Historic 1900s Saluda Cottage, Walk to Main Street

Escape to this antique cottage nestled among trees and other vintage summer homes in the quaint village of Saluda. Located only a few minute's walk from downtown, one can sit on the cozy covered porch or open deck and enjoy the serenity of the neighborhood and muted sounds of music emanating from Main Street. Stroll into town to enjoy the local shops, restaurants, and parks or explore the beautiful mountains and rivers nearby! This unique vacation rental features 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. -- THE PROPERTY -- Master Bedroom: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Queen Bed Built early in the 1900s and filled to the brim with gorgeous antique decor, the cottage has a sunny living room, inviting dining room, decorative fireplace (non-functional), gourmet kitchen, and full bath (with an antique clawfoot tub!) on the first floor. Steps lead to 3 bedrooms upstairs with 2 full baths with shared access if desired from other bedrooms. The smallest, brightest guest room has a queen bed and private sink. The second guest room with a queen bed overlooks the long lawn surrounded by evergreens and gardens. Both of these rooms may access the bathroom (through separate doors) that features a shower/tub combo. Finally, the master suite provides a king bed, sitting area with 2 overstuffed chairs, and a writing desk with private access to the largest bathroom with a modern shower and vanity. The master bath may also be accessed by other guests through a separate door off the central hall. The most special rooms in a Saluda cottage are always the outdoor rooms! One may sit for hours in the comfort of the covered porch and dine on the intimate table for 4, rain or shine. The large deck seats 8 comfortably and provides excellent views of the fire pit and games on the lawn. Two bocce sets are available for guests to play! Mix some family tradition into your vacation by bringing your favorite recipes along, or change things up by grabbing a cookbook off the shelf! You'll love preparing homemade feasts in the fully equipped kitchen, a bright space with eclectic decor and access to a small side porch. All of the cooking essentials are provided, including high-end stainless steel appliances like a Wolf gas stove and Subzero refrigerator.
