How will you spend your days at the inn?
Will you linger in the Sun Room, relax on the front veranda, or visit with friends over afternoon tea? Should you venture into the countryside for hiking, riding, or take a leisurely stroll on the tree lined campus of UNC at Chapel Hill? Take to the links at the Fazio designed Finley Golf Course – home to the UNC Golf Team. How about attending a special event at nationally acclaimed A Southern Season to learn more about wine, cooking, or just browse in their 60,000 sq ft landmark gourmet food and wine shoppe? Whatever you do, you'll always wish you had one more day.
