I'll ask that you limit your response to one, although I'm sure there are many. I'll also ask that you provide a link (or photos).
I'd love to catalog your recommendations, so much thanks in advance! I'll begin:
GEORGIA:
In the SE corner of the state is the beautiful and unspoiled Cumberland Island National Seashore. Accessible only by boat and light plane, there is only one hotel on the island, the Greyfield Inn. Originally a winter retreat for members of the Carnegie family, the inn is now run by descendants of the same family. It retains its turn of the century charm while offering modern conveniences. The food is superb; the recipes are regional and the ingredients mostly homegrown. But the real appeal is in its surroundings: Eighteen miles of secluded beaches coupled with primeval maritime forest and and an amazing variety of wildlife. It's an unforgettable experience.
Cumberland Island is the only place in this country that I have seen armadillos. Those will probably creep out a lot of people.
The nine banded species in Georgia can carry leprosy.
Ever the romantic.
I didn't know about the leprosy thing, CV; jeez.
We get the occasional armadillo invasion here on SSI. My daughters enjoyed chasing them when they were girls. Glad they never caught one.
What about SC getaways? My personal favorite is Mansfield Plantation in Georgetown, a quintessentially Low Country town. It totally fits the bill for what I'm looking for.

The stench from the papermill near downtown Georgetown doesn't bother you?
I would probably recommend one of the cabins at Devils Fork State Park on Lake Jocassee or Oconee State Park, or the restored Historic French Huguenot Guillebeau House at Hickory Knob State Park.

Oh man, anywhere you need to walk off with a roll of toilet to the bushes isn’t very romantic. I’ve done plenty of hiking in camping, and I can appreciate your point of view.
