This place is a step back in time... a great blues venue and inn. Please don't ask about the thread count, or miss out on the music.

The Ron Renken was hit by 90mph straight line winds on January 10. All is good though!

The so-called shack we stayed in was not old. It was built to look old, and they did a great job. They're building more and including silos into the mix. Very nice staff and great bar.

I am in the Gunny Shack as I write this. I love it. I grew up in the middle of an orange grove and the house was similar (although much bigger) than this, and this takes me right back. The staff is very cool, the prices are reasonable and you're about 3 miles from Robert Johnson's "Crossroads." It's different, it's quirky and it's very very cool. Not to mention they loaned me a guitar at the front desk and I have a piano in my shack.
[Gene Murrell, 01/02/2017]A wonderful place. We visited from California, our 3rd visit. I just noticed that someone wrote that it was racist! When they set-up and opened the Pine Top Perkins shack, Pine Top (famous blues piano player) himself was there for the opening.
The people who own and run the Shack Up Inn are wonderful people. Most assuredly not racist, but have a love for all people and cultures. I highly recommend a stay there.
