Charming home away from home

My husband and I stayed in the upper suite at the Cookhouse for three nights and could not have been more pleased. The hosts were very gracious and thought of everything to make our stay a memorable one. The property has been totally renovated and provided a separate bedroom and bath along with a combined living/dining/kitchen. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the needed utensils, dishware, etc. allowing us to have some of our meals there. There are beautiful gardens and a sitting area in front of the building and ample off-street parking. It was within easy walking distance (2 blocks) to the Visitor Center, trolley stops, restaurants and shopping. At the same time it was far enough away so that we were not bothered by excessive street noise that some other property reviews listed as a concern. We felt safe walking during the day or night to and from our lodging. We appreciated that the price quoted to us was all-inclusive without add-ons for cleaning, taxes, parking etc. Our last tour on our visit was at the Aiken-Rhett house which is just two doors down from the Cookhouse. It was humbling to know that we were staying that close to where slaves were housed in the pre-Civil War days of Charleston. We would highly recommend this property to anyone spending a few days or more in beautiful Charleston.

We stayed at the Cookhouse for our 15th anniversary. The apartment was beautiful and comfortable. David was a gracious host and offered information and travel tips for getting around Charleston as this was our first trip. We would recommend this location and will stay there again if we find our way back to Charleston.

We have been working on getting 3 couples to Charleston for two years now. Finally, I pulled the trigger and booked with the Cookhouse. Wow - I guess there is no other way to put it. Our group was overwhelmed by the experience. The owners are gracious to a fault. The property is spotless. The location is nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The linens are top rate and the ambience is priceless. In fact, on our second night, we cancelled dinner reservations and ordered a pizza so we could just sit outside in the very private courtyard and enjoy the evening. It will be one of our favorite memories for years to come.
And - I have to mention parking. In searching for a location we needed to be able to park. All three couples were coming from a different direction and we all had a car. This seems simple - unless you've tried to park in Charleston. The Cookhouse has parking. And, it is two blocks from bus and trolly stops; an easy walk. David - thank you ever so much for your kindness, your hospitality and for providing us an amazing experience.

Family Vacation

My husband and I and three adult children just spent an amazing 5 days at the Cookhouse!! We have been to Charleston many times and knew instantly what a prize we had found! Very historical, private, lovely gardens and parking area which is difficult to find in Charleston!! The owners have done a remarkable job with the restorations to the house with all the modern amenities while the antiques and other embellishments made us think we had really stepped back in time. We rented both units and had more than enough room! It was in a wonderful location 15 minute walk to the heart of Charleston! Would absolutely enjoy staying at the Cookhouse in the future!!
