Carrie Oak Retreat
Admittedly, I wasn’t sure what to expect as we rolled down a more and more sparsely populated road. It was a welcome relief to reach the end and see host Paul’s friendly face, as he waved us through the gate and into his property. Carrie Oak Retreat is a lovely oasis, quiet and peaceful (during our stay, there weren’t any guests in the adjacent AirBnB house). It’s designed for trailers and folks towing boats, and we had no trouble navigating our 22’ Airstream in the roomy clearing and getting backed into the level spot near the RV hookups. The birdsong was delightful, and the pond’s stocked fish were just starting to get more active as winter turned to spring.
After a restful night, we drove the 15 minutes into Georgetown, South Carolina’s third-oldest town. It’s pretty charming and walking the downtown streets and Harborwalk made for an enjoyable morning. With more time, we might’ve visited one of the town’s many historic museums – maybe next time?
