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 of the two carriage houses overlooking the shaded brick courtyard. Afternoon tea or port are served in the lounge.

The service was wonderful. Our room was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be staying there again!
