Beaufort SC Bed and Breakfast – The Rhett House Inn
SOUTH CAROLINA’S HISTORIC LOWCOUNTRY – WHERE IT ALL BEGAN . . .

One of America’s best-kept secrets, Beaufort, South Carolina is an enchanting antebellum town on the Beaufort River. In the heart of the beautiful, historically rich backdrop of the South Carolina Lowcountry – site of the second European landing on American soil - this “Queen of the Carolina Sea Islands” boasts one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in America, and is one of the famed “Colonial Sisters” along with Charleston, S. C. and Savannah, Ga. Among the city’s stunning array of antebellum mansions, parks, and historic sites is The Rhett House Inn. The ca. 1820 Thomas Rhett House, the ca. 1864 Cottage, and Newcastle House blend the grace of the old South with urban panache and plush modern refinements.
