Carolina Heritage Outfitters'
Treehouses
Carolina Heritage Outfitters was founded in 1989 and is the oldest
and most respected outfitter on the Edisto River Trail. Shortly
after its founding, it established the 150-acre private Edisto River
Refuge with over a mile of river front on the longest, undammed
blackwater river in the country. Whether floating down the Edisto on
the way to your secluded site, walking on miles of trails, or
relaxing on the deck of your private treehouse, you will enjoy being
immersed in this fragile ecosystem. Great blue heron, egrets, wood
storks, pileated woodpeckers, wood ducks, wild turkey, and deer are
often seen on the refuge. Frogs and owls serenade nightly. Rental of
a treehouse includes the use of a canoe and a shuttle to the put-in.
Paddle in on Day 1, spend your night or nights in the treehouse and
then paddle out on your last day. Unparalleled privacy and natural
beauty.

The Friendly
Ghosts at The Inn at Merridun
The innkeepers of the Inn at Merridun invite you to
make Merridun your home away from home. Join them in
a small Southern college town where you are offered
the opportunity to savor life at a more leisurely
pace. Look at the beautiful colannaded homes General
Sherman missed. See the South in its colorful
splendor--blooming azaleas, magnolias and wisteria.
Listen and you can hear the birds and squirrels, the
train in the distance or the soft strains of Mozart
and Beethoven? Smell the clean air, the warm
chocolate of freshly baked cookies, country suppers
in the oven, the fragrance of freshly cut blossoms.
The Merridun beckons you to sit on her marble
verandas, sip an iced drink and relive memories of a
bygone era. Complete Story and Photos |
