The Rhett House Inn is on the cover of the June/July issue of Southern Lady magazine with a wonderful article about Beaufort and the Lowcountry and its friendly welcoming people. The Rhett House is also the only southern inn featured in an article in the ‘American Summer’ issue of Departures Magazine this month which is published for Platinum America Express card owners. “I am happy to have helped bring positive attention to the beauty of Beaufort, its friendly people, and the great staff at the Rhett House Inn with these articles” said Rhett House Inn Marketing Director Lanier Laney. The Rhett House is celebrating its 150th anniversary as one of Beaufort’s premiere Bed & Breakfasts this summer, having first opened in 1865. Margaret Mitchell, while writing Gone With the Wind, stayed at the Inn in 1930 and named her famous character Rhett Butler after the Rhett family who built this grand elegant home in 1820.
