My wife and I Ioved the Cabell House. It is a quiet B&B with only 4 rooms. We had the bedroom with a king bed and small bathroom (made from a closet). Although the bathroom was small and the sink was tiny (but we thought it was cute) there was plenty of room. The room was a good size and... more

I traveled to Charleston with a girlfriend and stayed here for two nights - and LOVED it. The house is absolutely gorgeous and the rooms quite spacious. My girlfriend and I joked that we felt like we were on a honeymoon with the beautiful furnishings, balcony and the four poster bed adorned with beautiful linens. The bathroom was clean, and... more

My husband and I have just returned from a 2-night and a 4-night stay at Cabell House in April. Both of our stays were a delightful experience of hospitality, history, and home. I am so fussy and hard to please, this is nearly miraculous. The decor of Cabell House rooms and common areas is what I will call “clean, simple,... more

I had only a few days this school year to take off with my daughter and I chose the Cabell House in South Carolina. What a gracious home and hostess and one who puts you at ease right away! And then when you enter your room you feel like a queen, so elegant and cozy, with grand windows that give... more

The location of the Inn is great, just a few steps to the harbor on a very quiet one way street. We stayed in the Claiborne Room. The room was small and the bathroom was tiny. The sink in the bathroom is extremely small reminding us of an outdoor drinking fountain with little room to even wash your hands. The... more

I do apologize. Guests should certainly be made aware of what the CABELL HOUSE is and what it is not. It is not a Hotel or a Commercial Inn. It is a private family home that was built in the 19th century and that now functions as a bed and breakfast for guests visiting the historic district in Charleston. This...

My husband and I were delighted to have a weekend stay at the Cabell House for our 14th wedding anniversary. Not only are Randi and her husband very kind and gracious proprietors, but Randi is originally from the Charleston Peninsula, and grew up in this house she shares with the public via a B&B. If you enjoy learning about Charleston... more

My sister and I stayed overnight at the Cabell House Bed and Breakfast in Charleston as part of a girls' getaway. I spoke with the proprietor, Randy, by phone when making my reservation and she was very friendly and said she looked forward to meeting us both. However, when we arrived at 3 pm, we were greeted at the door... more

Although we absolutely fell in love with Charleston, we did not enjoy our time at Cabell House. Yes, it was clean and did have some interesting antiques. Unfortunately, we didn't find much southern hospitality or warmth in the service here. Unlike our experience with other B&B owners in the South (and elsewhere), the proprietress was never available to tell us... more

A most disappointing review to read. This was a honeymoon for this couple and the groom was offered a couple of rooms that would be ideal for a honeymooning couple. However, by the time he called to book, these rooms had already been reserved and he was offered the only available one, a small room in the back of the...

Couldn't wish for more. Hospitality, friendliness and cleanliness. We enjoyed every minute and felt very much at home. The house is within easy walking distance of, well ,anywhere in central Charleston and just a couple of minutes from the harbour (no, the spelling is correct - we're from Europe!) more

Room was spacious, super-clean, furnished with lovely antiques, and was very comfortable. The bathroom was new and furnished with European-style fixtures, including a rain-shower head in the corner shower. The off-street parking was very nice to have since the home is so close to the battery. The host family is very friendly and offered use of their piazzas to guests.... more
