We so appreciated the warmth and welcome of the Phoebe Pember House. Thank you for your tea making, reservation/taxi assistance and recommendations for all the things that make Charleston worth the trip!! We especially are grateful for the Friday evening we spent listening to the three men reading poetry in your studio. That was a totally unexpected delight. We so... More

Terrible stay. Room was nothing like the photos on the website. King bed was two doubles pushed together. Ceiling cracked and needed repair. Bathroom very small (6 x 10 if that). Make sure you see the room before you make any reservations. More

Dear Future Guests, It is with sadness that I have read this review of Phoebe Pember House, our beautiful and historic oasis in the heart of Charleston. Our guest books for each room are filled with many happy notes from our guests. Phoebe Pember House is a 200 year old historic property which earns the highest ratings from the Preservation... More

Our family visited Phoebe Pember house in May during the Spoletto Festival in Charleston. We had a great experience there. We received top notch service and special attention from the B&B staff and owner. They were able to give us great recommendations for what events to attend and where to dine. The location is ideal; we were able to walk... More

I have stayed at the Phoebe Pember House a number of times over the past year and am always delighted by my rooms, the pleasant staff, the morning breakfast, and the unique amenities this bed and breakfast offers. The Phoebe Pember House is a one-of-a-kind lodging because it offers yoga, meditation, and even private counseling on-site in a calming, centered... More

I know Charleston, I know Charleston bed and breakfasts, and believe me, you can do LOTS better than the Phoebe Pember House! I booked the carriage house for a couple of days' stay in September---we'd brought friends from France who'd never been to Charleston and thought having that extra space would be ideal for two couples. Besides, the photos of... More

This had to be the most horrific B&B experience I have ever had! Very overpriced tacky closet of a bedroom. Antiques Not! Beuatiful art Not! Website is very misleading - have no idea who Ms Pember was or what the house looked liked. If you want breakfast go into town. rock hard Muffins and croissant....Yum. smelly room...noise from the street... More

I found Phoebe Pember house to be just the peaceful retreat I needed to get away and quiet my thoughts. The bedding in the Kitchen House room was just too luxurious to stay out of, so nap time was on the agenda - and blissful. The Yoga right there on the property was unlike any I'd experienced in 10 years... More

I couldn’t have envisioned a better place to spend our wedding anniversary! The carriage house was the perfect choice, very quiet and with its own private entrance. We found the breakfast to be exceptional. We especially loved all the organic offerings. You just don't find that too many places. Your custom-made granola is the best we've ever been served. The...

Inkeeper met us, showed us our room with gorgeous antiques in it . Comfortable bed and atmosphere. Every request was responded to. Breakfast bountiful, beautiful, nutritious, engaging conversation. Group microwave and refrigerator helpful. Meditative, quiet surroundings for personal retreat. Forward looking offerings - I attended four extremely helpful programs. More

In my several stays at Phoebe Pember House I consistently experienced southern hospitality at its finest. The staff welcomed me with friendliness, courtesy and competence. My room was comfortable, with furnishings from the old south, creating an atmosphere of another age in which each piece was individually crafted with skill and care. I could look out the window of my... More
