The Trestle House Inn Bed and Breakfast is a Waterfront
Inn and was originally built in 1972 as a retreat for a wine-maker
and developer. The Inn is located on five acres and is surrounded
on three sides by water with a lake refuge above and behind the
viewing deck.
Upon entering the Inn you will be immediately surprised at
its size. Massive California Redwood beams that originally were
used as bridge trestles belonging to the Southern Railway Company
highlight the spacious interior. The timbers were cut from Redwoods
estimated to be over 460 years old.
From the viewing deck, located behind the Inn, guests can
view an incredible and diverse array of wildlife in their natural
habitat. Bald Eagles, Osprey, and other birds of prey and waterfowl
are very abundant. During the migration season, many guests have
been able to check off many birds on their Bird Life List.
The main road to the Inn, Soundside Road, is part of the
North Carolina Biking Highway and the pond behind the inn is part
of the Albemarle Canoe & Small Boat Trails System. Many guests
have paddled into the historic district from the inn. This water
trail has been used for the East Coast Flat-Water Championships,
the largest flat-water canoe & kayak race of North
Carolina.
Edenton was the original Colonial capital of North Carolina
and is known as the "South's Prettiest Little Town". To this day
the town retains the elegant charm of a bygone era including many
of the most beautiful older homes in the country including North
Carolina's oldest Courthouse.
