The story of OLD TOWN Bluffton INN

As a work of architectural art, Old Town Bluffton Inn reflects its environment beautifully. Our stately parlor captures the atmosphere of community that defines this small town. The balcony overlooks a vibrant dining and entertainment district that has infused Bluffton with energy and life, while richly appointed guest rooms reflect the hospitality that lies at the heart and soul of the Lowcountry. Among places to stay in Bluffton, South Carolina, the hotel is unrivaled.

For the experiential traveler, it’s an opportunity to be immersed in the culture of one of the South’s hidden gems. For groups, it’s a chance to truly connect with one another amid the fine cuisine and festive atmosphere of Old Town. And for a romantic getaway, there’s simply no other place with the intimate atmosphere, gentle salt breezes, and sultry Southern charm of our one-of-a-kind inn.

Vince and Danielle Harrison
Old Town Bluffton Inn Mascott Camo

As proprietors of Old Town Bluffton Inn, Danielle and Vince Harrison make you feel part of their home from the moment you pass through the front door. Frequently found in the parlor of the hotel, they are ready to welcome to you as their personal guests. A result of deep family ties and Southern upbringing, Danielle and Vince's combined passion for hospitality is apparent during the time you spend. 

Danielle's passion for business and hospitality derives from her late mother, Terry, who was a trailblazer for women in business and politics. Terry's influence is felt through artwork and antique items throughout the hotel, creating a welcoming environment for all to enjoy.

A self-described "shop kid", Vince grew up in a family business of furniture. Through this passion, he found a connection with French heritage furniture - an influence felt at every turn in the Inn.  Together, the couple raise their son, McLean as the latest in a long line of "shop kids". 

In addition to the family, Old Town Bluffton Inn is represented by our friendly mascot, Camo. Camo is a small, delightful dog with a great sense of place and humor. She is truly the spirit of the hotel and welcomes each guest. Though the hotel does not permit pets, Camo offers a unique ability for guests to connect with a delightful Canine Concierge to make you feel at home! 

When you stay at Old Town Bluffton Inn, you are part of the Harrison family. We look forward to welcoming each and every one of you.

But for all the things Bluffton has been, one thing has been constant. It's a rhythm, dictated by the gentle tug of the tide as it ebbs and flows along the banks of the May River. This relaxed pace serves as nature's greatest cure for the hectic tempo of the modern world. Set a spell on the banks of the May and you'll soon find yourself in that rhythm. And when you're in it, you'll never want to leave.

At Old Town Bluffton Inn, it's our privilege to give you a chance to spend a few days or more discovering the simple pleasures of this breathtaking slice of the South. And when you find the rhythm of the tide pulling you back to our shores, we'll have a room waiting for you.

Guest Testimonials

Dear Danielle,

I wish you a wonderful Holiday Season filled with Joy and Happiness. Thank you for always making my time in Bluffton special and meaningful. I adore you and this beautiful environment. Thank you for creating the magic!!

Love, Deirdre

Really enjoyed the Bluffton Inn--very classy Inn. I met both Danielle and Vince which made the experience memorable. Would stay again for sure!
Old Town Bluffton Inn is a gorgeous, immaculate property. Both my husband and I would give it more than 5 stars if we could.
We've both stayed in luxury hotels and resorts across the US and around the world. This property's feel and service are on par with some of the best we've seen.
It's immaculately clean and well maintained. Each room has its own beautifully decorated private bathroom and the pantry is generously stocked. Even better, it's independently and locally owned. The owners are friendly, wonderful people who were on-site every day (even on the weekend).
There is so much to see and do within walking distance. Fantastic restaurants, bars and shops abound. We went to dinner with friends and family on a Saturday night at a fantastic local restaurant within walking distance of the Inn. Walking back we stumbled on two venues playing really great local music.
We highly recommend Old Town Bluffton Inn and will be back!

Dear Danielle,
Thank you so much for welcoming me into your inn on Sunday afternoon. You allowed me to store my luggage in your office for a few hours and even helped arrange transportation to the Savannah airport.
Your Inn is spectacular but your act of kindness to a complete stranger is even more special.
It was an absolute pleasure to meet you, spend a few minutes chatting about your business and life in general, and I know our paths will cross again. I hope to be a guest in your inn on my next visit to the area.
Thank you again.

I could not recommend this adorable Inn more! The devil is in the details and they have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. From the smell of fresh baked goods, the glass of bubbles and warm greeting and the decor to the hand picked decor and custom beds where I slept until 10 am waking refreshed for the first time in years! For a romantic weekend, a solo trip to a girls weekend getaway this Inn is the key!
A genuine feeling of southern hospitality and charm surrounds you when you step in The Old Town Bluffton Inn. From the beautifully decorated living room to the magnificent bar and on up to the rooms each corner tells a story of all the thought that went in to the planning. Each of the inn keepers we met were absolutely wonderful and could not do enough for us. Freshly baked homemade chocolate chip cookies were waiting for us on arrival! We also met the owner Danielle who took time from her busy day to chat with us. Breakfast was in the true southern spirit with a perfectly baked biscuit, sausage ball (homemade of course) and many other home baked options. A wonderful stay and we can’t wait to return!
From the moment we checked in my wife and I were greeted by the most wonderful staff and throughout our stay made to feel at home.
Loved it from the moment I walked in the door. The decorations at Christmas were so beautifully orchestrated. The prosecco was on point. The room was adobes. The breakfast area was the perfect addition and the coffee shop in walking distance was a huge win! Will stay or recommend again!
The Old Town Bluffton Inn is in a great location for shopping, grabbing coffee, and going to dinner. We enjoyed staying in room 201 and especially loved sitting on the front patio having coffee in the morning and during golden hour each evening. The service was excellent and we thoroughly appreciated speaking with Garrett and Aly while taking in the Christmas decor in the lobby over a complimentary cocktail! Everyone made us feel right at home! I would highly recommend staying here.
This was undeniably the very best stay at a hotel I've ever had - The space itself is pure magic and beyond functional down to the smallest detail - The owner/proprietor Vince Harrison and his wife Danielle along with everyone we met: Angel, Shelby, Troy and Bonnie were the kindest most efficient, welcoming people one could imagine - Sue and I left there feeling a little better about things in general - I could not recommend The Old Town Bluffton Inn too highly and sincerely hope to get back there soon
Amazing! This is a beautiful boutique hotel. It's got the feel of a well manicured home from years ago. The rooms are individually styled with an exciting ambiance. We sat in the "lobby" area for cocktails and conversation in the evening. It's in the heart of Old Town Bluffton so walking through this unique community is lovely!
My Wife and I stayed for one night as a stopover on a longer journey. We were so impressed by the hospitality of this charming inn that we would love to come back for a longer stay. The rooms are immaculate, the beds and pillows are like sleeping on a cloud, and the inn itself is decorated beautifully. We can’t wait to return!
