North Carolina is a very historical state from being the first in flight to being major tobacco and cotton growers as well as having strategic battle locations used during the Civil War. When you visit North Carolina the Southern charm will envelop you as well as the people who are always amazing to tourists and full of the well known "Southern Hospitality."

The best places to truly get a feel of North Carolina, its history and inhabitants is by staying at a bed and breakfast. Hotels are informal and simply offer a place to sleep. However, a Bed and Breakfast in North Carolina is like walking into someone's home where the room has been cleaned and prepared especially for you, a homemade meal cooked from old time recipes that makes you remember that eating is also a form of enjoyment, and innkeepers that are truly interested in making you feel at home. While there are thousands of Bed and Breakfast's in North Carolina from historic coastal Wilmington to the extraordinary mountains of Asheville, you will always feel at home and welcomed with tidbits of the inns history, fresh baked goods, and innkeepers interested in making you part of the family for a day or two or allowing you your privacy if you so wish.

Some of the most famous areas in North Carolina other than Wilmington and Asheville, include the capital of Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Winston Salem, Fayetteville, Durham, Charlotte, as well as many others. All of these cities have award winning Bed and Breakfasts so no matter if you are traveling for business or pleasure you will want to stay at a North Carolina bed and breakfast as opposed to a generic hotel.

The problem when you visit North Carolina is choosing which bed and breakfast to stay at when considering a trip to a particular city. However, this is not a problem because you can go online and visit the various bed and breakfasts available and then book your reservation at the one that best flatters your budget and personality. Give North Carolina bed and breakfasts a chance the next time you travel to the Tarheel state and you will never choose to stay at a regular hotel again.
