Rhett House Inn
Beaufort’s trifecta of gorgeous historic inns is rounded out by this romantic, award-winning hotel, a Greek Revival masterpiece built by Thomas Smith Rhett in the 1820s (the cottage dates from 1864, and once served as a store for freed slaves). Though the interior retains much of the historic ambience, this is no chintzy B&B—rooms are a blend of antiques and oriental rugs with fresh orchids and contemporary style with flatscreens on the wall. Tea, lemonade, and tempting homemade cookies are available throughout the day.
