The DeWalt House Bed and Breakfast

The DeWalt House, conveniently located in the beautiful downtown area of Historic Newberry, South Carolina, was originally built in 1832 by Daniel DeWalt. His grandson, Dr. O. B. Mayer II enlarged the house in 1906 and made it into the grand home seen today. The house fell on hard times after it suffered severe damage in the 'Tornado of 1984' and was very close to being condemned. Of interest, the large home once faced Main Street and was literally turned to face Walnut Street in 1996. Shortly thereafter, a complete renovation was started which has spanned the last seven years. It now has all new infrastructure complete with modern conveniences. Although the renovations were extensive, great care was taken to preserve its historic integrity. The home is also graced with many antiques and beautiful period window treatments. 

The DeWalt House is considered somewhat of a landmark in Newberry and many residents have cheered on the renovations. Some locals have interesting stories to tell about the house and the prominent family who lived here for five generations.

We would love to welcome you into our home. Relax in one of our spacious guest rooms, all of which are complete with sitting areas, TVs, and private bathrooms. Lazily rock on one of several porches or doze in our garden hammock.  Stroll the shady streets of Newberry and visit nostalgic downtown with its pubs, restaurants, galleries and shops. The highly acclaimed Newberry Opera House is within walking distance from our front door.

In 1996, Newberry was listed in Crampton’s The 100 Best Small Towns in America and, in 2001, Newberry was recognized by Sweitzer & Fields as one of The 50 Best Small Southern Towns. We are delighted to share our home and our warm vibrant town with any and all.
