Canoe is the place to be if you're looking for a remote and private retreat. Located in the largest private wildlife refuge on the Edisto River, canoe cabins are accessible only by canoe.

The cabins, which sleep between two and eight people, are made of all-natural material and feature a full kitchen, futons, outdoor dining area and grills. Guests receive a canoe and paddles to use throughout their stay. The 150-acre wildlife refuge offers shaded hiking trails, cypress/tupelo swamps and abundant wildlife.
