If you are looking for a place to stay and experience the history of Charleston, i highly recommend this special place. Furnished in period antiques and featuring carefully restored and maintained rooms, but with a few modern upgrades, this home is fantastic. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and we had a wonderful visit.

We did not have a pet. The staff was helpful and anticipated our questions and needs. The home dated back to 1853 and in one of the most historic sites. We would revisit.
