Swamp Rabbit Inn

Top choice


This fun six-room inn occupies a '50s-era former boarding house downtown. It feels like a hostel but features colorfully decked-out private rooms that are as cozy and quirky as any in the South. Wonderful common spaces include a modern guest kitchen and wooden patio with barbecue.

The whole setup is catered toward the cycling community, with rental bikes and a shop on premises, and it sits just two blocks from the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The innkeeper has opened a second Swamp Rabbit Inn north of Greenville, in Travelers Rest.
