Historical Charm and Style
This cottage is a GEM. It has historical significance that the owner has preserved beautifully. The artwork is an arrangement of original pieces painted by the owner who is a very talented portrait artist. So much thought and care has gone into the experience, from the pantry to the bathroom in terms of items to make a stay more comfortable and beautiful.It's both charming and historical, as well as modern and convenient.

The Bonny House is Bonnie indeed!
We booked the Bonny House to get away, rest, and regroup The property is beautiful. The house was spotless. Decorated in beautiful antiques. The furniture was comfortable and the amenities were plentiful. Our hosts Ellen and Mike are lovely people. We enjoyed getting to know them. The location of the property was walking distance to most everything. We experienced First Friday in Beaufort. That was fun and unexpected. There is lots to do. We had many great meals at the local eateries. And hope to return sometime. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely DEAR!
We so enjoyed staying in this charming historic cottage. It was beautifully restored and decorated. Everything you would need has been thoughtfully considered to make your stay pleasurable. The location in the historic district was the best! It was in short walking distance from everything but on a quiet street. We would definitely recommend this property and would definitely book it again on a return trip.

This was our second stay with hosts Ellen and Mike. The Bonnie cottage is everything you want in a stay away from the rigors of home ownership. Beautifully furnished, wanting for nothing.
