Our host a couple hours before we were supposed to arrive she sent me a text with all the information I needed to get into the house and gave me all kinds of great ideas for going for dinner or going to look at something It was very nice that she did that. The house is so cute and comfortable. Very clean plenty of towels for both of us as well as in the kitchen. Both my sister and I really enjoyed our stay. It was so close to our wedding venue It worked out perfectly. Aiken is a cute town. Especially if you love horses. I would stay here again if ever in the area.

Back home 4th of July Weekend

I'm a native to Aiken and grew up 2min away from this property. It was the PERFECT location in proximity to my parent's house. Everything was ideal inside the home: cleanliness, signature Aiken horse decor, very thoughtful accommodations, and the beds provided some of the best sleep we have ever had away from home. I loved our stay and hope to stay again!

Not what it was pictured!

This unit has so many problems and safety violations. Multiple safety cords everywhere. Windows painted shut-no way out in case of fire. Floors uneven making walking difficult and doors will not stay open. Bathroom shower head and shower doors broken. Lighting in bathroom poor. Doors have gaps under them letting in light and bugs.Safety lock on back door doesn't work. Peeling paint inside and out. Rental needs a lot of maintenance. Location was good and the beds were comfortable. Will not stay here again. Very very disappointed!

Family visit

We truly enjoyed this beautiful little cottage. It was very clean and well stocked. This visit back to my hometown of Aiken was to attend a funeral and it was nice to come back to the quiet and comfort of the cottage. The fenced yards were perfect for our two fur babies to run in.

Best experience with a VRBO stay

I was visiting Aiken, visiting my daughter and her family for Christmas plus visiting friends in the area. This home was perfect for myself and my 2 dachshunds. The fully fenced in yard was perfect for my dogs. The home has been well kept, has high end appliances, and enough supplies to last several days. I was enjoying it so much, I extended my stay!! Communication with my host was great. I can't wait to return in the spring. This experience was the best I've ever had with a VRBO stay.

Lovely Aiken 2BR close to everything

My family was visiting Aiken as part of trip to take our son from Charleston up to Zirconia NC for Summer Camp. The check in process was easy. House was clean, well appointed, conveniently located, and pet friendly (even though we didn’t travel with our dogs) it’s nice to have options. I would stay at this property again, especially if I’m fortunate enough to return to Aiken for a horse show at Bruce’s Field or to just vacation again in a great town!

Great Cottage

We were in town for a weekend to run a half marathon and to visit some family and friends. It was a great weekend and do a lot to our great accommodations. This house is conveniently located close to downtown and other areas of interest. Nice off the street parking. Inside was very clean, cozy and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything you would need. There are two separate fenced-in areas outside which were perfect for the dogs. One area encompasses the front yard and a large backyard. One of the areas is within a privacy fence that has a fire pit, grill, and several seating areas. Nice place to hang out and have a meal while the dogs can roam. There are a lot of dogs in the neighborhood including one next-door that seemed a bit aggressive, but there is a sturdy and secured fence between the properties. Also, that neighbor was out there often with the dog. This is not meant to be a negative or a deterrent from staying here – just want to make future renters aware as it startled me the first time we were out with the dogs and that dog was out. Host was super responsive and easy to work with. We have already told several people about this place highly recommending it. We will be back to Aiken and will absolutely stay here again.

Comfort at Trotters Cottage

4 of us spent a weekend attending the Southern Belle Classic at Stableview and chose Trotters Cottage for our stay. It was welcoming, comfortable (amazing beds!), fully appointed with pretty much everything needed by travelers. Cara was very responsive and proactive. We used gps to find it and went through some pretty rundown and sketchy areas to find it, but that was the only negative. Also, the reference address says 1760, but it's actually 1720.

Cozy cottage!

I stayed for 10 nights in January and was very happy and comfortable even in the cold weather while I was there. Nice bedding, kitchen as well appointed and the two fenced in yards were perfect for my little French bulldog that stayed with me. Cara was available to answer any questions, but I had very few because the cottage had everything I needed. I liked it so much that I’m heading back again!

Very CUTE cottage in horse country!

We were in town for a long weekend trip to shop for horses for my teenage daughter. There were two adults and one teen. The cottage was adorably decorated and comfortable for the 3 of us. We had everything we needed and just enough space for the short amount of downtime we did have. We were in a very great central location for the various farms and venues we visited. Very close to Bruce’s field and downtown Aiken. Checkin process was easy. Bedding was comfortable. Plenty of towels available. Kitchen was well stocked. This cottage will definitely be saved for any future visits to Aiken! Overall a great trip and very adorable accommodations!

Adorable cottage not in the best area

We enjoyed the little house and found it very cozy and moderately well-appointed (I do love to find coffee accoutrements such as creamer etc wherever I stay, plus bottled water in an area where the water tastes like sand is a nice touch). However, the neighborhood was completely not what I expected when the description had said it was close to Bruce’s Field …. This is an area close to the horse park that I have never seen before and that did not feel safe or neighborly. We owned a house in aiken for several years near the Green Boundary Club and I had assumed it was close to there. Silly me! Since it was just my daughter and myself, we were a little scared. The yard was nice and the area looked better in the daylight than it did when we checked in at dusk. I made the mistake of not telling the owners I had a small dog with me, but I happily paid their pet fee when requested. While the stay ended up luckily being uneventful, it was soured by he fact that daughter left her blanket to which she is sentimentality attached and which cost over $200 and the owners never got back with me (despite feeling like I was hounding them) over whether it was found. We know we left it so if it was not found that is due to a housekeepers mistake or dishonesty. That part of the stay was the most unfortunate! We were going to book another property owned by these owners for two weeks in May, but not after the blanket incident. Overall it’s a cute cottage but some aspects were disappointing
