Rhett House Inn

4.0 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (615)
"The Rhett house takes you to great southern hospitality at its best. The Inn sits on a corner of downtown that is walkable to many restaurants and steps away from the bay. The checkin was easy and offerings of cheese tray followed by deserts was a great bonus to the spacious cottage room we had. The next morning we sat on the veranda for a delightful breakfast. The Rhett House Inn is a must for hospitality and location."
