Discover The 1718 - Chesnut Cottage Inn's Secret Speakeasy
Tucked beneath the historic heart of Chesnut Cottage Inn lies The 1718, Columbia's best-kept secret and our favorite little rebellion against the ordinary. Step through the hidden door (yes, it's actually hidden), and you'll find yourself in a dimly lit, time-warped hideaway that feels equal parts 1920s intrigue and worldly wanderlust.
This isn't just a room - it's a collection of stories. Vintage relics from our travels mingle with Civil War-era echoes: an antique globe that's seen more continents than most people, brass candlesticks that flicker like old secrets, framed maps of forgotten places, and shelves lined with curiosities that whisper tales from far-off lands. A full bar awaits (bring your own spirits - we'll provide the ice and the atmosphere), a cozy seating area perfect for conspiratorial conversations, a large-screen TV tuned to SEC showdowns, and even its own private bathroom.
The 1718 is yours to command.
Book it for intimate gatherings, small celebrations, or that perfect after-wedding escape when the main house feels too big. We've hosted city council retreats, late-night karaoke for entire-inn rentals, and private parties that spill laughter until the small hours. Cater it, bring the band, or simply let the room work its quiet magic.
Very private. Separate entrance available. Utterly unforgettable.
