This place is great, really interesting little shacks with quirky decor. We were in the red shack and it was lovely inside. Although everything looks vintage, it has all mod cons and is totally clean. We only stayed for a night, I wish we could've stayed longer !

We absolutely love the Shack Up Inn, it was a perfect retreat for my husband and I for our anniversary. We enjoyed the rocking chairs on the back patio everyday, and we love the Bins! We had everything we needed for our stay there. We are definitely going to return. You have to experience at least once.

Really nice people and a great atmosphere. Cool old sharecropper cabin, but with electricity, shower, coffee maker, fridge, etc. Good value for a familsy of 4 and the staff was super nice to our kids. Plus they stock awesome beer at reasonable prices, tell you what music is playing in town and even (when it's not Sunday night) have music... More

Quirky, Friendly and Fun. We were on a music tour around the Mississippi Delta and Clarksdale was one of the must do places, when looking for somewhere to stay prior to arriving in the states I found the Shack Up Inn online and booked two nights, Saturday and Sunday, we ended up arriving on the Friday instead and managed to...

Went to Clarksdale MS with our Motorcycle group for the long weekend. When we turned the corner to enter the property, we also turned back Father Time to an era when large plantations were the norm in the south, and the workers not only worked on the plantation, the lived in shacks and spent their money at the company commissary....

I loved staying in the Chicken Coop shack. The decor was a photographer's dream. Stayed here only one night, but wished we had more time to stay longer. Not only are the shacks and the whole complex incredibly beautiful and unique, but incredibly clean, cleaner than the chain hotels and more affordable than most hotels too. The Chicken Coop gave...

I studied civil rights laws ,Jim Crow law, and the laws of Mississippi and the other deep south states from 1896-1965 when the federal government stepped in.....to have the chance to stay on an actual plantation, and spend the night in an actual sharecroppers shack....well for me it was a dream come true.......The owners and friendly staff have put great...

On the second night a local blues musician Lightnin Malcolm was playing at the Chapel and that was a great gig and a late night. decided... More

We stumbled across this place on the Internet, and I'm so glad we did! There were only two rooms left when I booked, one being the Chicken Coop where we ended up staying for one night. What a treat! The screened-in porch and the comfy bed along with sparkling lights really made for an interesting evening. We ventured into Clarksdale... More

One word of advice to travellers, make sure you book... More
