Two North Carolina Bed & Breakfasts Earn Title of Best in the U.S.
Bed and breakfasts come in all shapes and sizes, each offering something special. From cozy cottages to modern getaways, every B&B has its own unique vibe. With so many options, there’s a perfect bed and breakfast for everyone’s taste.
USA Today’s 10Best has compiled a collection of the best bed and breakfasts across the United States. They had a group of experts put forward the nominees. Then their editors narrowed it down to the final ones. From there, readers got to have their say and vote on the ultimate winners.
The list features a range of bed and breakfasts from diverse places like Chicago, Illinois; Chestertown, Maryland; and West Bend, Wisconsin. Notably, two North Carolina bed and breakfasts secured positions on the top ten list. Leading the pack is the C.W. Worth House Bed & Breakfast in Wilmington, a Queen Anne-style inn with a cozy feel, offering just seven rooms. Guests are treated to a farm-to-table breakfast each morning, and the inn’s convenient location allows easy access to downtown and the Wilmington Riverwalk.
Further down the list is the Historic Magnolia House in Greensboro. According to the B&B’s website, renowned musicians, including Tina Turner, James Brown, and Ray Charles have lodged at this establishment. Its four guest rooms also have décor reminiscent of these famous past guests. On weekends they feature a brunch service from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and their dinner menu pays homage to the ’50s and ’60s. Interestingly, the Historic Magnolia House holds significance as one of the few remaining operational sites in the state that was once part of the Green Book network. The Green Book, originally known as The Negro Motorist Green Book and later as The Negro Travelers’ Green Book, was a travel guide for African Americans published from 1936 to 1966.
