If I had to choose one word to describe my stay here, it would be phenomenal! From the moment I walked into this amazing, beautiful, historic home, I was greeted with joy by the staff, especially Nicole, who went above and beyond to make my stay delightful. The service was impeccable, with incredible breakfasts, Maria, the chef, made the best poached eggs I’ve ever had. The turn-down service and housekeeping were top-notch, room was spotless and dust free. Tea Time was also amazing, and they wonderfully accommodated my gluten-free needs, making the experience even more special. A special touch was the nightcap waiting for me upon my return in the evening, featuring amazing brandy, port, and sherry. The location is perfect for exploring the best points of interest in historic Charleston, all within walking distance. This has been the most exceptional experience I’ve ever had.

The John Rutledge House Inn was everything we expected and more! John, our Concierge, was helpful in every way. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Rutledge House - Highly Recommended
We enjoyed a wonderful 4 day stay at the Rutledge House. The room was spacious, the staff very helpful, and the breakfast’s were delicious. The location is also ideal for exploring Charleston and with almost all sites, shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommended!
