Absolutely amazing place to stay in Charleston. Around the corner from the best restaurants, and gorgeous rows of houses. The John Rutledge House Inn is much more than B&B, packed with amenities and unparalleled customer service. The building and rooms are grand while still intimately historical.

Very Pleasant Stay

We spent 5 nights in the main building and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The location is great, facility good, and staff is excellent. We felt quite pampered to have a made to order breakfast served at our choice of locations. We would look forward to a return visit.

Wedding Stay

My entire family took over the John Rutledge House for my wedding. They were incredibly courteous, helpful, accommodating and service oriented. The home and amenities were top notch. We absolutely loved the staff - you can't beat the location either. We were able to walk everywhere. We will definitely be staying again.

Wow!

This house has a style of its own! Beautiful iron work. The marble stairs offer a grand entrance, the green blue iron is beautiful, even the sidewalk out doors shows the significance of this family. Anytime you can stand in a place of history and think back to a time long past and be in awe of its grander.
