Our spectacular facility is nestled on a private bay alongside the historic Cape Fear River. The bay has been deemed a primary nursery habitat for various species of shore birds, fish, crabs and other animals.   If you have been looking a site that offers the perfect blend of nature and elegance; your search is over!

The property offers: 

• A 480 foot pier with wrought-iron benches along the length of it.
• A crystal-clear swimming pool surrounded by lush gardens including cool tropical Palmetto palms and tea roses.
• The top floor boasts three luxuriously appointed suites with private bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen with granite counter tops and a beautifully decorated family room with a large fireplace. This room also has a large balcony which overlooks the bay. It is the perfect place to enjoy an after-dinner beverage while watching the pelicans dive into the water; which is less than 40 yards away.
• Downstairs is our beautiful reception hall which has a fireplace, bar, and tables & chairs to accommodate fifty-six people; however, there is room enough to seat one hundred people. It is perfect for a wedding reception, family reunion, birthday party, corporate meeting or any other gathering that would enjoy the views of the river right outside the window!
• Catering kitchen; perfect for the caterer of your choice to have room to spread out and serve your guests in comfort and style!
