Room is spotless! Like any lodging, air conditioner is loud There is a dehumidifier, which is nice, but also loud. Cars parking, leaving, people traipsing up and down stairs = noisy. Light shines in small transom window over door = bright. Bring sleep mask.

This inn was OK. There was a fridge and microwave in the room and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The towels were plush. The walls are thin and we heard our neighbors late at night and early morning throughout the stay. The A/C unit is loud and one lamp had a burned out bulb. Overall just an average place. No ice on the premises.

We enjoyed our 2 night stay here. While a tad hard to locate once located it was a breeze to get to and from places on the island and around. The ambiance was nice in the main dining area and we REALLY enjoyed our breakfasts each day we were there. 3 other couples allowed us to talk about many and various topics around breakfast and the Inn Keeper joined us on morning #2. great memorabilia around coke cola products in the main room. TV was limited but she had a large collection of VHS and DVD's to browse through. Even with her small dogs there was no real noises or barking to concern us with.

Beware. Beware. Beware. I cannot say this enough. We stayed there on a group rate and didn't even make it through the night. Had a room curtain assembly fall on my wife causing injury to her. This unit which is in excess of around 35-40 lbs was attached to the ceiling using 6 in screws straight into the ceiling. No anchors, no studs. (See pictures) The night clerk was very dismissive and slightly combative on her choice of words when I stated "I have a issues with you guys" while referring to the room she replied with such gems as it's not like we did it on purpose, or I'm my 15 years of doing this we never had that happen well except at one of my other places, or well that's a surprise as we've been renting these rooms. Just disgusting. Did not offer a incident report. To their credit they did offer a different room however at that point we did not feel safe staying there any longer so we did check out and they provided a full refund. Just beware as you get what you pay for here

A historic boutique hotel located in quaint and beautiful Manteo, the heart of NC's Outer Banks. Just steps from downtown Manteo’s boardwalk, at The Roanoke you will find breathtaking water views and over an acre of serene gardens. Our large breezeway porch overlooking Shallowbag Bay is the perfect place for rocking away and enjoying the salt air. Those looking for something quieter may prefer to take in a good book while listening to the relaxing trickle of the koi pond or escaping to the shade in our Folly. All of this without ever having to step foot off the property. You may find yourself never wanting to leave the grounds, but venturing out could not be easier as bike trails will take you all the way to Fort Raleigh and some of Nags Head’s finest beaches are only a five minute drive. With courtesy towels, chairs, umbrellas, and a full library all you have to do is put on your favorite bathing suit and enjoy your OBX vacation. Always Book Direct for the Best Prices & Most Flexible Policies!
We just left 3 days at the Inn and loved it! Pam was so accommodating, the location was perfect to walk to shops and restaurants, and the view of the lighthouse was amazing!!!! The actual island itself was so quaint and charming too.

White Doe Inn was born out of a lifelong love of traveling and exploring the beautiful homes of people kind enough to host us. We bought a beautiful 19th-century home and spent two years renovating it before opening our doors in 1995. You’ll get the entire getaway experience here staying in one of our eight rooms and enjoying a four-course breakfast each morning. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just taking a trip with your special someone, there’s always something for you to enjoy here. There’s nothing we love more than hosting people from all around the world, and we hope to add you to that list soon enough.
The White Doe Inn is both beautiful and comfortable with outstanding service. Manteo is also a nice location close to the Outer Banks. White Does is highly reviewed so it sells out quickly. Suggest you book a room directly with them for the best rate and someone who can tell you about each room as well as the wonderful services they offer. Highly recommended.

A modern inn with a view over Roanoke Sound.
We went to the bar for a break prior to the Manteo Christmas tree lighting event. Wonderful drinks with unique appetizers. Very friendly staff and magnificent views of the bay.It is a beautiful facility and well worth the visit. Fully stocked bar with specialty cocktails. We have visited before and will gladly return again.

Cameron House Inn is in transition! The original inn has closed, but beginning in late spring 2021, four rooms will open up right next door – thus our new name, Cameron House Next Door. But until those rooms open, we still have one active room, The Sandpiper. This room has a dedicated porch below it with a wood-burning fireplace just for your use during cool weather, and it's a breezy perch perfect for relaxing or reading when it's warmer outside. The Sandpiper is right behind the old inn, so you're close to all the amenities that Manteo has to offer as well as to nearby attractions. Oh, and an extra plus: You're welcome to bring your pooch with you!
My wife and I stayed here over the 4th of July with our two small dogs. Having never been to the Outer Banks before, we didn't really know what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. First, I think the location of Cameron House is pretty close to ideal. You're within easy walking distance of the harbor in Manteo, with shops and restaurants and a lot of boardwalks around the water. I was quite impressed with the town. There might not be a ton to do on Roanoke Island, but that's exactly the point. You're on a quiet side street in a quiet town, but within easy driving distance of the entire Outer Banks. Every day we visited a different landmark or beach, and it was so nice to come back to a nice quiet home base. In the future, I would not trade Manteo for any location on the outer islands, which can be quite busy and crowded. A little less so this year given the pandemic, but there were still tons of people out there. Manteo is the ideal median. The Inn itself was also great, if you're looking for something quaint and quiet. Because we had the dogs, we stayed in the Sandpiper Room, upstairs in the annex building (attached to the owners' house, actually). That was pretty nice, because we weren't bordering any other rooms and our dogs wouldn't bother anyone. It was a bit weird to enter the stairway to our room through a screened porch shared with the owners' house, but we never actually saw them, just their dog. The main Inn house itself was pretty quiet, but well stocked. One of the best things about the Inn is that they keep a constant stash of drinks and snacks and desserts refreshed in the kitchen. Can't say how many times we grabbed water bottles or drinks there before heading out in the July heat. "Snacks" also included fresh baked cookies every day and some really awesome cakes and cupcakes, which were constantly being replaced. Wherever they got those cakes from would also be a very worthy stop for visitors. Breakfast at the Inn was basic, but sufficient, and Michael was helpful with tips for visitors on where to go and where to eat out. The back patio at the Inn house was really enjoyable, although the July heat made things pretty toasty during the day. Our dogs would wake me up early, so I spent a lot of quiet morning hours sitting on the back porch. If it were colder, there was a fireplace that would have been nice to sit by. The Inn's cat, Jack, is quite friendly and will probably hop up into your lap if you sit there long enough. I imagine the rooms in the main house might be a bit noisy if the Inn is full, but the Sandpiper Room is isolated and therefore extremely quiet. Also mitigating against any real socializing with other guests were the pandemic adjustments made by the Inn to keep everyone safe. We only really ever saw other guests at breakfast, for which you need to sign up for a time slot the night before. If/when we return to the Outer Banks, I would definitely look into staying here again. It would be particularly fun with a group of friends or family. And I can't recommend Manteo enough, unless you want to be right in the middle of the craziness on the outer islands.
