Getting there, and where to sleep

Harnaby Mill, Johns Island, South Carolina, SC 29455. Twenty-five minutes from downtown Charleston by car, and further than it looks on foot.

By plane

Charleston International (CHS) is the airport, about forty minutes away. Rideshares are thin on the island on Saturdays, so book a car: Harn Cars on (843) 555-0118, or Blackwell's on (843) 555-0137. Forty minutes, roughly sixty dollars.

Rideshares dry up before the band finishes. If you are relying on one, plan to leave at half past eleven — or stay, which is better.

By car

Take Maybank Highway onto the island, turn at the Harnaby sign and follow the lane past the pond. Parking is in the field beyond the mill and it is free; if it has rained hard, park on the gravel by the barn instead. Cars can be left overnight and picked up before eleven on Sunday.

Where to stay

The Harnaby Inn: Six rooms above the tavern, a four-minute walk from the yard. Held under "Quayle/Renshaw" until April 1. (843) 555-0145.
Fern House: A bed and breakfast on Bohicket Road, three rooms, family-run and used to wedding guests arriving late. (843) 555-0189.
The Bell, Charleston: Thirty-one rooms downtown, the easiest option if you are flying in and flying out. (843) 555-0170.
The cabins: Four in the top field, bookable through the mill. Fans, no air conditioning, and worth it anyway.

Getting home

We have asked both car services to hold cars from midnight. Put one of the numbers above in your phone now — the signal on the island is one bar on a good day, and the mill's wifi is called harnaby-guest.

Anything else, call Nell Quayle on (843) 555-0164.
