The Carolina low country is beautiful, and the Inn does not disappoint. A most amazing physical experience, with Spanish Moss covering the many trees, and countless lagoons and streams and a beautiful river. The reception is welcoming and the service equals the ambiance. The cottages are absolutely perfect, with everything you would want, and decorated beautifully and comfortably. Whoever designed... More

One a half times the size of Manhattan Island at 22,000 acres, Palmetto Bluff is a private resort, with extremely low levels of housing within an unspoilt, carefully managed nature/ eco sanctuary. The drive alone from the entrance to the "village" is about 4 miles long, following the same roads as Native Americans used, lined with large oak trees, dripping... More

I came here with wife and 5&7 year old kids mostly on the strength of a 3-hummingbird classification by Andrew Harper, which is the best of the best. The resort is on a beautifully manicured island development and the 6 minute CD you get at the welcome gate and the drive to the inn gives you a fantastic first impression.... More

We had a wonderful stay at the Palmetto Bluff in early April. While we marked PB 5 stars above, we're really hovering around 4.5 stars for the reasons below. While the weather was less than cooperative, the overall service and amenities were wonderful. We had a private cottage facing the lagoon. When the rain stopped, we watched the sun rise... More
