Walk to Everything Downtown Laurens! Historic Cottage, King Bed, Firepit

Originally built in the 1800s as a cotton warehouse, this comfortable, updated cottage sits directly on the Historic Laurens Square in downtown Laurens, South Carolina. Step out the door and you're less than a minute from local coffee, a taproom, boutiques, antique shopping, and a day spa — no car required once you arrive.
Inside, an open floorplan connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas, making it easy for everyone to be together. Bar seating for four plus a dining table for four means the whole group has a place. The living room is built for gathering: an oversized chair, a large sectional, and an 80" smart TV for movie nights and game day. There's also a 2-player retro arcade console loaded with 64 games — a favorite with kids and adults alike.
Where You'll Sleep — Sleeps 6
Primary suite: King bed, ensuite bathroom, Roku smart TV, dresser, two nightstands, ceiling fan, and a large closet with plenty of storage.
Bedroom 2: Full bed plus a twin daybed with pull-out twin trundle and its own Roku smart TV — flexible sleeping for kids, extra adults, or a shifted-schedule traveler.
Two full bathrooms mean no morning traffic jam.

The Kitchen
Fully stocked and ready to actually cook in: full-size refrigerator, electric stove, microwave, dishwasher, and a Keurig coffee maker with K-cups provided. Cookware, dishes, and utensils are all here.

Outside
A large private deck with an 11-foot lighted umbrella and comfortable outdoor seating, plus a firepit for cool Upstate evenings. The entire property is surrounded by a privacy fence, so the yard is genuinely yours.

Built for Longer Stays
Full-size front-loading washer and dryer in the unit, a dedicated workspace, and fast WiFi throughout. Guests stay a weekend, a week, a month, or longer — everything you need to make this a home away from home is already here.
Getting Around
Downtown Laurens Square: less than a 1-minute walk
Presbyterian College (Clinton, SC): about 10 minutes by car
Downtown Greenville, SC: about 40 minutes
Spartanburg, SC: about 40 minutes
Free, well-lit parking on the property
Great base for exploring Upstate South Carolina — Lake Greenwood, Musgrove Mill State Historic Site, and Sumter National Forest are all an easy drive.

Exactly as described. Centrally located right in downtown Laurens across from the police station. Quiet and beautiful. It was just a few steps to the eateries and downtown shops. We loved it and are looking forward to staying again next time we are in town.

Beautiful gem in small quiet town

What a beautiful place to stay in such a small quiet little town. The cottage has everything you need and is very comfortable. The yard is fenced in for added privacy. The appliances are top of the line and the decor is amazing. Very quiet neighborhood and Melissa resonded to us any time we reached out. We would recommend this cottage as a nice get away.

Highly recommend! The cottage was comfy and cute. Family came in town for a Presbyterian College event (15 mins away) and the home was a delight. Our stay was 4 nights, 5 days and it was important for me to save money by having some meals at the vrbo. The kitchen was fully stocked with crock pot and casserole dishes—made cooking for a small group very easy. Huge bonus is the Crepe/Coffee restaurant around the corner which stays open until 2pm. That satisfied the 20 something with specialty coffees and food. More than enough towels, washcloths, etc.

Absolutely beautiful!

We had never heard of Laurens, SC prior to signing up for an event in the area. So when I searched for housing for our group we needed to places because we cook & eat together! Melissa had 2 options for us and literally transformed these cottages into adorable places with everything you need! We have even thought about going back for just a weekend to chill & get away from the hussle & bustle of our blessed yet busy lives! Hopefully when we go back for our event in the future we will be able to stay here again!

Wonderful Family Christmas

Our host knew that we were planning to host my family for Christmas and decorated the cottage with Christmas trees and other Christmas decorations--this was so thoughtful and so appreciated. This property is organized, immaculately clean, and is very comfortable and homey. We were able to effortlessly entertain my mother and siblings for Christmas as we had EVERYTHING that we needed to cook and entertain. The beds were wonderfully comfy and the home was very cozy. There was a very nice fire-pit outside and the cottage sits on the town square--we were able to easily tour the shops on this historic square. We will definitely be staying here again.
