The Charleston Inn Squirrels
Our most delightful guests
These charming locals have made our moss-draped courtyards their home - captivating guests with their spirited antics. Whether darting across cobblestone paths or peeking curiously from the branches, they add a whimsical layer to the serene beauty of the gardens.
Each morning, as sunlight filters through the oak trees, you might spot one of these furry characters beginning their day. Some scurry down to greet early risers enjoying coffee on the porch, while others seem to pose for the perfect photo, fully aware of their role in the Charleston Inn experience.
Their bold and cheeky personalities make them impossible to miss—perhaps even sitting nearby, curiously watching as you enjoy an espresso. Over the years, the squirrels have become a cherished part of the Inn’s story, inspiring countless photos and even a few nicknames.
You might hear guests swapping tales about Scruffy, the acorn enthusiast, or Bella, the acrobatic jumper. Watching their playful chases and graceful leaps between branches has become a favorite pastime for visitors of all ages.
Take a moment to soak in the charm of these spirited residents during your stay. Whether stealing the spotlight during a stroll or offering quiet entertainment from a sunny perch, the Charleston Inn squirrels remind everyone to slow down, enjoy the moment, and share a laugh.
