Property & History
Anchorage 1770 is a historic mansion turned boutique inn that was originally the Ribaut Club established in 1891. The property maintains its original numbered windows, hideaway booze shelves in the walls, and carved ceilings. Guests can watch sunsets over the marsh from the rooftop deck or enjoy the second-floor swing-bed overlooking the water.
Dining
The on-site Ribaut Social Club serves seafood and local cuisine for dinner, with menu items like ribeye with charred corn and prime pork with purple sweet potatoes. Each morning a complimentary full Lowcountry breakfast is served on the front veranda, featuring options such as pancakes, French toast, and eggs to order. Dinner guests are welcomed by the chef who visits each table to discuss the evening's offerings.
Amenities & Activities
Complimentary bicycles are provided for guests to explore the Spanish Moss Trail or ride to FishCamp and Shell Ring Brewery 5.5 miles away. The inn offers beach chairs and towels for visits to Hunting Island State Park, located 4.1 miles from the property. Turn-down service includes fresh chocolate chip cookies and a carafe of lemon water each evening.
Rooms & Comforts
Rooms are located in the main building or in pet-friendly lower courtyard rooms with private patios. Each room is equipped with sound machines for enhanced relaxation and some bathrooms offer rain-head showers with two shower heads. The inn provides an elevator for luggage access to upper floors, and all rooms feature en-suite bathrooms with plush bedding.
Location
The inn sits across from the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park and is within walking distance of downtown Beaufort's shops and restaurants. Guests can walk to the Reconstruction Era National Park and the Harriet Tubman statue. The Sands Beach is a 4.1-mile drive away, and Hilton Head Airport is 62 km from the property.
