I've not seen a B&B with such a personal touch. Carol took care of us from the time of making our reservation to one week after our stay in order to return items left in our room. The B&B is tucked away just outside of the nominal hustle and bustle of burgeoning college town. Carol has a hand in every... More

We were on the road and running out of steam coming in to Durham. A quick look on TA. Led us to called Carol who just happened to have a room available. Beautiful grounds. Nice and quiet. Breakfast a good balance. Just enough and good. One big table lends itself to interesting breakfast conversation.

My fiance and I are so grateful for our stay. The day started off really bad for it to be my birthday and tempting to stay at home. Carol called and we decided to go. Thank God we did! Carol's warm smile complimented the atmosphere of the inn as we arrived at 930p. Every detail was perfect for an authentic... More

We loved our room and Carol was very warm and friendly. Very convenient to the interstate, yet you feel away from it all.

My wife and I had a very nice time staying at Carol's Garden Inn. The first night, we arrived later than expected (around 9 PM) and Carol herself was waiting to greet us. The Inn is warm, welcoming, and feels very authentic and homey. We visited the week before Christmas, so the house (interior and exterior) was completely decked out... More

Rented Carol's Garden Inn for our wedding. The wedding party stayed at the inn Friday and Saturday night and held the wedding there on Saturday. We couldn't have had a more perfect weekend! We recommend Carol's for a large event like ours for just for a quick "getaway". Thank you Carol and Steve! It was a wonderful experience!!!!

When you arrive at Carols Garden Inn, you are greeted by Carol herself and escorted into a beautiful setting filled with homey touches everywhere. Family photos on the walls, quaint decor and the warmth of a hostess that makes you feel like family. The propert behind the house is immaculate, well manicured, and the perfect spot for a wedding, which... More

We had 6 family members traveling to the area for a family reunion. We searched hotels and B&B's for rates and convenience. We are very pleased to have booked and stayed at Carol's Garden Inn. As a group of six, we booked all 3 of the rooms. They were all well appointed, spacious and appropriate for the B&B experience. The... More

I have stayed at Carol's Garden Inn twice now, over a few years time, and have been delighted both times. It is pure hospitality, but also includes a delicious breakfast, a comfortable room, generous amenities such as snacks and drinks, and the most beautiful backyard you can imagine. This includes two small but lovely ponds, chairs for relaxing or meditating,... More
