A river seems a magic thing. A magic, moving, living part of the very earth itself. A short distance north of the Lowcountry is a jewel of a place steeped in history called The Rivertown. Situated along the banks of the Waccamaw River, Conway, South Carolina, is the county seat of Horry County. But, more importantly, it is home to The Spivey House, a gorgeous waterfront Greek Revival Bed & Breakfast surrounded by majestic oaks draped in Spanish Moss. This historic property in the center of town offers privacy and seclusion yet is walking distance to downtown attractions. Join us as we recap a stay at this grand southern home as tranquil as the still-moving, mysterious black water it overlooks.
