    The only place to stay in Raleigh

    April 29, 2013

    The title of my review says it all! We were in town for a wedding and absolutely loved the Cameron Park Inn B & B. The owners thought of every detail from a Keurig coffee maker, snacks, comfortable room, beautiful decor, and a scrumptious full course breakfast. The entire home was meticulously clean. We will most definitely return when we are in the area. Tom and Pamela Breneman

    We shall return...

    February 27, 2013

    We visited the Cameron Park Inn B&B this past weekend and were blown away at the outstanding attention to detail put into every inch of our stay. From the beautiful Lily Suite with all of it's charm and personalization to the delicious breakfast and pleasant company, our stay at this B&B was most certainly the highlight of our time spent in Raleigh. We loved being able to walk to Cameron Village for a nice meal and some much needed libations and return to the safety of your beautiful inn without having to fuss over cabs or fret about safety. We shall most certainly return to visit again.

    Our Visit to Cameron Park Inn

    January 22, 2013

    My wife and I recently spent two nights at Cameron Park Inn. I selected the Inn because of its location in Raleigh as a place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I had many fond memories of the Cameron Park neighborhood having grown up in Raleigh. The Inn exceeded our expectations and was the best of the three inns in prior stays in the city. We selected the Rose Suite in this home that was built in the early 1900’s.The suite offers a sitting room and bathroom (with heated floor). The bedroom is large with a sofa, rocker and dresser. To cap off the amenities there is a private hot tub. We were able to look in the other rooms before guests arrived. Each was decorated for the period and looked very welcoming. Highlights of the stay included two outstanding breakfasts with a choice of seating times. We enjoyed dinning and conversation both days with other guests of the Inn and the Inn owners. Other amenities that we enjoyed were the soap, shampoo and conditioner in the two person shower, cold drinks in the refrigerator and snacks in the suite. Two extensive notebooks described the house, the neighborhood and local restaurants. We will stay at this Inn on our future trips to Raleigh and recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing and pampered stay. Bob & Karen Asheville, NC

    A one-night business oasis

    January 20, 2013

    I flew to Raleigh-Durham on business, and needed just one night of lodging. I've had my fill of airport hotels, so I typically seek out other, unique places to stay. The Cameron Park Inn not only provided a lovely oasis after cross-country flights, but the staff went out of their way to answer my questions regarding nearby restaurants, early check-out & continental breakfast, etc. A great location, off-street parking, and wonderful accommodations made this a very worthwhile stay. I highly recommend this B&B!

    Wonderful Place

    January 02, 2013

    My wife and I just spent our 6th anniversary in the Rose Suite, and we had an absolute blast. We ordered the date night package, and it was worth every penny. From the beauty of the room to the fantastic food of both dinner at 2nd Empire and breakfast at Cameron Park Inn, we were more than pleased. In addition, Nikki's kindness, hospitality, attention to details, and provision of nice surprises all helped make our stay easy, fun, relaxing, and memorable. We would love to stay there again sometime. HIGHLY recommended. My only complaint was that the Jacuzzi was really a hot tub in another building. This was still great, but it wasn't quite as convenient as we had desired.

    Truly impeccable!

    July 02, 2012

    We stayed in the Lily suite recently, and loved the comfort, charm, and attention to detail. Super comfortable bed and quality linens. The second floor guest lounge has so many thoughtful touches from fruit, snacks, soft drinks to gourmet coffee, although we also had a Keurig, min-fridge, and snacks in our room. The breakfast was divine. Don't hesitate to stay at this hospitable, clean, friendly, beautifully appointed inn.
