We had such a blast staying at the Shem Creek Inn!!!

We stay in Charleston several times per year, and this will certainly be our new go-to spot!!! Thank you for everything!

Shem Creek Inn provided beautiful views and lots of dining options in walking distance. While many of the restaurants had live music over the weekend, we could not hear anything in our marsh side room. Additionally there was a boardwalk with a beautiful walk over the marshes. It was close enough to Downtown Charleston, but felt like we were staying at the beach due to the wonderful beach smells!
