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

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
  
Winter is a great time to get projects done around the Inn.  Business is a little slow so we are always looking for ways to improve the rooms and try out new recipes. It is also a great time to curl up in front of the fireplace in the living room with a great book and a mug of hot coffee or hot chocolate. We are also starting to plan what to do in the gardens as soon a the weather turns warm.  There are so many options and ways to go, that it is hard to choose.  It is fun to try and make a plan that will have blooming flowers from spring to fall.

February is also the month for love.  We are offering a great romantic package for Valentine's Day.  A one night stay with Forever Roses, a bottle of wine and a box of truffles from the Chocolate House and of course, breakfast the next morning for $110.00.  You can choose from the larger rooms in the main house or  a room in the Camellia Guest House with a fireplace. A great one night get-away for the two of you.
