Rhett House Inn

Very special Shout-Out to Beverly, who prepared one of the best breakfasts of my life! Hugs. Thank You!

We had been wanting to stay here for years. We lived in Beaufort and always thought the Rhett House Inn was a beautiful place! Unfortunately our stay was disappointing. The inn was under construction, which is understandable, but we thought that should have been disclosed when we made our direct booking reservation. The mattress in our room was incredibly uncomfortable - time for a replacement. We may try again in the future but we’re very disappointed in this stay.

Arriving at the Rhett House Inn for a girls’ weekend, we were greeted by innkeepers Robin and Emma who both went above and beyond to acclimate us to the property. They made sure we had the codes we needed to access our accommodations, gave us maps of the nearby business district, suggested great dinner recommendations, shared some history of the inn (and it has plenty of history), and told us about the sumptuous snacks in the commons area. Also, an array of homemade desserts were offered nightly for guests returning from dinner in the evening. We stayed in the Newcastle House which was just incredible. Separate from the main house, it had two bedrooms (each with a private bath), a kitchen equipped with oven, microwave, dishwasher, large refrigerator, Keurig coffeemaker and all the plates, glassware and utensils anyone could possibly need. There was a spacious area for gathering that felt more like a home than a hotel and screened porches overlooking the main house and gardens with wind chimes softly ringing in the breeze. Attention to detail was apparent everywhere from relaxed outdoor common areas, to plush terry cloth robes, to bikes to explore the town … thoughtful touches for guests to enjoy were noticed and appreciated. Lastly, this review would not be complete without mentioning the complementary breakfast. The choices were numerous from French toast, blueberry pancakes, eggs, bacon, hash brown potatoes, grits (some of the best we’ve ever tasted), yogurt parfait and biscuits fresh out of the oven. Tea, coffee and juice rounded out the delectable selections and it was impossible to make a bad choice! The only downside to our stay was that it wasn’t long enough … we plan to return (maybe next time we will even include our husbands)! 🙂

Beverly the cook was truly outstanding. Best breakfast I’ve had traveling. Her recipe for grits is fantastic!!! Very nice lady!! Robin at the front desk was as helpful as anyone I’ve dealt with. Extremely professional and very friendly. Represents the Inn in all aspects in an outstanding way!!! Kris and Mike McDuffie

in full disclosure we did not stay at Rhett House. We made a booking for early May this year. Booked fully refundable rate with 7 day notice required. Instead they charged in full for the 3 nights two rooms. When I discovered it they blamed it on computer system. I said okay just leave it. Then we were unable to travel and needed to cancel. I did so with more than 7 day notice and refund to be processed. When the refund did not come after a few days I made inquiry and was told that refunds are "staggered" whatever that means. When I called was told only Aimee can deal with refunds and she teaches school all day. I emailed and was again told the refunds have been done. Not what AX told me. In the end I finally got the credits issued with threat of dispute with AX. I then did some research and this seems to be commonplace for this property so be warned. Also during our stay the entire Veranda and front of house were to be under construction but no one told us. You can see many mention this on reviews. I am just posting this as I would have found this info useful in advance.
