Mardi Gras Suite sitting room
The spacious Mardi Gras Suite in the main house was made for romantics. The café awnings, brick floors and the Trompe l'oeil painted cracks and moss on the walls almost convince you that you are outside in a café in Paris. Sitting by the stone fireplace in the overstuffed couches offers a panoramic view of the lakes; the perfect place for snuggling or reading and enjoying the fire. In late afternoon sunlight filters through the old stained glass window bathing the Spanish tile bath and its corner tub in amber light. This very private luxurious suite is the perfect romantic getaway.

Mardi Gras Suite bedroom with color washed walls
The oversized Mardi Gras Suite bedroom overlooks the lakes and has two beds, a queen and a twin.

Caribbean Room with that island feeling
The Caribbean Room in the main house has a blue and white Mexican tile wet bar, stained glass door, ceiling fan and old pine floors. So named for the Caribbean Island chain, this Abaco Room is reminiscent of the owner’s years living aboard a sailboat in the Bahamas and has its own "island" flavor. A whimsical gecko "scoots" across the turquoise farmhouse bead-board ceiling above the reproduction French iron double bed. Terra tiles accent the tiled shower and bath floor.

Pack House Suite kitchen
The Pack House Suite in the Pack House barn was so named for the tobacco that was graded for market in these rooms. The entire suite has hardwood floors and both rooms have full views of the lakes. This showcase kitchen has marble countertops, tumbled Greek tiles, British cast iron enamel stove and antique chestnut dining table. Whitewashed queen bed and antique cottage furniture give the airy feel of continuous summer to the bedroom. The patter of rain on the old tin roof will lull you to sleep and you will awaken to the quiet of the Carolina countryside.

Pack House sitting area overlooks the lakes
The Pack House suite can accommodate four folks. It has a full kitchen and leather pull-out queen couch.

Pack House bedroom-like a seaside retreat
The bedroom in the Pack House has a tin roof, just the thing to entice you to sleep late. You can even lie in bed and see the lake.

Corn Crib in the Pack House has lake views
The Corn Crib is in the renovated Pack House and opens onto the brick breezeway. It is a mix of the sun-drenched colors of Mexico with its tile kitchen and bath and woven Peruvian calendar. Original pine wood floors and ceiling boards of old pine remain in this room that was once used to store corn. Lose yourself in the comfort of the overstuffed couch as you look our over the lake and settle in to the North Carolina quiet.
