Welcome to the Cabell House!
The Nathaniel Room has a king size Charleston Rice Bed. The windows to the front of the house in this room look out onto the old narrow brick paved Church St. and some of the most charming and historic homes in America constructed during the late 18th and early 19th Century. The windows to the south look over the second floor columned piazza. (That's Charleston for porch.)
The Mantle and entrance in the Nathaniel Room
The Nathaniel Room offers a flat screened tv, a ceiling fan, tea/coffeemaker, and a private dressing room. The room looks out onto the narrow brick street and 18th century houses across the street on the west side and onto the columned second floor piazza on the south side.

Your stay at The Cabell House puts you at the heart of the Old South just steps away from the High Battery and views of Charleston Harbor and Fort Sumter. A stroll up lovely brick paved Church Street to stately Broad Street and on to the famous Market Street area offers a variety of unique shops, unforgettable restaurants, and lively night spots. Inside this charming Charleston family home, the antique furnishings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and broad verandas create an elegant restful environment. Large guest rooms have king size beds, private baths, small flat screen cable TV's and Keurig coffeemakers in every room (for coffee, chai tea, green tea, cocoa, etc..). There is plenty of free parking available and a soothing garden to rest in at the end of the day. Native Charlestonian, Randy Cabell, will help you with recommendations and reservations, for restaurants, tours and entertainment. We serve a full breakfast every morning; eggs as you like them, bacon or sausage for most breakfasts, always a variety of fresh cut fruits, melons and berries, hot croissants and muffins, locally canned preserves, fresh squeezed orange juice, etc... A glass of wine or iced tea is available in the afternoon either by request or serve yourself.

5 out of 5GREAT B&B!!!
November 02, 2012
My wife and I live in Charleston and come here when we need to get away. We love the rooms and the hospitality. No complaints, everything is great!
3.4 out of 5Past Prime, but nice
September 15, 2012
We stayed three nights. The furniture is noticeably worn and the piazza out our bedroom had broken furniture so you couldn't use it. The first level piazza is nice so we used that instead. The room was nice and the cleaning gal did a great job. There is individual coffee servers in the room which is great because I need my coffee first thing. Breakfast was good, but not great. Had fresh fruit and yogurt every morning and a meat/eggs/bread. No special recipes or homemade breads....The front yard was dug up and have to walk across the dirt to get to the front steps....overall a good value for the area.
4.8 out of 5Very pleasant stay!
February 27, 2012
We stayed three nights and did not want to go home. Pleasant clean rooms and great B&B atmosphere overall. The bathroom sink in our room was on the small side, but it worked out well once we got used to it. The breakfasts were fabulous and offered a welcome opportunity to visit with both the B&B staff and other guests. The location is an easily manageable walking distance to historic downtown Charleston. We hope to stay here on future visits to Charleston.
5 out of 5Oh-la-la! Adore Cabell House!

In such a competive market, this place is stellar on every front. It's relatively inexpensive (one would expect to pay much more for such amenities). The accommodations are plush and filled with ambiance (ours was a large corner room with dressing room, anteroom, and gorgeous bath). Were the other culinary offerings in Charleston not so enticing, one could almost exist for the day on Ms. Cabell's copious breakfast. This spotless auberge is a short pedicab away from Charleston's prime offerings, provides parking, encourages pets, and shelters an extremely friendly staff. You can't find any better in the Low Country. Book early as these precious rooms go quickly!

4.0 out of 5Couldn't be in a better location if you tried!
June 05, 2011
This was our first time in Charleston and we could not have picked a better place to stay! The location is perfect, right across the street from battery park and the water! We rode our bikes every! The room was wonderful! We actually had a door to go out to the upper deck and were able to go sit out there and drink our coffee in the morning; it was really lovely. Randy and Nikki were wonderful, very accommodating. We will definitely stay there again! Beautiful house, huge breakfast; you will love it as much as we did!
5 out of 5the perfect inn
March 10, 2011
my daughter and i stayed at this delightful and gorgeous b&b in historic downtown charleston for 2 nights. the room was beautifully appointed, roomy and comfortable. the cabell is in a perfect location (church street) - near the battery and a short walk to all the wonderful attractions charleston has to offer. randi - our gracious and hospitable hostess, and a true charlestonian - was a wealth of information. nikki -the very pleasant inn manager- turned out a delicious breakfast both mornings we were there. we were made to feel like family and didn't want to leave. we will definitely go back there and hopefully the near future!
5 out of 5Incredible Cabell Retreat
January 07, 2011
I stayed in the Cabell House last spring, and found the experience wonderful. Randy was so helpful, hospitable and welcoming, and made our stay most enjoyable. The Inn itself is perfectly located in the historic district, and is beautifully maintained. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone seeking to enjoy all Charleston has to offer.
4.8 out of 5Great Time and Location
April 28, 2010
The Cabell House is truly in the heart of historic Charleston. It is located on Church St. just three houses off the battery. Church St. in this area is a lovely one lane street with hardly any traffic. Great location to walk to all the area sites and restaurants. We were able to enjoy walking to all the garden tours during our April stay. My wife and I stayed for four nights and got to know Randy and her staff. Randy is truly a Charlestonian and had many stories to tell us about growing up in Charleston. We truly enjoyed getting to know her and look forward to going back.
