Plan your Perfect Escape for a day, a weekend or a week. Develop the Fine Art of Doing Nothing. True Southern hospitality. Located in the heart of Winnsboro's historic district, Songbird Manor is surrounded by homes dating to the 1800s. The house used by Lord Cornwallis during his encampment of 1780 is just down the street. Experience a fine example of America's "Golden Age", when wealthy self-made men of the early 20th Century built lavish homes to reflect their success. Songbird Manor is a showcase of expert workmanship from the regal molded plaster ceilings to the extensive oak detail moldings and massive chestnut pocket doors. Furnished in traditional furnishings accented with antiques, we've thought of everything. Just pack a suitcase and prepare to relax, unwind and enjoy. Beveled glass greets you in the front doors and parlor windows as well as extensive dental molding, wainscoting and columns of fine oak. Massive pocket doors of oak and chestnut separate the main rooms. Each of the main rooms downstairs have exquisite molded plaster ceilings rarely seen in private homes. Upstairs, a sitting area in the front center hall is available for guests. Mockingbird Porch is adjacent to the Paroquet Room. Each of the five guest bedrooms has a private bath, fireplace, and ceiling fan. Three of the baths have tubs original to the house. Storytelling weekends and special holiday weekend packages are available.

A serene retreat on seven park-like acres offering the charm and elegance of a European Guesthouse. Ma maison "my house" at Honeysuckle Acres is a massive four-column colonial home built in 1927. The house is reminiscent of an antebellum mansion. It is set on seven park-like acres and is complete with the original stables and the original carriage stone in front. In 2002, Harold and Patricia Frish purchased and remodeled the home for use as a small Bed & Breakfast. The home is a stunning setting for teas and receptions, both inside and out. A forty-foot ballroom and an equally large arched entrance hall with winding staircase are ideal backgrounds for bridal pictures. The ballroom is brightened by eight windows adorned by antique cornices from the circa 1854 Lace House, the governor's mansion in Columbia. The Innkeepers have a passion for Europe and have chosen to style the home after the manner of a small European guesthouse or "pension" with all continental amenities. Furnishings are an eclectic mix of fine European and American antique and classical furniture. Honeysuckle Acres has two guest rooms available for lodging with the possibility of a third connected as a suite with a shared bath. Cable TV is available in the two main bedrooms. Turn down bed service, imported chocolates on your pillow, and imported waters are provided.
