Philip Porcher House

Frommer's Review

Hailed by Travel & Leisure as one of the top B&Bs in the South, this beautifully restored 1770 Georgian home stands in the heart of the historic district. Built by a French Huguenot planter, Philip Porcher, the house was renovated in 1997. Handsome Georgian Revival oak paneling was installed from the demolished executive offices of the Pennsylvania Railroad in Pittsburgh. The one rental unit in the house, an apartment on the ground floor, consists of five rooms and is rented to only one party (with two bedrooms, the apartment can accommodate up to four guests, ideal for families). It's attractively furnished with period antiques and 18th-century engravings; good books and music create a cozy environment. A comfortable sitting room has a working fireplace. One twin-bedded bedroom has a fireplace. One bathroom has an elegant glass shower and double sinks. A screened gallery opens onto a wonderful secret walled garden.
