  • Inn Details

    Don't let the formalness of this 1910 Colonial Revival Style Mansion fool you. Just step through our front doors into our gracious foyer and you'll find yourself surrounded by warm colors and gracious hosts. We offer four spacious guestrooms with private baths. Guests will also enjoy lounging in any one of our common areas. Catch up on your reading in Jacobs Library or view a movie from the video collection in Preston's Parlor.

    My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Morehead Manor. Ms Greta was delightful. Felt as thou we were long lost family/old friends more than guests. Can't wait for next visit....

    The Staff was extremely Friendly and very approachable. I called a week before we were to arrive and asked if there was a massage therapist nearby, within a matter of minutes they had someone set up to come to our room and give us massages! It was wonderful not to have to worry about any details. There were also many times that we had to ask for direction to local restaurants and they were there with all of the answers. I will definitely be going back!

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at Morehead Manor while on business travel. An inn that has dessert available at anytime for their guests certainly impressed me. It also indicates this inn’s high level of commitment to their guests’ comfort. This beautiful and historical inn maintains a cozy feel while providing all the modern amenities to attend to the guests’ needs. The lavish rooms complete with splendid touches of fresh flowers and silken sheets are just a few of the many reasons to stay. The breakfast is fabulous and worth the stay on it’s own. If you are looking to relax this charming inn has a unique collection of art, books (fabulous cookbook selection too), and media that you can enjoy fireside. Alternatively it’s central location allows for quick access to the many exciting things to do in the Durham/RTP area. Whatever sights, shopping, or dining you want to take in the hosts are informative and quick to assist you. The solid service, beautiful accommodations, and the air of attentiveness and pampering distinguish Morehead Manor as an inn of choice.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Morehead Manor. We learned so much about the history of the area and the people from the Innkeepers, and it is conveniently located to Duke and downtown Durham!

    A real find in downtown Durham!

    We enjoyed a lovely one-night stay at Morehead Manor while celebrating our anniversary. Room was quiet and comfortable, breakfast was delicious, and Monica could not have been a more pleasant and gracious hostess. The inn is beautifully decorated with Daniel and Monica's art collection, and the inn is within walking distance to some of Durham's major attractions. Will definitely recommend Morehead Manor to anyone I know visiting Durham!
