Georgetown, South Carolina is Nice This Time of Year!

1790 House in Georgetown

Be pampered in the 212-year-old walls of the 1790 House where peace and tranquility abound. The original house was built by one of the most prominent families in South Carolina’s history. The "Allstons" owned many of the Rice Plantations in the Coastal area. In 1812, Martha Allston, the daughter of Benjamin Allston, Sr., married John Pyatt family and moved into the house. The house remained in the Pyatt family until 1896. They owned four rice plantations, Turkey Hill, Oatland, Richmond and Rosemont. In 1791, George Washington toured the South, including Georgetown. He was taken to Benjamin Allston, Sr.’s house where he spent the night. Martha Allston was only two years old then. The Pyatt House-1790 House, is a three story hipped roof residence. The house has five hip roof dormers and a full length one story veranda.

New Innkeepers: Captain Bill and Denise Heurich Gower have changed the look and feel of the 1790 House. Now furnished with art and antiquities carefully selected from around the world, the 1790 House is poised to pamper. “Let us pamper you” is their new tag line and pamper, they do. Luxury bath robes, fresh flowers and 400 thread count Egyptian sheets are just a few of the upgraded items Captain Bill and Denise insist upon. “We traveled all over the world on a weekly basis staying in luxury accommodations savoring what we would keep and noting what we wouldn’t. We loved the pampering and intend to shower our guests with unmatched service, special treatment and amenities.” says Denise Gower, retired Senior Executive from International Telecommunications Sales.

The Gower’s also bring a special package to the Georgetown area. Equipped with Captain’s license and a 44’ Viking motor yacht, “Elysium”, the 1790 House offers a “Cruise and Snooze” package for the public and their guests to enjoy. “It’s a way to enjoy South Carolina from a different point of view” says Captain Bill. Captain Bill tailors each excursion to the customer’s expectations. So far, all have said theirs was exceeded much to their delight. The luxury of a private cruise makes for an excellent surprise for birthdays and anniversaries or just for an afternoon with the dolphins. (They actually had five surfing their wake all the way out to the Georgetown lighthouse!!! Whether you just cruise or just come to snooze, Georgetown’s 1790 House is a way to feel the history in luxury in this quaint historic harbor. Come, let us pamper you.
