The carriage house was absolutely beautiful and exactly as described. Very quiet and peaceful town and getting to know the locals was definitely a highlight. Our host Judy definitely lived up to all her accolades, she is a gem for sure. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to rest and relax. Many great memories made!

A Wonderful Weekend Getaway

The Carriage House provided a wonderful place to stay while visiting Edenton. The location of the property was perfect as it provided great water views and it was a very short walk to the shops and restaurants. The interior was lovely, and the grounds were stunning. The property was quiet and very clean and the owners were delightful. All of this contributed to a great weekend getaway! We will be back!

First (but not last!) Edenton visit

We had an amazing time exploring Edenton from this wonderful home base on Water Street. We thoroughly enjoyed the carriage house, bikes, fabulous location, and evenings on the front porch. We did so much— but we ran out of time before we saw it all. We cannot believe we have never been to Edenton before. We will be back!

A beautiful, comfortable historic property

We had a wonderful “getaway” long weekend here. The carriage house is perfect for a couple. The bed was super comfortable for me ( my husband thought it was a bit firm for his liking, but he prefers a soft mattress). The amenities were perfect. I wanted to try to smuggle the bedroom armchair home, it was so beautiful, but I think Hunter might notice, lol! The location was perfect, right across the street from Edenton Bay. If you get the chance, take Captain Mark’s boat ride for more historical information and great views.

We biked around the historic district and sat on the front porch of the main house with our host Judy and her friends one evening. Great location across from Queen Anne Park and an easy bike ride to downtown. Clean, comfortable space for quiet getaway.

Classy Accommodations

The Carriage House is in a wonderful location; quiet, beautiful and easy walking distance to Broad Street. The rooms were lovely! Every amenity was available, plus the ambience was very comfortable, with a touch of luxury. The property manager and staff were readily accessible, but allowed my daughter and me to enjoy the garden area as if it were our own. I'd readily return for another stay.

Special Place!

We have been to Edenton several times since discovering it in 2021, having stayed at The Carriage House every time. The porch views of the Albemarle Sound are breathtaking! You will enjoy shopping on Main Street ( 5 min walk), the friendly folks and close restaurants. If you are a history buff there is much to see and learn about in this charming town.
