Clarksdale: The Shack Up Inn

You won’t find a more authentic Delta stay than in these sparsely furnished sharecropper shacks in Clarksdale. Think bottle trees in the yards, Baptist church fans on the walls, Mardi Gras beads wrapped around old jugs, and six-packs left in the fridge.

001 Commissary Circle, Clarksdale; (662) 624-8329. Room rates start at $60. Visit shackupinn.com for availability and reservations.
