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.

Girls Trip to Charleston was a success and Wortham Cottage was the best choice for it.

What a charming carriage house in the midst of a beautiful garden! Quiet neighborhood which is within walking distance to the downtown area or a quick uber ride! Betsy is the epitome of southern charm and is delight every time you talk to her! She provides a wonderful breakfast each morning ( quiche, bacon and eggs, biscuits, fresh fruit) all delicious and delivered to the kitchen! Daily house service is also included! This was a perfect setting for our annual girls trip! Three bedrooms (twin beds in each) with their own bathrooms!! Large table in the kitchen for game nights!
