Plenty of good stopping points along the trail makes it a worthy day-long activity with places like the Greenville Zoo, Reedy River Falls, and Swamp Rabbit Cafe. Swamp Rabbit Trail is your main point of a trip to Greenville, then the best place to stay would be Swamp Rabbit Inn.

I look for the cheapest available room, usually a queen bed. I typically look at book rates two months in advance and in the middle of the month to get average rates. Reminder: It is an ESTIMATE
