The Nicholas second floor carriage house suite has been completely renovated to provide a great option for a small group or family. The carriage house suite has a king room and a separate living room that includes a fridge and coffee bar, secretary’s desk, and pull out couch. The two rooms share one bathroom.

Although upgraded to provide the modern conveniences of daily life, the woodwork, hardwood floors, and other historic antebellum features have been perfectly preserved and restored to offer guests all the chic and modern amenities you’d expect in your own home with the beauty and history of architecture that is 225 years old. This suite has spectacular and unique slate roof lines and the quality craftsmanship of the 18th century, while providing modern conveniences and upgrades for the best of both worlds.

The front door to your room opens to a spiral staircase down to our outdoor terrace that offers a comfortable sitting area where you can have your morning coffee, enjoy a glass of wine, or have a dip in our pool while taking in the magnificent charm of downtown Charleson’s historic landscape. The carriage house is comfortable and quiet. It is an excellent way to be in the action of the city while enjoying a feeling of seclusion and serenity.

Please note the only access to the Carriage House Suite is via a narrow spiral staircase.
