Tucked away in historic, beautiful downtown Elizabeth City, our North Carolina bed and breakfast, the Culpepper Inn, is just one-hour drive from Norfolk International Airport, Virginia Beach, VA oceanfront, and the Outer Banks resort areas of eastern North Carolina. This three-story brick Georgian Revival style manor was built by William and Alice Culpepper in 1935 and is situated in the center of the historic district of Elizabeth City, NC. The Inn is only six blocks from the center of town and the harbor front on the Pasquotank River.
Voted "Best Bed and Breakfast in Elizabeth City" 2008, 2009
The Inn features eleven guest rooms - four in the Main House, one suite in the Carriage House, and six in the Camellia Guest House. All of our guest rooms feature a private bath. The Inn is surrounded by lush grounds with beautiful old live oak and magnolia trees, and the property is accented by over 20 different camellia trees and bushes. The Tavern Room, in-ground pool and the rockers on the porch, as well as the fairy garden with a water feature invite our guests to linger and relax during their stay. This atmosphere can be a welcome change from typical hotel accommodations.
 Guests staying with us are welcomed to the Inn with selections of wine and cheese, tea served in the late afternoon, beautifully decorated rooms, amenities galore, and a gourmet breakfast each morning. The Culpepper Inn accepts all major credit cards including American Express as well as selected gift certificates. The Inn is smoke free and pet free and has an ADA compliant room for those with special needs. Check-in is from 3 pm to 6 pm with check-out the next day at 11 am.
The Culpepper Inn is available to host weddings, meetings, and events both inside the Inn with room for up to 75 and outside on the grounds with room for up to 150. We offer customizable packages for your special occasions and holiday celebrations. From family reunions to retreats, the Inn is a wonderful place to be together as a group. We also offer long-term rentals in the Camellia Guest House and Carriage House.

Notes from the Innkeeper
Summer has arrived – or at least the warm weather is here. We are seeing more of our friends and neighbors out in their yards working or strolling by the Inn for their evening walk. It is wonderful to live in a community that is so friendly and has pride in their neighborhood. We are going into our eighth month as innkeepers and we are still learning about this wonderful home and its history. I had the privilege of speaking to Jane Culpepper – one of the family members who lived in this home for many years. She was able to share her memories of the home and helped to fill in many of the blanks on the history of the home. I learned about the original home owners – William and Alice Culpepper and how they loved this home and tried to make it a showcase for the community. Alice Culpepper loved to garden and she spent many days outside working in her flower gardens – just as I do. Our living quarters are where the children played and the fish pond was a place to sit and read on a hot afternoon, just as it is now. We enjoy sharing this wonderful home with our guests and hope you come for a visit soon.
We are currently offering a Full House Special.
Need a place for a special getaway with friends or family? Planning a family reunion? Want a place to stay where you all are together. You can rent all eleven guests rooms for a two night weekend stay and get a 20% discount on the cost of your rooms. Included is a gourmet breakfast each morning and cheese and snacks in the late afternoon. We can also serve dinner for the entire group each evening if you request it ahead of time. The Tavern Room makes a great place for the entire group to be together playing games, watching TV or movies or just socializing. You can also hang out around the pool or relax in the hammock. A great vacation for the entire group.
