I loved my stay at Rice Hope Plantation. I have always wanted to stay in an authentic historic plantation and it fulfilled all my hopes and expectations, and surpassed them. The comfortable, clean rooms were very tastefully decorated in antiques, as was the whole home. So much history here, it was fun to explore the beautiful grounds and the surrounding... More

Place was in disrepair and unclean; bath water smelled like sulfur. Should be named "Fart Water Plantation".

We really enjoyed our stay at Rice Hope. Lou, the inn keeper, is a fantastic host and interesting lady. She took the time to show us around the house, tell us the history of the objects and crack a few jokes that we appreciated. The house is like a museum with a lot to look at. Once you step inside...

The house and grounds are beautiful. Lou is a wonderful host. Beds were comfortable, it was quiet, and breakfast was huge. Will come back.

The hammock was worth a swing, the camilia's were in full bloom, and the picture... More

Unfortunately we could not afford downtown Charleston. This was so great we did not even go in to downtown. The only drawback for us was there is not a lot to choose... More

We loved our stay at the Rice Hope Plantation. We were the only guests that night in the big old mansion and it was dark, quiet, and a bit spooky. In the morning we had a delicious breakfast cooked by Jamie, the owner and he was very informative about the history of the home. We loved the gardens, too. The... More
