Operating from 1845-1865, the Bingham School served as a preparatory school for young men seeking entrance to the University of North Carolina at nearby Chapel Hill. Although the school itself is no longer standing, the headmaster's home, listed in the National Historic Registry, has received an award for it's meticulous restoration. Your hosts, the Deprez family, invite you to step back in time. Furnished in period antiques, the Inn at Bingham School is nestled among pecan trees in the rolling farmland of central North Carolina. A combination of Greek and Federal styles, and 1790 Log Cabin the Inn offers five spacious guestrooms with modern private baths. Relax on one of our porches after roaming the surrounding acres of woodland. Join in a game of croquet or find peace gently swinging in one of our hammocks. Or spend your time indoors curling up with a good book, playing games in the parlor or watching a movie from our video collection. Whatever the choice, welcome the evening over complimentary wine and cheese with your hosts. Experience more than just a room; surround yourself in the craftsmanship of a past era. With a unique blend of old and new comforts you can select rooms with different features. In every room you will be indulged with thick robes, luxurious soaps and homemade cookies. Wake up to an elaborate breakfast served in dining room or on the patio. Our menus are designed to make the most of seasonal specialties: pear-almond waffles, blueberry pancakes and corn fritters are just a few of the offerings. Fresh fruit, warm breads, gourmet coffee and teas always accompany our all homemade breakfasts. Eleven miles west of Chapel Hill, the Inn offers southern hospitality at it's finest.

June 12, 2013
My husband and I have stayed at The Inn at Bingham School on several occasions and each time we have had a wonderful time. The rooms are lovely and clean, and the innkeepers are welcoming and gracious. We will definitely stay here again and recommend it enthusiastically.

Beautiful location in an old school house with beautiful gardens, excellent breakfast, and a congenial host (and host dog). No wine and cheese in sight from 5-7, but discovered after the fact that you had to request it--so be forewarned!
3.4 out of 5Feels rustic and isolated

Quiet area, little contact with host couple.
5 out of 5Balances Historic Accuracy to Modern Comfort with Perfection
April 04, 2013
The period detail in the Inn is fabulous, and Francois & Christina did it all in a way that enhanced our comfort. Francois himself made some of the beautiful furniture: other pieces are antiques. Both of our rooms came with natural gas fireplaces and whirlpool tubs. I found a comfortable pique bathrobe hanging in my closet and a writing table for my laptop. They had even provided a glass water carafe and chocolate chip cookies. Breakfast (two courses!) was superb.

3.2 out of 5Spacious room
January 23, 2013
Very spacious room. Enjoyed gas log fireplace. Met all my expectations on other items. We didn't need much. Owner was friendly. The scenery is excellent - farms and silos - pure countryside.
3.8 out of 5Excellent Stay at The Inn at Bingham School. I'll be back!
January 17, 2013
I reserved the 1801 Room at The Inn at Bingham School for a Saturday night getaway with my sweetie. Francois greeted us and recommended that we check out The Eddy, a local pub for sunset drinks and dinner (it was delicious!). Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, and we loved the fireplace and bathtub. We enjoyed exploring the gorgeous grounds, lounging in the hammock, and petting the friendly cat and dog, and we loved our breakfast of homemade pumpkin bread and German apple puff pancake. We had a great time and would love to visit again.
3.2 out of 5Very cozy place...Alot of history here...
January 16, 2013
Very charming old place. Alot of old wood and brick. Very nice room with warm bedding and fireplace. Wished we had more time to enjoy the nice property.
