Book a Welcome Cottage

"Nice properly. Great staff"

"A true treat when in Clemson. Great staff, location, restaurant, and rooftop bar. You feel like family (the good kind! Ha, ha) when you stay at the Shepherd."

"Staff was amazing, loved the restaurant. We will definitely go back again."

"I had an excellent stay at this hotel and was extremely satisfied with the accommodations, cleanliness, location, and overall property. The only drawbacks were that the elevators were out of service during my stay, which made carrying luggage down the stairs a bit inconvenient. Additionally, there were no ice machines on the floors, and ice had to be requested from the front desk. Unfortunately, the ice machine was also out of order for one day. On a positive note, coffee was available in the mornings in the lobby, which was a nice touch. However, it would be great if tea bags and hot water were also offered for non-coffee drinkers. Despite these minor inconveniences, my experience was very positive, and I would stay here again."

"Very clean and the staff is very helpful"

"In general, it is a nice stay. The room is clean and the location is nice. However, we got waken up by the noise outside of our room in our second night. Some people were speaking loud and shot the door loud. I know it has nothing to do with the hotel, but it did impact our experience of stay."

"Had a wonderful stay at the James F. Martin Inn! Nestled on the shores of Lake Hartwell, this hotel offers both serenity and convenience. The location is perfect—peaceful, yet close to Clemson University and downtown attractions. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-appointed, with comfortable beds and the most beautiful views of the lake. The staff is friendly and pleasant. Whether you’re visiting for a Clemson game, a conference, or just a getaway, the James F. Martin Inn is a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to return!"

"Quaint hotel in charming part of town!"
