| Big Mill Bed
& Breakfast sits amid acres of farmland and forest in
the quiet coastal plain of North Carolina, 100 miles east
of Raliegh and 100 miles south of Norfolk in an area where
streams and rivers meander through cypress swamps and
fertile farmland. Guests can explore over 200 acres of
woods, landscaped gardens, old barns or simply drop a line
in one of the two large lakes just outside the B&B.
Seventy-eight year old pecan trees , planted by Chloe's
parents, still shade the B&B in summer and in winter
they proffer luscious pecans used in making the breads
served to the guests.

Big
Mill Bed & Breakfast |
Each room has a private entrance, individual climate control,
private bath and its own wetbar of Portuguese, Spanish or
Mexican hand-decorated tiles. The artist's touch is evident
everywhere you look : in hand stenciled floors, walls faux
painted to create a look of crumbling plaster and stained glass
doors which shed an amber glow from the afternoon sun. In winter
you can sit by a fire on the large stone fireplace in the suite
and see Canada geese as they land on the lake. On a balmy summer
day you can stroll amid the trees or under the grapevine in the
orchard and smell the Cape Jasmine and watch the purple martins
swooping through the air.
The owner once
sailed and cooked aboard a private yacht , and the rooms are
reminiscent of these Caribbean experiences. If you want to
experience more of the Carolina feeling , just ask how to find
the local flavors, whether collards and corned backbone, herring
roe and hushpuppies or banana fritters.
Big Mill is a
quiet getaway and a great stop enroute to the Outer Banks.
Whether for business or for pleasure, this is elegant country
living at its best. Prices range from $55.00 to $70.00 per
night.
