Inn Details
The house was purchased in 1991, and has been in a constant state of renovation since the day we walked through the front door. We have tried to bring this wonderful old house back to its original beauty, with the addition of modern conveniences for our guest's comfort. The house has been here since the early 1900's, and has stood through many storms, hurricanes, a fire, an explosion, and a 2 unit apartment house. The original house did not have baths, was heated by coal stoves, and the kitchen was not attached to the main house. The original kitchen interior was destroyed by a fire along with the porches that once wrapped around the kitchen, the fire damage extended into the dining room and living room areas of the house. The remainder of the house has all the original wood flooring and walls, and most of the glass is the old wavy glass that is so hard to come by today. All the wood to construct the house was milled on the property, along with the forged nails. The original property consisted of twenty-six acres, which was subdivided over the years. The orginal owner of the house was a US Coastguardsman who was stationed on Hatteras Island, and commuted to his duty station from Mill Landing just a short distance down what is now Rt. 345. The original owners family still own the property on the north and west sides of our property, and their daughter is still living, and spends some of her summers on the beach with her family.

This is a great place to stay if you are visiting the outerbanks. It is one of the more inexpensive B&B places to stay but does not lack in quality. It is only about 10 minutes from the beach but a way from all the hustle and bustle of the main strip.
Wonderful!!!!

Wonderful Hostess, Wonderful Room, Wonderful Breakfast!! We could not ask for a better place to stay. The hostess was wonderful and treated us like family. She even worried about us getting home safely because of hurricane Irene. We will stay there again!

A one night stay was too short..we will come back again. Convient to all the activities..and a quiet retreat at the end of a busy day. Breakfast was great and our hostess was helpful with information of places to see and eat.
Wonderful hostess, great food!

I was surprised by my husband with an overnight at the Outer Banks. Jeanne is a wonderful hostess who has a beautiful B+B that she and her husband lovingly restored. It cost about half of what other B+B in the area cost. We were provided with a wonderful homemade breakfast. We would definitely stay there in the future.
