  • Built in 1883 the, elegant, main house at LINWOOD is enhanced by nearly 2 acres of award winning gardens but just a short, 4 block, walk to fine restaurants and shops. Charleston airport only 14 miles.
    Gracious, southern porches, front and back, invite guests to linger over a cool drink after a busy day in historic Charleston or having enjoyed the many attractions of the coastal area.
    The original 1883 dining room, which comfortable seats 10 guests, has a big fireplace for cozy winter mornings when a great crowd gathers for breakfast. It is the larger of the two dining rooms and less formal.
    "Welcome to LINWOOD!" The 12-13 ft.ceilings of the central hall with chandeliers and heart pine floor and antiques is your introduction to this southern, plantation-style, home.
    The formal sitting room enjoys spectacular light from the Victoria bay window and the 2 triple hung windows leading onto the front porch. Much of the glass is oringinal from the 1880s. Comafortable for a quiet read or group gathering.
    The elegant, columned front porch invites guests to snooze in the hammock or relax with a drink and the paper or good book while enjoying a sensational view of the award winning garden.
    The shabby chique bath room in the Courtney suite. Don't panic, guys, there is another private bathroom with a shower. Two bathrooms in one suite. Nice luxury for honeymooners or senior travelers.
    Relax around or cool off in LINWOOD'S large, in-ground swimming pool.
    One of many garden settings to find as you wander through one inviting garden enclosure after another enjoying the sub-tropical landscape and award winning LINWOOD gardens.
    The "Courtney" suite, with antique, pine furniture enjoys the luxury of two bathrooms. one with a claw foot tub and the other with a shower. Lots of lovely amenities and special for honeymooners or seniors.
    The luxury "Hay Barn" is an architectural delight. Comfortable for four guests with King bed and twins, two bath rooms, private deck and lots of luxury. All pine interior. Great "wow" factor.
    The "Matthew" suite has this queen bedroom plus a spacious, twin bedroom with lots of comfortable seating, flat screen TV. Ideal for a family, 2 couples, or 4 friends enjoying the area. Private bath. Lovely amenities.
    The "Brandt" suite not only has a queen bedroom but private bath and additional, private sitting room with recliner, love seat and flat screen TV. Three guests can be accommodated comfortably.

    A Magical Place

    March 30, 2013

    Truely magical! This historic home is beautiful in every respect, and our hosts were the best! A great place to go for a quiet read or stroll around their extensive grounds, AND the great Ashley River plantations are only a half an hour away! For us the Linwood Inn was a great find and we'll definitely be coming back. Three cottages on the grounds also provide accommodations for families or persons desiring a longer stay in lovely Summerville.

    Delightful Escape

    January 21, 2012

    Our first visit to Linwood was a delightful surprise. We entered The Cottage walking through the hedge trimmed brick path into the screened porch with an overhead fan, antique door knocker and surrounded by English gardens. I felt a bit like I had walked into a fairytale. The Cottage has antiques and little pieces sprinkled throughout the home, sometimes discovered when least expected. The gardens have a few surprises tucked in here and there as well. Last Christmas, we stayed in the Historic Home B & B and Mr. Peter surprised us with a small Christmas tree in the hall outside our room for our 8 year old. Miss Linda supplied a basket of decorations for him to decorate the tree himself. The Shelbournes have a gift of hospitality while allowing privacy for their guests as well. A sweet, luxury break from the routine for this Michigan family.
