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.
Named "one of the coolest hotels in America" by Thrillist, it attracts visitors from all over the world.
Once a working plantation, the grounds still include a cotton gin and other outbuildings and equipment.
The grounds also include several sharecropper shacks, which are now used to accommodate guests.
Practically unchanged since its days as a plantation, the shacks have been updated just enough to provide a comfortable stay.
Each of the shacks are named and...
...have a theme, making them unique from one another.
Step inside, and you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay...
...along with eclectic decor and vintage memorabilia.
Although each shack is different, they all have a cozy porch for relaxing.
The grounds also include Cotton Gin Inn - a former cotton gin building that has been transformed into 10 guest rooms known as "bins."
The quaint bins boast qualities reminiscent of yesteryear, such as tin roofs and cypress walls.
Head on over to the lobby, and you'll find the onsite restaurant.
Known as Rust, it offers a lively atmosphere, funky decor and musical entertainment.
The only thing better than the atmosphere is the food, which is described as "fresher, lighter takes on traditional southern fare."
