Woodlands InnLocated in the charming village of Summerville and just a short drive from historic Charleston, South Carolina, Woodlands Inn is an immaculately recently restored 1906 classic revival mansion set amidst 42 acres of parkland grounds. The 19-room inn is one of only four properties in North America to hold the Mobil Five Star and AAA Five Diamond ratings for both its accommodations and dining room.

Bob Seidler, general manager of the 19-room Woodlands Resort & Inn in Summerville, S.C., a restored historic estate near Charleston, says his property’s small size and secluded location on 40 acres outside the urban center are giving it a competitive edge in this economic climate against large luxury hotels operated by well-known chains.
Operating costs are lower than those of its center city counterparts, he says, and the setting gives high-level groups the privacy, service and concentration they require.
The Woodlands is also on top of the hospitality industry’s performance lists as one of only a handful of U.S. properties to have received five Mobil stars and five AAA diamonds for both its dining and lodging components. Yet it doesn’t inspire a perception of frivolity for today’s high-level gatherings.
"We have the great accolades, but the property doesn’t scream opulence and decadence like some of the large-brand hotels," Seidler says. "There’s not an immediate perception of ‘wow’ here."
