This log cabin-style inn was built on land that was once the Snee Farm Plantation, right next to Boone Hall.

The oldest spot on this list, the Governor’s House Inn was built in 1760 as a traditional Georgian-style double house. Today, the house is full of history – from a sweeping dark staircase, intricately carved fireplaces and the wide, polished wooden boards covering the floor.

And once morning hits, claim your breakfast voucher to eat at one of the restaurants nearby.

Just a few blocks north of Charleston’s French Quarter, the Jasmine House is a romantic 1843 mansion, plastered with fine floral wallpaper and stuffed with antique furniture like four-poster beds, 19th-century vanities and carved-bamboo settees. Don’t miss the continental breakfast or evening reception – we recommend enjoying your meal in the back garden – then head out to explore the rest of downtown.
