This white wooden building anchoring Mount Pleasant's historic district is a cozy inn, an excellent restaurant, and a neighborly tavern. Up the high staircase, rooms have hardwood floors and reproduction furnishings that will remind you of Cape Cod. The dark-wood furnishings feel right at home in a building with roots in the 1880s. The food is wonderful, from the pastries at breakfast to the dinners downstairs in the Southern bistro. On Sundays you can order off the brunch menu. Staying in this charming, tree-lined village, you're within walking distance of Charleston Harbor and the nearby fishing community. Pros: unique lodging experience in Mount Pleasant; prices are as affordable as some chain motels on the highway; close to Sullivan's Island and Isle of Palma. Cons: some minor old-building woes including creeky wood floors; not plush and has few cushy creature comforts.
