The Perfect Home Base to Explore The Carolinas, See Family, or Find Quiet
Placid Acres Country Escape Quiet, peaceful, private - a perfect home base for visiting family, hunting history, visiting beaches, or exploring the Carolinas. It is also a safe, comfortable home base when you are ready to do some exploring. Conveniently located for day trips to cities, beaches, Revolutionary and Civil War sites, numerous antique stores, farmer’s markets, and centuries of historic architecture in Bennettsville and nearby towns.
Located less than 90 minutes from Myrtle Beach, Sumter, and Camden, SC, and Fayetteville, NC. 2 hours from Charleston/Charleston beaches, Columbia (South Carolina), and Ocean Isle Beach, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Wilmington, North Carolina.
This cozy one bedroom, one bathroom, second-floor apartment (not accessible) is nestled in the South Carolina countryside. Just 3 miles outside of Historic Bennettsville, SC, and on the property of historic Placid Acres Farmhouse (circa 1796), this escape sits 500 yards away from the main house and is surrounded by trees on three sides, providing privacy while allowing the bucolic view of farm fields on the fourth side.
The quiet location provides peace and calm when you want to enjoy a cup of coffee on the screen porch or read a book in air-conditioned comfort. Watch the lightning bugs (summer) from the porch in the evening and listen to the birds in the morning. Guests are invited to walk around the field, sit in the shade of the pecan trees, or enjoy the gardens and front porch of the historic main home. This is the perfect vacation place for a writer’s retreat, a relaxing get-away-from-it-all break, a home base for visiting family or an exploration of all the Carolinas have to offer.
This upstairs apartment sleeps 4 adults in two queen-sized beds. One bed is in the bedroom and the other is in the central room. Two televisions and Blu-ray/DVD players with numerous movies and card games are available for entertainment. The kitchen includes a full-sized refrigerator, stove, oven, toaster oven, Keurig machine, and hot water electric kettle. Coffee and tea are provided. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the dishes and utensils you need for cooking and dining. Al fresco seating for two on the screened porch and a small table for two in the eat-in kitchen are available for dining.
All linens and general toiletries are provided. Black-out shades are provided in the bedroom.
Price per night: $65

Thank you for your kind words! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and we could offer you a comfortable and clean place to rest. We love hosting travelers and vacationers. Stop back any time!
Great little getaway. Spacious for my family and us to get away for the night together. Tucked away from eveything but close enough to get things if needed. Host was nice and responsive, if we are in the area next year I’d be happy to come back!

Thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed our little escape. We look forward to seeing you next year.
Needed a place to stay close to a relative and Placid Farm was perfect! Quiet and serene! I enjoyed evening walks around the property. Bed was very comfortable. Nice touches with the amenities. Host Jackie was wonderful to work with and was flexible when my schedule changed. Check in and checkout were super easy. Highly recommend!

Thank you for the kind words. We are so happy you enjoyed your time at our little slice of contentment. We look forward to hosting you again next time!
Jackie quickly answered our questions and was welcoming. We particularly liked the quiet off-the-beaten path location and the ability to cook our own meals in the kitchen. We will plan on staying here again when in the area.
This was my second time staying at Placid Acres. It's a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. The apartment has a homey, cozy feeling to it. There is a fully equipped kitchen if you want to cook. There is a Keurig and the owners provide complimentary coffee and tea (you will need to bring your own creamer and sweetener if desired). There are plenty of bath towels and they provide soap/shampoo/conditioner. Placid Acres is a great place to stay while in the Bennettsville area!
We enjoyed our stay at Placid Acres. It served our needs perfectly. Jackie was an excellent host, pleasant and very accommodating. The fresh farm eggs was a nice and delicious bonus.

Thank you, Kim! We were happy to have you. We hope you will return when you next visit the area. -Jackie
Placid Acres is a quiet and cozy place to stay when in the Bennettsville, SC area. So much better than staying in a local motel. The owners provide complimentary coffee and tea. The shower has a soap, shampoo, and conditioner dispenser. There are plenty of towels. There is kitchenware and cleaning supplies if needed. I slept on the air bed in the living room and it was comfortable for me. I would definitely stay at Placid Acres VRBO again!
My wife and I were traveling through and stayed for just one night. The property had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the kitchen area so we could prepare food for ourselves. Super quiet and private stay. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your kind words. We are delighted to hear the bed was comfortable and check in/check out was easy. We do find our little piece of country a quiet and relaxing place. So glad you enjoyed your stay.
We had a lovely time staying here. Came in for the race weekend. Not a bad drive distance from the track or Bennettsville. You are in a beautiful country setting. Great place for a couple. All the needed amenities for a short vacation. Well done.

This place is a gem! It is a quiet beautiful spot that I would recommend no matter what you're in the area for. Very clean, with a air conditioning, full kitchen, etc. You will be delighted you picked this place. Less than a couple hours away from Myrtle Beach. The host is AWESOME! Do yourself a favor, and grab this spot if you can!
My wife and I are there for a few nights to hang out for the Darlington Nascar race! Short, 30 min drive to the track. If you can find another reason to visit Bennettsville, this property is Well worth the stay!! The town is full of rich history with many historic sites to visit. The property was Amazing!! It was very peaceful and clean. Ms. Jackie was a wonderful host! Once we got there, they were very prompt to respond if we needed anything. We will definitely be back if they allow us ;) God is Great---
