Halfway through Restoration Week and already feeling the shift. 🧘

Here at the Blue Juniper Inn in Columbia, NC, we’re slowing down, breathing deeper, and doing the work that actually restores us — mind and body.

Earlier this month, John sat down with Susan, our local yoga instructor, to explore how movement and stillness can make us better leaders. We have one more day to soak it all in before we head home different than we arrived. 🌿

This is what it looks like when leaders take resilience seriously.

Meet the Scuppernong Room — where morning light and bright colors wake you up gently. ☀️

This second-floor corner queen overlooks the Inn’s lawn and garden, and the light that pours through the windows is reason enough to book this room. At 220 square feet, it’s cozy without feeling small, and the vibrant bedding paired with a premium pillowtop mattress puts you straight into vacation mode.

The ensuite bathroom features a walk-in ceramic tile shower with luxurious bath products. Add in waffle weave kimono robes, a mini fridge, microwave, and Roku Smart TV, and you’ve got a room that feels just right.

This is the kind of place where mornings move slowly — and that’s the point. 🌿

The best way to celebrate Earth Day? Get outside and pay attention. Columbia sits along the Scuppernong River and the Pocosin Lakes — landscapes shaped by water, wildlife, and time. Walk the trails. Paddle the river. Let the quiet sink in. This is what we’re here to protect.

April is National Poetry Month, and we kicked it off with our good friend, NC Poet Laureate Jaki Shelton Green, at our 2nd Annual Community Poetry Event at Inner Banks Mercantile.

The room was full. The words were beautiful. And our creative community showed up in the best way.

Thank you to everyone who shared, listened, and made it an unforgettable evening. 🌿📖

This ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review made our whole week. ☀️

“This Bed & Breakfast is more of a air B&B style stay... very discrete, very you centered ... I needed to be in the area to do business and I brought my mother with me the few days I stayed. There was 1 other guest in the entire house, during the time we stayed and I had no idea they were even there till I saw their door closed. Their amenities were top of the line and I will say I was EXTREMELY impressed. It is less than an hour drive to the OBX and it was a easy fast commute there and anywhere. It was impeccably clean and felt like I was home but also at a 5 star resort. I would ABSOLUTELY stay here ANY time I need to come back and because I have several business endeavors lined up in the next few months, I will absolutely be looking to stay here. I would also like to add that parking was free and easy on the street, the products they offer in the shower were great and the little extras they have in the home for a late night cap were so unexpected! If you want a comfortable clean cozy stay with breakfast and little extras for your stay in north eastern NC, check out this place. I promise it will NOOOOOOT disappoint!”

Spring has a way of sneaking up on you — and honestly, we’re here for it. 🌿

The inn is waking up: blooms in the garden, longer evenings on the porch, and that particular kind of quiet that only April brings.

Where did you spend the weekend?

A Moment From Thursday Evening

This is NC Poet Laureate Jaki Shelton Green reading from ""Beloved Scuppernong River"" — a poem she wrote to commemorate the opening of Blue Juniper Inn in 2024.

"Beloved Scuppernong River
Tossing, turning over truths
holding secrets behind damned falls
let there be dreams
growing and basking in your shade
strutting in all the colors"

When Jaki first shared this poem at our opening, she was honoring the river, the land, and the generations of people whose stories are woven into this place.

Thank you to everyone who came out to read, to listen, and to be part of something truly special. You continue to show us what community looks like at its best. 🌿

Special thanks to Inner Banks Mercantile for hosting us once again.
