Rosemary Inn Bed & Breakfast

Kelly and Diana Combs purchased Rosemary Hall from a bank repossession and moved to North Augusta from Southern California in 2009. The inn had been closed for over a year and a half. The couple not only started a business, but took on the challenge to completely restore, renovate, and redecorate, bringing Rosemary back to a state of beauty and grandeur from a bygone era. Over the course of ten years, Diana and Kelly have established an award-winning bed and breakfast enjoyed by thousands of guests both locally and from around the world.

Diana is a Nebraska native and Kelly grew up in Southern California. The two met and wed while attending the University of Nebraska after which they moved to Southern California to start a career and family.

Kelly worked primarily in the medical device sales and sales management businesses. In 2002, Kelly started a real estate development company specializing in medical office buildings. Diana devoted most of her time to raising their two now grown children, Sarah and Caroline.

As a family, they were vigorously involved in music, along with regional and community theater, participating both on stage and behind the scenes. They were also actively involved in their church. Kelly served as an elder and head of missions. Diana worked in women’s ministry and headed up a support group for over one hundred stay-at-home moms and their children. She also ran a home business of hosting regularly scheduled themed and catered luncheons for women. This enabled Diana to perfect her hospitality and creative event planning skills.
