Their king- and queen- bedded rooms are spacious and light with comfortable beds and luxury linens. 5 rooms plus a cottage, $175-$280. Full gourmet breakfast, evening reception, Jacuzzis, fireplaces, free WiFi, gardens, free parking, private baths.

A large front porch (with a swing!) looks out on a quiet residential street. Carolina B&B takes food seriously. Breakfasts are innovative and delicious using seasonal, local produce whenever possible. The evening reception is praised by guests, with an array of hot and cold canapés, which change every evening. And when you return home to the inn at night, find a small sweet treat waiting in your room.
