According to Southern Living’s list, “The South’s Best Inns 2017,” Mississippi is home to one of the most unique inns in the country – the Shack Up Inn. Located in the Mississippi Delta, the plantation-turned-inn offers accommodations that are far from typical. Brimming with history and providing a stay unlike any other, the Shack Up Inn is definitely deserving of its spot on the list. Take a look:

The Shack Up Inn is located in Clarksdale, just a few miles from the legendary Crossroads.
