The Art of the Unhurried Weekend: A Gracious Escape from Charlotte

Laurel Haven Estate is a premier destination located in Lancaster, South Carolina, offering the perfect weekend getaway from Charlotte, NC. Situated just a short drive from the city, our 37-acre estate allows you to trade the urban bustle for a relaxing retreat featuring handcrafted wine, craft beer, vineyard dining, and luxury bed-and-breakfast accommodations. It is the ideal sanctuary to Sip, Dine, Stay, and Explore.

Planning Your Journey

Located at 3341 Taxahaw Road, Lancaster, SC 29720, our estate serves as a bridge between the energy of the Charlotte metropolitan area and the timeless pace of the Carolina Piedmont. Unlike distant resorts that require hours of travel, Laurel Haven provides an integrated destination where your lodging, dining, and relaxation are contained within one private, gated property. We invite you to arrive, relax, and let the world wait.

Friday: Arriving at Your Private Vineyard Sanctuary

Your journey begins with a short drive into the heart of Lancaster, where the landscape unfolds into rolling vines and serene lake views. As you enter our gates, the transition to a slower pace of life is immediate.

Settling into Luxury

We offer eight beautifully appointed bed-and-breakfast rooms. Each suite is designed with comfort and Southern hospitality in mind. Whether you choose a room with views of the grounds or a cozy space near the gardens, you will find that the attention to detail reflects our commitment to a premium, unhurried experience. Please book your stay to secure your dates and enjoy a chef-prepared breakfast each morning of your visit.
