Shack Up Inn

Great place, you stay in silos! Get woken up by cropdusters.

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.

Overnight lodgings at the Shack Up Inn are in old, but upgraded, sharecropper shacks.

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.
