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.

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!

Will be back!

We travel a ton so for my husband to say multiple times that we’ll be back says a lot. The Barn is such a cool a different place to stay. It has a great layout and was obviously thoughtfully done. The neighborhood and surrounding areas were beautiful. Check in and communication were easy. Definitely as described and then some!We will be back to stay!

Fabulous experience

The Barn at Linwood is very charming. It is surpassed by the kindness and generosity of the host. We loved the barn but due to recent medical problems. The master bed was difficult for myself and my husband. The hostess graciously offered the Bungalow next door. It was just what the doctor ordered. It was beautiful and comfortable. I would recommend staying on any property associated with Linwood. They are beautifully restore and maintained. We cant wait to return.

Amazing stay @ The Barn at Linwood

My husband, 15 month old and I had a great stay at the barn. The host was in communication from check in to check out. We got clear instructions on how to get there, etc. This place is PACKED with character. So darn charming!! The place was super clean and stocked with everything we needed. They even had a brand new pack n play available which was a huge plus. I was able to cook my baby breakfast every morning and prepare my husband and I delicious coffee. It’s located right by downtown Summerville with great restaurants and coffee shops (our fave was cuppa manna). If it weren’t so hot, we could have walked to downtown. We highly recommend this place. Thank you Linda for your wonderful hospitality.

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.

A Delightfully Unique Experience!

Absolutely LOVED staying at Linwood! Our time here was a cousins reunion and the barn accommodated the 4 of us beautifully. It is located within walking distance to charming downtown Summerville and our favorite spot was Cuppa Manna—great drinks & people.

Great week

My husband and I stayed a week in this lovely rental. It was perfect for the laid back trip we had in mind. The property is beautiful and the owners were very friendly. We enjoyed walking to the historic area for eating and shopping. It was a great location for us for the things we chose to do closer to Charleston. We would definitely stay there again if ever back in the area. I didn’t do any real cooking but we were able to reheat and found everything we needed for some simple meals. The shower downstairs was great!

Family trip

In town for family birthday. Found the barn at Linwood a unique place to stay. Easy to communicate with owners and check in was very easy. Pictures and description of place are accurate. Met with Linda who was gracious to give us a tour of the grounds and spoke about the rich history. Linwood is a beautiful little cottage tucked back in the huge trees with moss hanging off the branches. It is a hidden gem. Thank you for sharing your home with my family. Would definitely stay here again in the future!

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!
