The Inn at Houndslake
The Inn at Houndslake is an established tradition of family and location – founded almost 40 years ago by prominent developer Robert Penland. The Inn is still owned by the founding family today.
Siblings Peggy and Rob Penland have helped preserve a piece of the family legacy. Peggy owns the Inn at Houndslake, while her brother's responsibilities include managing the front desk and daily operations. As a result, it is not unusual to be met and welcomed by these traditional boutique Inn owners.
Peggy extends to you a personal invitation to share the heritage of the Inn as part of the Houndslake Community with the genuine Southern Hospitality for which the Aiken is known.
The Inn has the unique distinction of being nestled between the fairways of Houndslake Country Club. As a result, the view from each room is picturesque, which compliments the beauty of the tranquil location, without the distraction of busy parking lots or main roads.
The Inn is considered a relaxed and comfortable destination by new and returning visitors. The décor is traditional with the simplicity and feeling of a home away from home. You will never experience that corporate feeling. With just 30 rooms, each guest can enjoy the Inn's privacy or social aspects at breakfast. The Inn's patio opens onto the golf course and endless walking paths, swimming pool, tennis, and pickleball courts.
Seasonality is ever-present, with guests appreciating the gentle changes in weather that make Aiken a sought-after regional destination for golf and equestrian events. The Inn coordinates with local businesses and events to offer seasonal getaways and tourist activities that make your visit seamless while presenting new and entertaining lifestyle choices for the more adventurous.

We stayed here for our 25th Anniversary. This is a hidden gem on the golf course. The owner is so nice! The rooms are very nice and the bed and pillows are super soft. Breakfast is included also.

Houndslake Country Club
Houndslake Country Club was built in the early 1970's and centers around a 27-hole Championship golf course designed by Joe Lee, who planned the likes of Doral, La Costa, Cog Hill and Disney World. The three nines provide pleasure to the average golfer and a memorable challenge to the champion. Each nine measures a little over 3,300 yards and they each play to a par of 36. Houndslake Country Club was designed to offer versatility for both the weekend golfer and the professional. The Dogwood and Laurel nines have played host to the 1977 and 1981 SCGA Amateur Championship, the 1982 and 1984 SCGA Four Ball Championship, the 2001 and 2002 South Carolina PGA Pro Junior, several US Amateur Qualifiers, The Women's Transnational Amateur and is the home of the Women's Eastern Golf Association Senior Championship.
The mild, agreeable climate of Aiken allows year-round outdoor recreation.
