January is the perfect time to rethink how you travel. Instead of rushing through a short stay, The Carolina Experience invites you to slow down, settle in, and make yourself at home – whether that means extending your stay for weeks at a time or gathering your favorite people under one welcoming roof.
With charming boutique properties in Elkin and Edenton, North Carolina, The Carolina Experience makes it easy to experience these small towns like a local, not just a visitor.
Stay Longer & Save More
Extended stays offer a rare opportunity to truly immerse yourself in a destination. Imagine starting your mornings with unhurried coffee, exploring local shops and historic streets in the afternoon, and enjoying quiet evenings that feel comfortably routine – in the best way possible.
To make longer stays even more appealing, The Carolina Experience offers generous savings for guests who choose to stay awhile. Weekly stays of six nights or more receive 35% off, while monthly stays of 29 nights or longer receive 50% off across select properties.
These extended stays are ideal for remote workers looking for a change of scenery, couples planning a relaxed winter or spring escape, or families seeking a flexible home base for school breaks. With thoughtfully designed accommodations and walkable downtown locations, Elkin and Edenton provide the perfect balance of comfort, character, and convenience.
Guests are welcome to browse available stays online or connect directly with the Guest Services team for help selecting the best property for their extended escape.
Bring the Whole Group
For those planning a shared experience, The Carolina Experience specializes in hosting group getaways at intimate, boutique properties designed for connection and celebration. From wedding weekends to corporate retreats, these properties offer the space, privacy, and flexibility that groups value most.
Group stays are especially popular for bridal parties, bachelor and bachelorette trips, business retreats, and multi-generational gatherings. Whether your plans include vineyard visits in Elkin or historic explorations and waterfront walks in Edenton, staying together enhances the experience and makes every moment feel more meaningful.
Several properties are particularly well suited for groups:
Three Trails, Elkin accommodates up to 64 guests, featuring 14 private suites and 19 bedrooms – an excellent option for larger celebrations, reunions, or retreats.
In Edenton, Granville Queen Inn and Captain’s Quarters Inn sit side by side and together accommodate up to 18 guests across 16 private rooms. This setup offers a charming, close-knit atmosphere that’s perfect for smaller groups who want both togetherness and privacy.
When you reserve an entire property, your group enjoys a true event-style stay with the comforts of a boutique inn – flexible gathering spaces, private accommodations, and the freedom to create your own itinerary.
