EXTENDED STAY FARMSTEAD LODGING ON THE CAROLINA COASTAL PLAIN
Big Mill has always been a working Farm. And while portions of the farm are now devoted to the Bed and Breakfast Extended Stay, our fields still produce yields of cotton, tobacco, soy and pecans. When you stroll around the property, here are some of the sights to enjoy.
