There are a few places in particular, though, that are sure to make your stay here all the more special and memorable. Read on for a look at nine uniquely Pee Dee accommodations to consider.

Oak Manor Inn 

Visitors looking for a quiet, scenic retreat not far from all the action will find the best of both worlds at Oak Manor Inn in Hartsville. The inn is nestled on three beautiful acres of lush lawns and gardens, surrounded by 100-plus-year-old live oaks, stunning magnolias, and towering cedar trees, all in the heart of the town’s historic district. 

Each of the historic inn’s five guest rooms (three King and two Queen) have private baths, flat-screen cable TVs, and mini-refrigerators, and three of the suites have cozy fireplaces to enjoy. 

The gorgeous property features a cozy library, a screened-in porch, a sunny outdoor terrace, and a wine bar with a great selection of imported and domestic wines, as well as a variety of beers and ales. 

Even better? You can look forward to a home-cooked Southern breakfast of organic eggs, bacon or sausage, buttermilk biscuits, fresh fruit, grits, coffee and juice each morning during your stay. 

The Mantissa Hotel

If you’re wanting to stay in Hartsville’s historic district but looking for more privacy and amenities than a bed and breakfast offers, The Mantissa Hotel is perfect. This chic boutique hotel houses 17 spacious suites, all with full kitchens, sleep number beds, smart TVs, and in-room Keurig coffee makers.

 

When you’re not enjoying the comforts of your room, head to the on-site rooftop bar for tasty cocktails and panoramic views of downtown Hartsville. You don’t have to be a guest to enjoy the rooftop bar, so you can enjoy the experience no matter where you end up staying.

Abingdon Manor Inn and Restaurant

Abingdon Manor Inn and Restaurant is a hidden gem tucked away in the quaint community of Latta not far from Florence. The gorgeous, 10,000-sq-ft, Greek Revival-style home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and features seven luxurious guest rooms and an upscale restaurant serving up some of the most exquisite cuisine in the region.

Even more impressive, Abingdon Manor is just one of a select few AAA Four Diamond Inns and Restaurants and Select Registry, Distinctive Inns of North America properties in South Carolina.

Make your experience at the inn all the more magical with one of their special packages: the two-night getaway package and the romance package.

Ambrias Garden Manor Bed and Breakfast

Florence’s only bed and breakfast, Ambrias Garden Manor is a special, welcoming retreat for travelers, conveniently located just off I-95. The historic Victorian manor boasts all the East Coast charm you could want, with beautiful, well-kept rooms and generous amenities. 

Beyond the elegant accommodations, guests continually rave about the owners, David and Ella, for their kindness and Southern hospitality—and the delicious, homemade breakfast they make each morning for guests. In the words of one TripAdvisor reviewer, “We definitely found a home away from home.”

Hotel Florence

Another Florence gem, Hotel Florence is a Tapestry Collection Hotel by Hilton located in the heart of downtown within walking distance of charming shops, top-rated restaurants, and lovely outdoor areas.

The boutique hotel features multiple-bedroom suites with full-size refrigerators and kitchenettes, and also houses a spa and an upscale restaurant, Victors, a Florence staple for more than a decade. 

Hideaway Haven Cabin

If you’re searching for a rustic cabin experience just off the beaten path, look no further than Hideaway Haven Cabin in Marion. The cozy cabin is tucked away on 100 private acres with beautiful views and features a large screened-in deck overlooking the property’s large pond, a six-person hot tub, and even a disc golf course. 

When you’re ready to get out and about and explore the area, the cabin is a short drive to not only downtown Marion but also Lake City, Mullins, and other Pee Dee towns.

The Loft at 109

For visitors looking for accommodations that offer charm and comfort closer to all the action, The Loft at 109 is just the ticket. This chic spot is located in a historic building above The Groundout Coffee Bar in downtown Marion, one of the best local coffee shops in the region. 

Rest your head at this classically styled loft featuring modern amenities, and wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and homemade treats from Groundout!

Breeden Inn Bed and Breakfast

There’s more than enough room for your crew at the Breeden Inn & Breakfast in Bennettsville. The stately historic property boasts four late-19th-century houses—The Main House mansion, The Carriage House, The Garden Cottage, and the Retreat on Main—and 13 bed and breakfast guest rooms. 

The inn is filled with gorgeous antiques, stunning historic architectural features, and art and furniture dating back to the 1700s. Just as stunning as the interior is the lush garden and backyard area that’s certified by The National Wildlife Federation as a backyard Wildlife Habitat.

Guests are served a full breakfast each morning in The Main House in private settings. The inn plans a delicious new menu every day featuring a variety of homemade baked goods and fresh breakfast meats. The “legendary” cinnamon French toast is one of the most requested dishes.

Heller House Inn

Heller House Inn offers travelers a unique stay in a 200-year-old home nestled in the heart of small town Kingstree, SC. Described as a “hidden piece of heaven,” the historic inn features three beautifully decorated guest rooms with all the amenities you could need, including cozy fireplaces. 

While guests love the warm feel of the home and the gorgeous aesthetic, they return for the kind and welcoming owners and the delicious food that is “beyond what you can imagine.”
