Return Visit

We have stayed at this property for the last 6 years and have enjoyed every visit. Location and parking are the two major issues that this property provides and is excellent. We will return.

The Cookhouse

We stayed an entire week at the Cookhouse. It was perfectly clean, had plenty of space for a couple, and the parking was a plus. The bed was comfortable and the outdoor space was beautiful. The location in Charleston was amazing and communitcation was great. I think the thing we loved best was the fact that is was a cookhouse. The history made our stay even more interesting.

A Bit of History

Lovely restored "cookhouse" situated on grounds of a lovely mansion is perfect for two. Comfortable spaces, nicely appointed kitchen and a pleasant patio. The neighborhood is very quiet but within easy walking distance of restaurants and shopping on King Street. An added bonus is its proximity to the free loop shuttle that makes it easy to reach the historic center, French Quarter etc

1 week stay in Charleston SC

Clean! Nice walking. It's a small walk, but totally doable and nice. Multiple ways to get uptown. So much to do in the area. The place was perfect. Bed as comfortable as they all say. Nice appliances. I'd stay there again for sure! I am going to miss that shower forever.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Bed was comfortable, kitchen was equipped, and good location / great parking. What was not great was WiFi, upstairs neighbors(not sure if they were moving or practicing dance routines), and critters (aka bugs). Neighborhood was quiet, easy to get in and out, about .5 miles from downtown. Would not recommend walking in the summer (Uber was cheap option) but otherwise easy / friendly walking. Host supplied shampoo, conditioner, soap.

As close to perfection as it gets!

Clean, very comfortable, great location, beautiful courtyard, quite neighborhood but close to the action and private parking too! We loved our stay at the Cookhouse Apartment and when back in Charleston, that's where we will want to stay! We parked our car when we got there and got in it again when we left to come home. There is a plethora of good restaurants to choose from, but call way ahead to get reservations, especially at Poogan's Porch or Fleets Landing. Our four nights there went by like a puff of wind. Can't wait to get back!
