Quiet Family Time

We were so blessed to find Robert's Rest for our family visit to town. This was our family's first time in North Carolina and the home gave us space, privacy and the quiet we needed. Very thankful for a kitchen to use for our family meals as well as the walkability to town. We would recommend Robert's Rest to anyone!

Edenton House

We enjoyed the location and the beauty of Edenton. But we felt we were invading the owner's privacy as all their goods, clothing and other items were still in closets, frig, and counters. The gas stove needs a good cleaning but otherwise, the house was clean.

Convenient, comfortable, and charming!

We recently stayed at Roberts rest and found the property to be very clean, stocked with everything one might need, and it was a very comfortable place to spend a few days with friends. We enjoyed walkable access to downtown Edenton and the waterfront. We had a few questions along the way, and our hosts were very responsive. I recommend this property to others traveling to Edenton.

Ok. Great layout.

When we arrived something smelled rotten right away. The refrigerator had ransom meat in it and the garbage disposal also smelled. Once we cleaned out the refrigerator and sink, all was well. You may want to check into your cleaning service. The house however was perfect for our sit down Thanksgiving meal. Thank you.

Unbelievable 19th Century Home

Located a few blocks from the center of Edenton town Dock. Walk to more historic sites per capita than anywhere I've been. Great accommodations in The South's Prettiest Snall Town.
