Wortham House is a circa 1823 gothic revival carriage house (the oldest in this style in Charleston and the USA) located in the center of a city block behind an 1804 private residence in downtown Charleston. Both properties are on the national Register of Historic Places.

Wortham House has three bedrooms in the second floor each featuring twin beds (one of which can be converted to a king), flat screen TV's and full private bathrooms. The house can accommodate 6 adults. The first floor features a large, tastefully furnished lounge perfect for morning reading with coffee and afternoon cocktails. A powder room is located adjacent to the lounge. A dine in kitchen for six is also adjacent to the lounge when breakfast is served until 9am. In the kitchen there is a refrigerator, an oven and microwave for heating of food brought in to the house. Unfortunately cooking per se is not allowed by the city of Charleston.

Wortham House is surrounded by award winning gardens published in multiple magazines and books. It has been most recently recognized by the Smithsonian Archives of American Gardens and the Garden Conservatory of America's Best twenty-five gardens in the U.S. Space in the garden is available for dining. Off street parking for 2-3 cars is incorporated in the garden.

We do not allow pets, children under the age of 18, or cooking on premise. Although your breakfast is included in your rate. The entire property is non-smoking, including the driveway and garden.

Our stay in Charleston was so special at the Wortham House Carriage House. Betsy Johnson was the perfect hostess! The house was clean and the breakfast she brought us every morning was a delicious start to the day. The Wortham House Carriage House is Charleston! We just loved it and will definitely be back.

A step back into time with an "old Charleston" ambiance; a lovely garden that is even more picturesque than the photos; and yet, well-maintained and clean furniture, bathroom, and amenities. This a completely and tastefully renovated "carriage house" feels like a home rather than a rental property.The beds are all single beds not conducive to combining into a king, but this was NOT an issue for our group of senior citizens.Our group spent the afternoons in the lovely garden having "sundowners" and soaking up the elegant and relaxing vibe.I can't imagine a better place to stay while visiting Charleston

Betsy was an absolute gem of a host. She clearly loves this property and takes incredible care of every detail.
