3 Best Day Trips from Charleston, South Carolina | Condé Nast Traveler

"The double balconies and Spanish moss framing the façade make this 19th-century antebellum  house almost the quintessence of a Southern mansion—if you close your eyes and smell the freshly-cut flowers in your room, you can almost pretend you're at Tara. Fellow guests are well-to-do, but unstuffy; you'll rarely see anyone enter a common space without a drink in one hand or leave a room without having made some decent conversation (and a new friend or two). Take advantage of the hearty Lowcountry breakfast and the complimentary wine and cheese served at 5 p.m. every night." - Paul Oswell
