Our second overnight at the Shack Up...5 years apart. Stayed in the "bins" on both occasions. Suggest asking for a second floor room...they have a balcony. Tasty donuts in the morning and great blues music in the evening!

Everything positive in the other reviews is correct. The art of repurposing materials is nothing short of genius. The Shack Up Inn should be visited. I'm just advising folks that the Inn no longer has someone living or staying on site at night. The lobby is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. They have an after hour process for late... More

The 6 of us travelling on the Blues Trail had to stay here or our trip would never have been complete. We had a chance to jam with another guest who turned out to be an amazing blues guitar player and met some really great people. The bar is open until 8 PM and in the morning you get coffee... More

My husband and I had a fantastic time at the Shack Up Inn this Spring. The Shack Up Inn sits on a historic plantation site and incorporates old shotgun shacks and cabins as rooms. All of the independent shacks have open front porches and screened back porches. The Shacks themselves include every thing you could need. I got the impression... More

If you go only one place in Mississippi - make it this place! Fantastic property - shacks are quaint, cosy and clean! Beds are comfy. Staff helpful and super friendly. This has been a true highlight for us! Would recommend this to anyone! Do yourself a favour - STAY HERE! We are two very smitten Australians who wish they could... More

What a place! On our way to Memphis we stayed here one night. Because of the tight schedule there was no room for more than just this one night. Too bad….. Made out of several different but authentic shacks this place takes you back in time. Each shack has its own (his)story, so there is always one that suits your... More

We booked for two nights but loved it so much we stayed a third. It's great fun and very friendly. The beds are very comfortable and everywhere is spotlessly clean. Coffee and donuts (the best ever!) are available in the lobby in the morning. Would recommend Reds for an evening of raw blues, and the Lady Of The Levee for... More

This is the ideal spot for a bit of exploration of Delta Blues country. We came just after the festival unfortunately but still managed to get in some blues in Reds.... you have to give it a try. The cabins are awesome and a real collection of found items - as the guy said when we walked in, you either... More

I love this place. Initially, I found it purely by chance on the internet, and figured it made a good stop on the drive back to Chicago from New Orleans--now I kind of wish I'd cut my New Orleans trip short and spent another day here. The staff is totally friendly and helpful, the place itself is endlessly interesting and... More

I found The Shack Up Inn simply by chance on the internet. My room was very comfortable & clean. I can't say enough good things about how friendly & accommodating the staff were. I actually made friends there & plan on returning as it now feels like family. The shows were fantastic as in the big room. Of course the... More
