Family Retreat for vacations, weddings, family reunions and corporate retreats.
Overview
Family Retreat is a cabin-style getaway in Florence, United States, positioned as a venue for vacations, weddings, family reunions, and corporate retreats. The setting is part of Blackwater Farms, a nature-focused property spread across 115 acres. Guests come for space, privacy, and a rural retreat atmosphere rather than a traditional hotel experience.
Cabins & Layout
The property includes multiple buildings designed for groups: a Lodge with three bedrooms, a separate bunk cabin that sleeps four, and a gathering cabin with two bedrooms. This multi-cabin setup can work well for extended families or retreat groups that want shared space plus some separation. Specific bedding configurations beyond the bunk cabin capacity are not documented.
Amenities & Recreation
Key in-unit/onsite conveniences include air conditioning, a kitchen, an ironing board, and smoke-free accommodations. For outdoor meals, there is an outdoor grill. Recreation centers on the farm setting, including fishing in a 14-acre pond and enjoying the surrounding acreage.
Location & Nearby Highlights
In Florence, the retreat provides access to local attractions such as Lynches River State Park and Old Greenwood Athletic Park for outdoor time. For activities and events, nearby points of interest include Dr. Eddie Floyd Tennis Center, Eastern Carolina Agricultural Fairgrounds, and Florence Civic Center. Dining out requires a drive, with restaurants in the wider area such as El Dos Agaves Mexican Grill, Wholly Smokin’, and Oasis 843 Elite Restaurant Bar and Lounge.
Airport Access
The closest airport is Florence Regional Airport, about 11.4 km away. Myrtle Beach International Airport is much farther, about 81.7 km away. Plan ground transportation accordingly, as the property functions like a rural retreat rather than an airport-adjacent hotel.
Best for
This retreat is best suited to groups—family reunions, wedding parties, and corporate retreats—who want multiple cabins and shared gathering space on a large 115-acre property. Travelers who value nature time and simple outdoor recreation (including fishing in the 14-acre pond) will appreciate the setting. It also fits guests who prefer self-catering, thanks to the on-site kitchen and outdoor grill.
Travel tips
Arrange a car in advance: the retreat is a cabin property and nearby dining options are several kilometers away. If flying in, Florence Regional Airport is the nearest option (about 11.4 km), while Myrtle Beach International Airport is roughly 81.7 km away. If you’re visiting during Darlington NASCAR Race Week, book early since the farm is promoted as a stay option for that period.
