If you’re the kind of traveler who prefers wagging tails to white-glove hotels, welcome to your happy place. Here at Inner Banks Inn, we believe travel is better with paws on the porch and furry friends by your side.
Nestled in the heart of Edenton — named one of the 20 most beautiful small towns in America by Travel + Leisure — our historic inn is a dog-lover’s dream. With six thoughtfully appointed, pet-friendly rooms and suites — including cozy private decks and fenced-in backyards — we make sure your four-legged companions feel just as welcome as you do.
Outdoor breakfasts in our beautiful courtyard are a guest favorite, and yes, your well-behaved pup is invited too. When the weather is fine, the Table at Inner Banks opens its patio gates for locals and guests alike, offering our signature Ocean • River • Farm to Fork Cuisine — inspired by the seasons, sourced from nearby waters and farms, and served with a side of Southern hospitality. Our chefs even prepare handmade, healthy treats just for your pets — and tails tend to wag in approval.
You’ll find a town that embraces your fur babies just as warmly as we do. From water bowls placed outside downtown shops to friendly storekeepers offering treats and smiles, Edenton’s charm is as heartfelt as it is historic. Stroll the shaded streets, explore our spacious grounds, or take in the sights on a dog-friendly boat excursion along the Albemarle Sound.
And always in our hearts is Bella — the beloved Inn mascot from 2014 to 2023. Her gentle spirit still lingers in the breeze and under the old oak trees, reminding us that every great stay includes tail wags, treats, and a warm welcome home.
