My wife and I had an excellent experience staying at the Arrowhead. Phil and Gloria were wonderful, and the Duke suite was so beautiful my wife cried happy tears when I opened the door. It's a little pricey, but if you're looking for a day or two of pampered, cozy, elegance, this is a wonderful choice.

Arrowhead Inn was wonderful in many aspects. We loved the history of the plantation and the old house with all the modern amenities. Gloria & Phil were very pleasant and helpful, and Phil is quite a master in the kitchen...probably the best breakfast we have ever had in a B&B...and we have had some pretty good ones! The room was very comfortable and private with a cozy bed and a very relaxing spa tub big enough for two. We will definitely be visiting again, and would recommend a stay here to anyone looking for a getaway.

We stayed in the garden suite on our wedding night 5 years ago and returned to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. Entire staff was very accommodating and friendly both then and now. Phil and Gloria are very helpful without being invasive. We couldn't get over how clean everything was! Perfect for a weekend getaway or a special occasion.

Innkeepers Phil and Gloria put a lot of TLC into this beautifully restored home and their guests. Their attention to detail in the guest room (mine was complete with a steam shower and a soaking tub) amazed me and I slept better between the European sheets than I have in months. What a delight to be awakened with the aroma of Phil's homemade scones. Great inn! I definitely recommend it!

I have stayed in many B&Bs, and this one is definitely the best one I've visited. Each room is beautiful, and the food is wonderful. The innkeepers obviously enjoy what they do, and their clients' comfort is their primary goal. The attention to detail is incredible. For example, they iron the sheets! I think they have spoiled me because any other B&B I visit will now have to live up to the Arrowhead standard!

My husband and I stayed there for two nights, for a mini-honeymoon. We wished to be totally left alone, and we were! The breakfasts were very good, the presentation was as beautiful as the taste (maybe a little sweet, and with more cheese than I was used to). There were always little snacks and coffee/tea around, and our room had a great big bathtub that was wonderful. The house is beautiful and very old, and the hosts were very nice. I was concerned about the location by the busy road, but I couldn't hear any traffic noise at all. The grounds are designed to make you feel like you are out in the countryside. One star off for the price (won't be able to afford a return for our anniversary), and the fact that I felt pressured to stay two nights instead of one, because I wanted more time in my room just watching movies and taking a bath (with checkout time at 11am, and coming straight form my reception late the night before, I would have had no relaxing time with a one-night stay).

We spent our wedding night in the log cabin. It was very cozy. We really enjoyed our stay. We loved the double steam shower and building a fire. The bed was so comfortable. We felt very pampered. The breakfast was very good also. We wished we could have stayed longer than just one night. I do highly recommend the log cabin at Arrowhead Inn.

My husband and I have stayed here 2x over the past year and will never miss an opportunity to stay here on future trips to Durham. The home and the rooms are fabulous. The hosts are wonderful. But the breakfast is the reason we keep coming back:) The price for the room, service, and food is well worth it. We have stayed in many inns in the US and Ireland and this is by far the finest.

We recently took a driving tour across North Carolina, staying at a different bed and breakfast inn each night. Arrowhead Inn in Durham stands out as the best by far. Elegant rooms and a warm welcoming host, plus a sumptuous breakfast made us feel pampered. We will certainly plan other trips where we can spend an entire week there next time.

I've been going through spine surgeries, practically living in doctors' offices and hospitals, and I needed and wanted a break. I didn't want to leave my 11 year old son, so I knew such a "break" was not possible. I wished, out loud, for a place to spend the night before my next surgical injection. My 11 year old son, Ash, having watched my demise over the past couple months, told me that I had to take a break. I thought Ash meant it in the usual way children say Take a break, as in have some coffee or read a good book. The next morning, to my utter surprise, a woman named Gloria introduced herself as the proprietor of the Arrowhead Inn. She explained that the credit card numbers given to reserve my room that evening did not seem right. Ash had indeed booked a room for me, making up a credit card number in order to reserve the room! That evening, I drove to what was a beautiful plantation-like Inn. The Arrowhead is pristine in its cleanliness and loving in its approach to every guest. Gloria offered tea, freshly made scones; she showed me a video/DVD library. My room was elegant in its antique decor, curtains billowing in and out with the breeze, the scent of flowers filling the room. Beyond the room were the grounds, artfully arranged and lovingly cared for. Gloria's husband, Phil, a gifted carpenter, builds This is a heavenly place!

A hidden treasure in our own back yard. The time & money we saved on gas and travel time allowed us to enjoy more of the get away. The steam sauna in the room was wonderful. The food is exquisite. The inn keepers Phil & Gloria have truly thought of every detail to make this B&B a memorable experience. We highly recommend the 30 minute drive from Raleigh to Durham over many other B&B's we've stayed at across the country.

My husband and I only stayed one night at the Arrowhead B&B. We tried to book a longer stay but it was already full. We arrived and then had a lovely snack in the dining area. As if by que a beautiful fawn grazed in the outer yard, it couldn't have been more beautiful and serene if planned. The hospitality was wonderful and food incredible. A definite A+.

Our stay at the Arrowhead was fantastic. The innkeeper met us at the room despite our arrival being at 1:00AM. The food and service were impeccable. We stayed at the Carolina Log Cabin; the room was great. They even accomodated my children ages 4 and 6. I had some unfortunate news during my stay and the innkeepers were very sympathetic. I would rate this as the best B & B in the triangle area

Great surprise for my wife...Restfully enjoyed our stay. And my wife especially loved it. We stayed in the Log Cabin and the privacy, accomodations, hospitality, & food was beyond expectations. And Phillip, the gormet cheif, carpenter, and host was so inspiring with his passion to touch people's hearts and souls with his hospitality--and it worked. I highly recommend but you might want more than one night to enjoy it!
