Rosemary House B&B

  • Inn Details

    Welcome to our 1912 Colonial Revival home, located in the historic and charming town of Pittsboro, south of Chapel Hill. Rosemary House B&B is named for the herb rosemary, traditionally held to be the herb of friendship and remembrance. You will enjoy rocking on our big front porches, shaded in the summer by gigantic sugar maples. The patio is perfect for watching the birds, sipping lemonade, and reading. Five romantic guest rooms, all with private tiled baths, some with whirlpools and fireplaces. Rate includes full breakfast and unlimited cookie jar.

    I stayed at the Rosemary House B & B. The staff were very friendly and professional. The room I stayed in "The Haven" was very clean and had a great Jacuzzi which I appreciated unwinding in after working all day. The room is extremely clean and has a gas fire along with an LCD TV. I felt very comfortable and would highly recommend anyone staying here. Great people and a great town to visit. Gordon Eisenberg

    My wife and I have stayed there countless times (depends on which guest room book you read as to when we were there last) and it's one of our very favorite places to stay. Can't say how "homey" we've felt there with Karen and Mac in the early years and with Debbie currently. Joe and Kathy Huddleston, Manteo, NC

    I have just enjoyed my fourth visit to Rosemary House. All the usual things one would expect were outstanding - the comfortable beds, the luxurious bath towels, and a generous breakfast served at your convenience. But what sets Rosemary House apart is the warm welcome and the feeling of history that I always experience as I enter this peaceful old home - a visit I might envision to a part of the Old South.


    Fabulous Gem of NC!
