Morehead Manor is located just off of Hwy. 147, a short walk from the American Tobacco Campus, DPAC, Durham Performing Arts Center, Brightleaf Square, and other Downtown Durham attractions. It was originally built for Liggett and Myers’s CEO, but the 8,000-square-foot home now features four guestrooms, each with their own private bath. Morehead Manor also features a garden and a carriage house.

I stayed at Morehead Manor recently to celebrate a milestone birthday with some friends. We stayed for 2 nights. Monica & Daniel were excellent & accommodating innkeepers. Their warmth & thoughtfulness was appreciated. Needs were met without ever having to ask: helping with bags, taking pictures of special moments so they weren't lost. The B & B gives such a home like vibe: Soft jazz playing downstairs, lots of natural light, a sun porch & a fountain near swings & firepit outside. The rooms are spacious & quiet with a throwback to days long past. The bed was so comfortable that I slept like a baby. I won't get an argument started with who's the best cook but trust that the breakfast & desserts are "chef's kiss" delicious. I can't wait to come back! Thanks for everything!

My wife and I had a great experience at the Manor. Monica and Daniel were great and sat and talked with us and another couple who were there for breakfast. It's close to town and one could walk there. The Tiger room was big and the bed comfortable.

Monica & Daniel offer kind, memorable, and meaningful hospitality in their Bed and Breakfast! They create a safe environment for guests to engage them and other guests during their stays there. The rooms are well appointed and the there’s plenty of beautiful outdoor spaces to enjoy. Morehead Manor is also enviably located within Durham, enabling timely travel within the entire Research Triangle area. There’s free parking on site, an added bonus!

Everything about our experience was amazing! Monica and Daniel were such great hosts and so helpful with local information. The house was so cool and filled with beautiful art and flare. We stayed in the Orchid Room and had a good nights rest. The breakfast we had was delicious and healthy. We had everything we could have asked for, made available for us. Being a cat person, I felt right at home with all of the cat images and photos. Thank you so much for a lovely time! We will definitely be back if we have any other overnights in Durham.

Monica and Daniel were perfect hosts. The inn was beautiful and comfortable. There were lots a places in the house to relax. The breakfasts were amazing. There are several outdoor areas with seating and fire pits. I enjoyed my stay so much! The inn is within walking distance or a 5-10 min drive to numerous restaurants, shopping and breweries.

This cozy bed and breakfast establishment places you right in the heart of downtown Durham, NC and provides a wonderful pied á terre to stay in. The hosts, Monica and Daniel, are charming and so welcoming and are a huge source of local knowledge. We'll definitely be back.

We usually gather with friends (some of whom we have known for over 50 years) at least once a year in a designated place. There are five couples. Due to illness or prior commitments, all five couples had not been together in five years. My husband and I, both Durham natives recently relocated back to Durham. At my suggestion, we decided the five couples would spend Memorial Day weekend at the Morehead Manor B&B. We had a BLAST! Since we were occupying the five bedrooms, we had full use of the house. We played games; we enjoyed sitting out on the side porch watching the Durham traffic, we enjoyed swinging in the swings in the well-manicured backyard, conversing in the sitting areas of the house. The on-site parking was adequate for our vehicles. Monica and Daniel were awesome hostess and host. They anticipated most of our needs. Those that were not anticipated, we needed only to request and they complied. It was a joy to observe the two of them working together. It was evident that they enjoy their work and their desire is to deliver their best to their guests as a team. They took time to make us feel welcome more like family than guests. They spent time conversing with us and took an interest in our activities. My only regret is that I didn’t have the opportunity to just soak in more of the uniqueness of the older house. The only thing better than spending time with great friends is spending time with great friends in a fabulous home. Thanks, Monica and Daniel for going the extra mile in not just hosting us but in your attention to detail in being B&B hosts!

You're going to LOVE this bed and breakfast. There's so much character and history in every inch of this home. Monica and Daniel were very intentional about the space they created. It's cozy, homey and offers several opportunities to relax and just be. You'll find a beautiful assortment of books in every single room. 😍😍
My personal favorites:
The porch - we were blessed with light rain while there and sitting on a porch, sipping tea while enjoying a rocking chair was absolute bliss.
Monica's homemade breakfast smelled delicious all the way upstairs. She was thoughtful and considered any dietary restrictions as well which just speaks to her heart and creativity in the kitchen.
You could spend your whole entire day, several days just at the house. Light music playing, several seating and resting spots, and at night it's so well lit outside.
If you have a choice, go with Eagles Inn - the shower is incredible!
Hospitality was a 10 out of 10. We had a packed itinerary but were able to chat with Monica and Daniel on a couple of occasions - beautiful couple.

I truly enjoyed my birthday staycation at Morehead Manor. It was EXACTLY what I needed. The food was amazing. I enjoyed meeting the host and talking with Monica. I highly recommend others to visit. I think I may make this a once a quarter visit.

We had a lovely anniversary experience with Morehead Manor. The rooms are beautiful, breakfast was delicious, and the atmosphere is fantastic. It was an awesome stay. This was our first bed and breakfast experience and they set the bar high! Exceeded our expectations and we will definitely return!
