Located in downtown McCormick, this historic hotel, now called McCormick Inn, is over 110 years old and has been meticulously restored to its former elegance. Ceiling fans on the porch for summer dining, combined with the warm welcome of the owners and staff, will create an ambiance to rival many "upcountry" bed and breakfasts.
The warm glow of the gas lights in the dining room and a hint of classical music create a relaxing environment in which to enjoy the menu. It is a wonderful blend of traditional Southern dishes and cosmopolitan fare, served by a caring, professional staff.
