The Aerie Bed & Breakfast

Aerie's Garden

The Parlor
The common area parlor is appointed with fine antiques and historic reproductions including an antique red velvet Empire sofa, Empire petticoat marble-topped table and a Federal three-paneled mirror above a period walnut player piano. The Italian ceramic chandelier is the crowning centerpiece of this grand room.

The Dining Room
Each morning, guests awake to a gourmet breakfast in an elegant, candlelit, dining room where the Innkeepers offer a daily choice of three hot entrees made with seasonal local ingredients. Table linens, Franciscan china and antique silver are set to make your dining experience extra special.

The Kennebec Room
The Kennebec Room was one of the three original upstairs bedrooms in the home. It is named after the current innkeepers' first bed and breakfast in Long Beach, California, which housed the stunningly carved four-post king, laced canopy bed now in this room. The antique Empire walnut chest was an heirloom piece from the Ward family and beautifully complements the bed. The handsome, bright and airy three-sided bay window beckons you to sit, relax, and enjoy your step back into the elegance, charm and romance of the late nineteenth century.

The Hidden Room
The Hidden Room offers secluded quarters with a private entrance just off the upstairs deck. The Williamsburg blue and ivory toile drapery reflects the Inn's colonial heritage while the romantically swagged four-post canopy bed and rattan furniture allow guests the opportunity to be part of a tranquil bed and breakfast experience with a little extra intimacy.

The Basin Street Room
When Samuel Street built his home c. 1882, this cozy room was the upstairs bath, kept comfortable by the fireplace, decoratively in place today. The name refers to the room's original purpose (Basin) and owner (Street) and also to New Orleans' famed promenade where the current innkeepers enjoyed their honeymoon. Stylish artwork depicting the French Quarter lends sophisticated charm to this quaint room with a pencil-post queen bed.

The Magnolia Suite
The Magnolia Room with its tree outside the window pays tribute to the beautiful white blossoms that embody North Carolina's southern traditions of grace and sophistication. The room is one of the original upstairs bedrooms of the home and the second story of the front porch, which was enclosed years ago, now houses the romantic whirlpool bathroom to truly treat yourself. An ornate, four-post, canopy queen bed, antique Victorian settee, two grand area chairs and mirrored artwork by the innkeeper Marty, make Magnolia uniquely special.
