General Information

The 116-year-old Admiral Benbow Inn is a charming Victorian Inn surrounded by oak and maple trees, featuring a Victorian swing and hammock under the pine trees and by the bubbling stream and koi pond. The Inn was completely restored retaining the original wooden panels, frames, arches, and magnificent staircase. The first thing guests notice upon entering the Inn is the beautiful hardwood floors, and tiled fireplace in the sitting room. The sitting room is furnished with comformtable couches for relaxing. The dining room where a continental-plus breakfast is served, is furnished with an antique buffet and china cabinet. All the bedrooms are individually decorated with brass beds except for the master bedroom in which has a canopy bed, along with antique armoires, dressers and tables. The pictures and charts on the walls are a tour in themselves!
