If you’re lucky enough to live in South Carolina, you get to enjoy the best of spring, summer, and fall. Winter, however, can test the mettle of even the most dedicated Sandlapper. You might find yourself wanting to escape the less-than-ideal weather, and fortunately, you can. There are dozens of winter getaways to choose from no matter where you live in the state.
Relax in Landrum
When you vacation at The Red Horse Inn in scenic Landrum, you’ll have your choice of staying in one of six inn rooms with fireplaces and whirlpool tubs or one of six private cottages with a kitchen and private outdoor area. Landrum is just east of the Blue Ridge Mountains and offers spectacular views of the scenic mountain range. Landrum is also home to Campbell’s Covered Bridge, the last remaining covered bridge in South Carolina.
If you’re coming for a special occasion, The Red Horse Inn can arrange a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, or a dozen roses to delight your sweetheart when you check in.
Lounge on Pawleys Island
For a true getaway, consider the Sea View Inn on Pawleys Island. There are no tourist shops, adventure parks, or other beach front fanfare, just quiet homes and bed and breakfasts offering a chance to disconnect and truly relax. The Sea View Inn has been offering spectacular views of the saltwater marsh and Atlantic Ocean since 1937. You can enjoy peace and quiet on a private beach and wholesome low-country cuisine. Guests are treated like family and regularly return to relive the experience. The season at Sea View Inn lasts until the end of November, so book a room today.
If you want to stay off season, consider Airbnb for private rentals on Pawleys Island. Affordable options for the winter range from about $80 to $200 per night.
Get Cozy in Charleston
The Cottages on Charleston Harbor, a mere five minutes from Charleston, are a genuine treat. If you’re celebrating a special occasion this winter such as an anniversary or birthday, indulge in a stay at the cottages. There are 10 cottages on the property, and all offer luxury amenities such as outdoor hot tubs, three full bathrooms, full-sized kitchens, and even daily delivery of the USA Today newspaper. If you’re traveling with your family or a group of friends, the spacious two-bedroom layout of each cottage can easily accommodate up to six guests.
You can use the fully functional on-site business center if it’s hard to get away for an entire weekend. The Cottages on Charleston Harbor also offers a licensed babysitting service so parents can enjoy time together without worrying about little ones. Enjoy a day or night out in Charleston at one of the many theaters or all-season botanical gardens, or take part in a historical tour on foot or by sea.
