Indulge in a unique opportunity to spend two nights at the one and only Beulah Cottage on Frampton's Inlet.
2 night stay at "Beulah" Cottage on Frampton's Inlet. Dates to be determined with the property owner.
Beulah is an historic waterfront property facing Frampton's Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean. Located at the end of the beautiful Botany Bay Road, the rustic cottage has 3 bedrooms and additional bunk beds, a large wrap around porch with magnificent views. Access to kayaks for paddling to Eddingsville Beach or Shell Island! Formerly known as Mead's Landing, and for a while as Wilkinson's Landing, the property has a fascinating history and is the site of Hephzibah Jenkins Townsend's famous tabby oven ruins. Townsend was the the owner of Bleak Hall and Sea Cloud Plantations (now known together as Botany Bay) and the cottage's name "Beulah" is from a biblical description meaning "Land of Hephzibah". Hephzibah is a well known historical figure on Edisto Island who used the proceeds from her large baked goods operation to fund the construction and founding of the First Missionary Baptist Church in 1818. The historic cottage, which the current owners have restored, was actually moved to the site in 1915. The home was dismantled into two pieces, each being put on a barge and floated down the South Edisto River, up St. Pierre Creek, and then up Store Creek to Mrs. Wilkinson's home place known as Dill Farm. Dill Farm was located on HWY-174 across from where the Old Post Office Restaurant now stands. Once the two pieces arrived they were loaded on carts and pulled by oxen down Botany Bay Road to the home's current location and reassembled onto the very tabby foundation Hephzibah Jenkins Townsend had constructed in the early 1800's!
