The Ginkgo Tree

Felt so homey and relaxing

The customer service was exceptional. I loved my room. I would book again in the future

A beautiful treasure in the middle of downtown with a river behind it. The home is gorgeous inside and out. David the owner is awesome and very friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was a treat, and the staff was great. Anytime we are in the area we will book with The Ginko Tree as David and his wife Layla created a true atmosphere of "a home away from home"!! Would recommend staying and as well as a venue for events. Many congrats to both of them to the new addition to their beautiful family. Five stars!!

I always prefer to support local or small businesses even when it means paying more. The ginkgo tree inn seemed perfect, and so my partner and I booked less than two hours before we checked in for 3 nights. We were in town for a funeral so didn’t have much time to prepare for this trip and we were thrilled they had an opening (yellow flag since it was Easter weekend). After we checked in we went visiting with our family on this very sad afternoon, and one our family members offered a room to us, and we decided that this would be best for my partner who lost his mother the day before; we really wanted to be with family, but didn’t want to assume which is why we booked a room. Even though we had already booked the ginkgo tree we figured this shouldn’t be an issue because we just made the reservation literally 3 hours prior. I called costumer service and explained our situation and asked if we could change our reservation to 1 night, given our circumstances and the fact that we just made the reservation same day. Of course I’d pay for the first night that’s only fair, but requested if we could please check out early to be with family. Unbelievable they said no, policy was to cancel 7 days ahead. I said, I just made the reservation, I understand why the policy exists, but this situation is different in that 1) we didn’t block another reservation we just booked and 2) we are grieving there is a death please reconsider. They didn’t care. I was shocked. I also requested a call from the owner and the women (who wouldn’t give me her name - odd, very odd) said okay and they never called me back. They are as heartless as a corporation or large chain. We visit mt pleasant 3-4 times a year and will def NOT be staying at this place again. By the way, the tv in our sugarplum room is on the adjacent wall so can’t see it without contorting your neck and there are no dresser drawers or closets so there is no where to hang your clothes, except for 4 wall hooks, which they kindly pointed out as if I was the one who was crazy for asking for a rack to use in my room. the water pressure is not strong and the drains are plugged. A mistake on so many levels. Maybe your visit will be better. But why risk it. These people are uncaring and only Want your money. Must be desperate.

My stay at Ginkgo Tree Inn was more than just accommodation; it was a sensory experience that left a lasting impression. I want to extend my appreciation to David and Layla for creating and maintaining such a magical space. Your commitment to excellence shines through in every aspect, making Ginkgo Tree Inn a destination I will fondly remember and recommend to others seeking a retreat that goes beyond the ordinary.

The property is beautiful. And the owners David and Layla are delightful! Breakfast was perfect. Sweet location too. I enjoyed my stay and wi return.
