About this property

Historic Plantation Home Downtown Charleston

This home is the Historic Gate House of the William Rett Plantation in Annsonboro. We are located just off Meeting Street. There are many excellent restaurants less than one block from the house. The Gate House is located in a beautiful garden which is often on the Charleston Garden Tours. You are shaded by ancient live oak trees with Spanish moss.You can walk to anywhere downtown.


History: The Gate House is part of the William Rett Plantation. The main house is considered by many to be the oldest house in Charleston. The market area is two blocks away. Carriage tours pass the house throughout the day.

Home Tours: This is the perfect location for the spring and fall Charleston Tours of Historic Homes. We are often on the tour. The garden outside the gate house surrounding a pond with water lilies, Koi fish and our fountain is one of the few gardens in Charleston visible from the street.

Nice old house with everything you need, and the perfect location.
If you want to visit Charleston and get a real feel for the historic town, then this is the perfect place to stay. Within walking distance of everything you want to see, and right in the middle of the historic district.

Conveniently located
My husband and I were very pleased with our stay in the Carriage House. Conveniently located within walking distance of Downtown Charleston and very reasonably priced. We will be back!
