The story
Built in 1852. Hosted personally.
The piazza, the haint-blue ceiling, the chalkboard inside the front door that the previous owners wrote and we left. The bones are spectacular. The fig tree out front is real, and gave the house its name.
Cannonborough-Elliotborough is the only neighborhood in downtown Charleston where you can legally rent a private home short-term. Most of the food worth flying for is within a ten-minute walk. You can park when you arrive and not move the car until you leave.

Room
The Living Room
The 1852 fireplace, a slipcovered cream sofa, a brass lamp, the chalkboard inside the front door that the previous owners wrote and we left.
Room
The Kitchen + Hallway
Full kitchen — stainless appliances, dishwasher, drip and French press on the counter, coffee and filters and the small things you forget to pack. The hallway runs heart pine end to end, kitchen at one end and the front door at the other.
Room
The Master Bedroom
King bed, gray tufted headboard, teal velvet bench at the foot. Leaning floor mirror, sliding barn door to the bath. Heart pine floors. A ceiling fan that does the work of an air conditioner most of the year.
Room
The Second Bedroom
Queen bed, upholstered headboard, framed prints above. A slipcovered reading chair tucked into the corner under The Patterns of Charleston print.
Room
The Third Bedroom
Queen bed, upholstered headboard, sunburst mirror, copper-base lamp on a dark wood nightstand. Heart pine floors, two windows, a quieter tucked-away feel.
Room
The Bathrooms
Two full baths. White subway tile, navy vanity, brass fixtures, the kind of wainscot you only get in a 1852 single house. Cotton towels stacked.

Ninety percent are five stars.
There are 5 of us that do a girls trip every year. We had so much fun in Charleston.
The pictures don't do justice. We were impressed with how much space we had.
Wonderful location. Clean, safe, quiet. Great time for our mother's birthday.
Walk-out checkout. Did not have to do a thing except leave. Best checkout ever.
We had a lovely two-night stay. The space was immaculate and had everything we needed.
Great place for a weekend stay. Walkable to downtown. Washer and dryer came in handy with an infant.
