Circa 1841. Unwind and relax at this historic downtown location of five elegant buildings only two blocks from the river in Cape Fear country. The de Rosset House is a luxuriously restored antebellum mansion with aged heart of pine floors. The Dram Tree House, originally a vegetable dye factory, has a rustic Southern ambiance with a Charleston-style courtyard and fish pond. The Maritime Building, once a convent, boasts a nautical theme reflecting this seaport city. The Clarenden, named after a local Earl, is perfect for groups or reunions as some of the suites can interconnect through a conservatory. The Cinema House, a tribute to the area’s active movie industry, offers specially designed suites showcasing themes of a classical movie or star. Most of these romantic lodgings feature private entrances and balconies with rockers overlooking gardens.
