About this house rental

"Perfect in every way. Gorgeous details throughout.. Happy hours & dinner on the covered front porch. This home is a hidden gem."
- Tamara

"FINALLY! This is by far the best rental I’ve ever stayed in...The home is absolutely gorgeous. The moment I walked in through the kitchen, I was in love — it looks exactly like the photos, if not better. I honestly didn’t want to leave. I’m already worried every rental I stay in after this one will pale in comparison!"
- Melissa

This early 1900s boutique stay was thoughtfully designed to be an unforgettable experience. There are plenty of special touches to look forward to here: luxurious linens, coffee + tea selections (featuring Greenville's local favorite Methodical Coffee), indoor + outdoor dining spaces inspired by quaint European cafes, and classic board games. Not to mention, a native Greenvillian to recommend local gems as you plan your stay.

This home is a licensed City of Greenville rental which means you can book future stays with confidence.

"I can't wait to plan another trip to Greenville JUST to stay here!" - Brooke

"We stayed here while in town for our daughter’s wedding. We loved it so much we joked we might never leave!" - Jean

"What an unbelievable place....The beds are super comfortable with fine threadcount sheets, and the towels look like towels from 4 seasons hotels...Even the shampoo and conditioner she provides is top notch." -Amy

The Cafe.
Inspired by a cozy European cafe, the warm and inviting kitchen is stocked with everything you need — high quality pots, pans and utensils; serving and drinkware; classic spices, oil and vinegar; as well as premium, sustainable soaps by Public Goods. Enjoy meals with family and friends, or relax over a cup of local coffee and a good book at one of the three cafe tables. There’s everything for the coffee connoisseur as well as various tea selections. Featuring: a single cup coffee maker (with provided Starbucks K-cups), a 12-cup coffee maker, and a french press, along with Greenville's locally roasted Methodical Coffee.

The Indoor Living Space.
The perfect space to play a classic board game, enjoy a cocktail, or cozy up in front of a movie, the indoor living space offers plenty of seating and side tables. Featuring: A large, cozy sectional, two swivel chairs, circular seagrass coffee table, television, and a basket of classic games to play with friends and family.

The Outdoor Living Space.
This charming front porch with dining table for 8 as well as three petite sofas is perfect for connecting over morning coffee or an afternoon charcuterie board. Servingware and an ice bucket are stocked in the kitchen for those days that call for a simple but luxurious picnic right at home.

"Jessica’s place is such a great stay. It’s beautiful, and squeaky clean. Well appointed but whimsical at the same time. But most importantly it has a feel. It’s immediately comfortable like a new good friend. I’ve stayed at some good airbnbs that have left me charmed. This one steals first place. Highly recommend. Thank you for a really nice stay." - Monique

We were in Greenville to celebrate the marriage of our daughter. The house was in the perfect location, communication was excellent with the property owners, and the listing was accurate to the accommodations. The home was clean, well stock kitchen, plenty of linens, and so comfortable for our family. The front porch is fabulous for coffee and meals. We had a perfect stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Very lovely home. All 4 bedrooms were very comfortable. We like to sit as a group and play games after dinner & the living room with comfy seating was perfect! The kitchen was well stocked and very orderly. The extras of coffee, tea and treats were very much appreciated. All of the amenities were of very good quality. Having parking for 5 cars directly behind house was convenient and easy to find. The distance to downtown Greenville was only a mile & easy driving & parking access once there. Thank you!

The house itself was beautiful, clean, and as described. Check in and check out were seamless.The host clearly put a lot of thought and care into every detail: fresh linens, household supplies, games, blankets, coffee, and even phone chargers on hand. Would absolutely stay again!
