5 stars across the board. We loved this place. Large, spacious rooms, beautiful bathroom, wonderful bed set in a historic building. You're a 10min walk to downtown Beaufort. Staff was super accommodating. Will definitely be back.

This place was by far one of the best places weve stayed. The room was so nice up to date and clean. Ive never slept so well in a hotel. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. The bathroom was perfect. They really went above and beyond to make you feel welcomed.
This is a wonderful old home on the National Historic Register that has been converted into 5 really nice rooms. Our room was large and very clean on arrival. We did have some contact with staff and they were very prompt and helpful. The location is great being basically downtown and within walking distance to many attractions. Beaufort is a great town and this is a fantastic place to stay. You will not be disappointed.

I I stayed in Room 1. It was in the perfect location with my child at USCB Beaufort campus. Comfortable, quiet, plenty of space for 2 with a big bathroom. Would like to stay here again.
Really nice historic rooms. Great "Honor" bar for sitting on the veranda. Parking was easy in and out. Nice selection of free TV channels with comfortable furniture to relax.
