Banquet Cook

Company Description

A destination retreat on the banks of the Kiawah River surrounded by miles of golden spartina grass, giant oak trees, and shallow marsh flats. Cool breezes blow through cottage-inspired guest rooms and river-view cabanas overlooking vast expanses of marshland. Large furnished porches offer a peaceful oasis to hear the whistles of Carolina wren as you page through a good book and enjoy the simple pleasures of island life. The main lodge is the heart of the resort where you can rock in wicker chairs on the wraparound wooden porch or enjoy cocktails from a riverside pool cabana as the sun sets over the marsh savannahs. Evoking the spirit of old-time summer retreats, The Dunlin’s 72 cottage-style guest rooms overlook the glittering Kiawah River. Designed by Amanda Lindroth, inside you’ll find honey oak floors, white beadboard walls, and mint green and wicker accents that nod to classic southern style, while deep soaking tubs, built-in closets, and linen fabrics stamped with signature prints add an atmosphere of home.

Just 20 miles from Charleston, The Dunlin is only a 45-minute drive from Charleston International Airport.
