matthew) were very responsive and a pleasure to work with. The barn is as advertised and better. It is beautifully decorated and close to downtown. We hope to stay again.
