| Rose Hill Mansion at the Rose Hill Plantation |
My husband and I have visited Hilton
Head Island, South Carolina every summer since we got married, and just about
every year, I plan an outing to Savannah to soak up the culture and beauty of my
favorite southern city.
Savannah is less than an hour away
from our home in Hilton Head, and over the last two years, we’ve added an
additional stop in our travels, Bluffton.
Bluffton is about half way between
Hilton Head and Savannah, and recently has been part of a historical and
architectural revival.
Of course, a handful of the old historic
homes have been preserved, but we’re seeing more care taken with the new businesses
to maintain that vintage architectural character.
A walk through the downtown area won’t
take long as you wander through the Spanish moss lined streets that neighbor the
May River.
Downtown Bluffton is as Southern as you
can get! And it’s so safe that the local garden gift shop leaves everything
outdoors without worrying about anyone taking anything!
For the first time last year, my
husband and I toured the Rose Hill Mansion and it was quite a treat. In fact, I
think we were on one of the last tours, as the house is no longer open to the
public.
Here’s a little peek of it and you can
read my story at Cottages & Bungalows to learn a little more about the history of what’s
called the most beautiful plantation house in the south.
Lucky for us the Corner Perk opens very
early and serves an amazing breakfast and great espresso drinks too!
We’re looking forward to our visit again
to Bluffton later this summer, and I’ll be sure to share lots more photos and details
about our visit.
