 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.

Notes from the Innkeeper
We are well into the hot days of summer here and it is very humid. Gary keeps reminding me that we are near the water and should expect the humidity. While I do understand, it makes doing yard work not much fun plus it doesn’t keep the weeds from growing. So I will spend my days weeding then jumping into the pool to cool off.
The heat does not seem to bother the fish in the pond. We now have 4 Koi and 2 Comet fish. We have also seen several babies but we are not sure they will make it. They will need to get a lot bigger to survive the winter.
The Art Center in town has also had a very busy summer – new art shows and wonderful theater almost every week-end. If you are planning a stay over Saturday night, you can check out what is happening at www.artsofthealbemarle.com. Our Elizabeth City Area Convention and Visitors Bureau also has a great website of local events – www.DiscoverElizabethCity.com. While we may be a small town, we do have a lot to see and do so check us out.
Even in the heat and humidity, we still are a great place for a week-end get away.
Please come for a visit and stay awhile!
Elizabeth City makes the 100 BEST SMALL TOWNS again!
