About this house rental

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

"The beautifully displayed breakfast pastries and delicious coffee gave us a warm welcome as we entered the French inspired kitchen. The beds were so comfortable, and everything we needed for a wedding/iron, steamer, washer and dryer, front porch for socializing and eating, easy entrance/exit (two steps), and ample parking aided my family to enjoy a hectic, busy, and celebratory weekend!" - Lynda

"The cleanest, most comfortable, best decorated VRBO I have ever been in. Perfect for our girls weekend! Host was so helpful and accommodating. We will be back!" - Lori

The house was like a spa experience. Front porch eating area beautiful. Coffee and croissants. Amazing! - Jean

KITCHEN, DINING + LIVING AREAS

The Cafe

Inspired by a cozy European cafe, this warm, inviting kitchen has everything you need to 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. Featuring: A single cup coffee maker with provided Starbucks K-cups, a 12-cup coffee maker with Greenville's very own Methodical Coffee, a french press for the coffee connoisseur, various tea selections, high quality pots, pans and utensils, serving and drink ware, classic spices, oil and vinegar, and high quality, sustainable soaps by Public Goods.

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 sea grass coffee table, Samsung Frame TV, and a basket full of classic games to play with friends and family.

The Outdoor Living Space

This charming front porch with a dining table for 8 and three petite sofas is the picture of perfection when it comes to connecting over a morning coffee or afternoon charcuterie board. Serving ware, an ice bucket, table runner, and linen napkins are stocked in the kitchen for those days that call for a simple but luxurious picnic right at home.

BATHROOMS

Bathroom One: The Chess Bathroom

Originally the home's butler's pantry, this space is a comfortable new addition. Featuring: Public Goods hand soap, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, antique marble vanity, sconces and overhead lights for optimal lighting, custom glass enclosed shower, teak shower stool, and Delta shower system with hand shower.

Bathroom Two: The Vintage Bathroom

The home's original bathroom with marble floor tile that was uncovered and restored during the latest renovation. Featuring: Public Goods hand soap, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, marble console vanity, sconces and overhead lights for optimal lighting, custom glass enclosed shower, teak shower stool, and Delta shower system with hand shower. Note: Due to the age and previous treatment of the original floor tile, some imperfections are noticeable.

BEDROOMS

Each named after a historic resident, every bedroom was designed with guest comfort in mind and its own unique theme to experience. All bedrooms feature top rated memory foam mattresses, Brooklinen duvet covers, and 100% cotton, hotel-quality sheets.

We absolutely love this charming home in the historic Pettigru district of Greenville. This was our second stay and it was just as wonderful as the first! Every detail is so thoughtfully curated and beautifully designed, making the entire home feel both historic and perfectly updated. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the space is well-appointed throughout with everything you could possibly need. It’s clear a lot of care goes into creating such a warm and inviting stay. We will definitely be back!
