John Rutledge House Inn
At a Glance
- at night, when you "go home" and pour a sherry, it's like being a blue-blood Charlestonian
- the building has a New Orleans-esque exterior with its wrought-iron architectural details
- nice, quiet back courtyard
Pros
- the two carriage houses can cost more than the main and are not nearly as grand
- you can hear some street and kitchen noise in the first-floor rooms
Cons
John Rutledge House Inn Review
In 1791 George Washington visited this elegant mansion, residence of one of South Carolina's most influential politicians, John Rutledge. This National Historic Landmark has spacious accommodations within the lovingly restored main house (Nos. 6, 8, and 11 are the most appealing). Solid painted walls—in forest green and buttercream yellow—complement the billowy fabrics on the four-poster beds. Parquet floors sit beneath 14-foot ceilings adorned with plaster moldings. Families gravitate to the privacy and quiet of the two carriage houses overlooking the shaded brick courtyard. A scrumptious afternoon tea is served in the former ballroom. Breakfast—continental as well as at least one hot item—can be taken in the ballroom or courtyard.
