“What an incredible place. My family loved the location, cleanliness, and the attention and care that Josh and Allie poured into this place. Kids already want to go back! Thanks for helping create our perfect 4th of July weekend!”
“We loved the Guilford Cottage. Beautiful, so clean, safe, close to everything Bluffton has to offer and perfect for our family. We appreciated all the baby/children amenities too. The info sheets about the Bluffton area and the house manuals for how to operate the lights, tv, kitchen amenities etc was extremely helpful and appreciated. I wish all hosts offered this little extra benefit. Bluffton is a favorite vacation spot for us and we’d love to stay at the cottage again in the future!”
“Josh’s home in Bluffton was truly the Airbnb of our dreams! We looked at several places before booking, and from the moment we arrived, we knew we had made the right choice. The home was immaculate, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
Josh was an outstanding host. When the code for the back door didn’t work initially, he responded immediately and remotely unlocked the door so we could get inside without any hassle. He also checked in after our arrival to make sure everything was perfect, which we really appreciated.
We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and are already looking forward to booking this beautiful home again on our next trip to Bluffton. Highly recommend!”
“This place looks exactly like the photos – stunning property! The interior design is beautiful and you can shop the property through a QR code which I thought was a fun, unique touch. We love Bluffton and would definitely recommend to stay here!”
We’re a family passionate about design, hospitality, and creating memorable experiences. Between running Bowdie’s Chophouse and building The Nottinghome brand, we’ve always been drawn to spaces that bring people together and feel both elevated and welcoming.
Hosting allows us to combine those passions—thoughtful design, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality—into one experience. We love creating a space where guests can relax, feel inspired, and enjoy the little details that make a stay special.
The Guilford Cottage is an extension of what we love most: beautiful spaces, meaningful moments, and sharing that experience with others.
