Inn Details
Come relax in this appealing, home away from home atmosphere, in charming downtown Charleston, SC. Located in the historic Harleston Village, Merhaven Bed no Breakfast has been described by our guests as "casualy elegant", "highly affordable", and "a lovely place to stay". A 1920s arts and crafts bungalow, our Bed no Breakfast offers two spacious rooms with 10' ceilings, lots of windows, hardwood floors, and beautiful, comfortable decor. The shared bathroom offers a choice of a tub or a shower. Our large, open courtyard and lush gardens offer the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the soft coastal air after a delightful day of touring, shopping, or playing on the beach. Tables, benches, and comfy chaise lounge chairs are situated near the old pecan tree, which will shade you while you sip your favorite drink, or enjoy a midday snack. A short, ten minute walk finds you in the heart of the historic, downtown Charleston shopping district. You are within close proximity to the Battery, several city parks, and numerous breakfast cafes and gourmet restaurants. We are near the Medical University of South Carolina and just down the street from the College of Charleston, and a mere twenty minute drive to one of three area beaches: Folley Beach, Isle of Palms, and Sullivan's Island.

I stayed at Merhaven over the weekend so I could be within walking distance of BSBI synagogue. The rate was reasonable and the tea and coffee maker (and tea & coffee provided) was a plus. Most outstanding, though, was the beautifully furnished & decorated room - a delight to be in.
Great location. Just walking distance from downtown

Just on the edge of downtown. A great quiet place to stay. Enjoyed the beautiful garden and peaceful surroundings. If you enjoy walking this is the town to see and the place to stay. Easy access to Folly Beach too.

My husband and I stayed at Merhaven for two nights and were delighted. The room was airy and attractive, our hosts were helpful, and the enclosed courtyard was a cool, delightful retreat. It is, as they state, a bed with no breakfast, but they provide a small refrigerator and you can make your own coffee. The price was also right, and we would stay there again in a heartbeat.
The room is great but the GARDEN is heavenly!

We were so happy to find a bed (didn't need breakfast) available in a gracious,stately home to enhance our stay in Charleston. The BEST part was having the wonderful garden for early morning coffee (provided by our hosts) and late night moon-watching. You'll find yourself relaxing in the greenery after a stimulating day, and don't we all need more of that!
Great place to lay one's head
