Coming to Greenville for the food, the shopping or the beautiful mountain vistas? Why not stay with friends? Most of Greenville's bed and breakfast inns are located steps from Main Street, where you'll find top-flight dining and a thriving nightlife, while others offer a more country feel with views of meadows and mountains. All offer a major dose of Southern hospitality. Here are a few of our favorites.
Pettigru Place Bed and Breakfast, 302 Pettigru St.
Nestled in the Pettigru Historic District in downtown Greenville, Petigru Place offers six guest rooms in a red brick Federal-style home built in the early 1900s. Each guest room has a private bath, with rates from $140 to $235 a night. The B&B also features beautifully decorated common rooms and an English garden. Guests enjoy wine and cheese in the afternoon, coffee bar, a full breakfast each morning and a vintage 1929 GE refrigerator stocked with drinks. The rooms feature televisions and luxurious soft robes. No pets.
Swamp Rabbit Inn, 1 Logan St.
Located in Greenville's historic West End, the Swamp Rabbit Inn is two blocks off Main Street. The inn and its six bedrooms are furnished in IKEA pieces, offering a colorful and modern European style. Two deluxe rooms have private baths, while the four standard rooms share hall bathrooms. A continental breakfast is served, and the refrigerator is stocked with fixings for a more elaborate, self-serve breakfast. Visitors can cook their own meals in the community kitchen and mingle on the first floor. The entire house, which sleeps 16, can be rented for $700 to $1,000 per night, or individual rooms can be rented for $110 to $200 night. Close to the 18-mile paved Swamp Rabbit Trail, each room has a bike stand to store your bicycles. Bicycle rentals are available through the inn. Pets allowed with prior approval. Handicapped accessible.
