We had the absolute best time!! Everything was beautiful and very clean! We stayed the weekend to celebrate our anniversary! It was just a short walk to the downtown area for eating, shopping, and exploring!. We had wonderful weather!! We took the town trolley tour, as well as, walked around to visit the historical sites! We had a delicious dinner at The Herringbone. Everyone was very friendly and nice. We ended our stay watching a gorgeous sunset over the water from the front porch! So quiet and peaceful! Just what we needed! Thanks so much for sharing your carriage house! We will definitely stay again!

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!

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.

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.
