About this property
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

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.
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!
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.
It really is a peaceful place to stay. The bed was super comfy. The host was very sweet when we talked on the phone. Check-in couldn’t have been easier.

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!

This was a wonderful property, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jackie was so responsive and kind. I can tell she cares about the porperty! She had a whole binder on info of things to do and places to eat. We didn't have the time to fully take advantage of the location, but it seems like a lot of interesting things to do nearby. The house is behind the hosts' house but felt totally private as there was a good amount of space between us. I believe it was either a historic house or property which was very cool. If you're looking for a clean, safe wonderful space in the area I would highly recommend this space.

A great get-away! The upstairs room has serene views of the crops and woods where the property is located. Parking is right on the grassy lot of the property. The climb up the wooden steps isn’t bad.
The host put small, tasteful details throughout the apartment that made the place cheery and welcoming but not cluttered. She also created a binder of information on places to eat, local history, and things to do. The kitchen has a full-sized refrigerator, stove, microwave, Keurig, electric kettle & an assortment of K-cups & teabags.
The sitting area has 2 recliners that make it perfect to settle down with a good book. Wifi signal is weak but our T-mobile phones worked fine on its network for email, FB & YouTube.
Everything is clean. Keep in mind that this is an updated older property surrounded by fields & woods.
A big plus is the host - she’s accommodating & very responsive even to ‘out of curiosity’ questions!
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.
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---
