We are just one week away from kicking off our fall yoga series with Niki! This one-hour, all-levels flow is designed to help you ground down, stretch out, and enjoy the crisp early-autumn air in a peaceful garden setting.

Join us Thursday, Sept. 10 from 5:45 - 6:45 PM in the backyard of The Ell Hotel. Space is limited and tickets are required in advance. Ticket sales will close 24 hours prior to class start.

Around here spaces are always evolving. One piece at a time, a change in location of a couch, switch of a rug, eventually it all comes together.

The Yellow Room has its own private sitting room with a Smart TV, fridge and coffee maker. Walking back down memory lane it's hard to believe it started as a dressing room just five years ago.

After closing in May, Ell and her family got straight to work. The first room they tackled was this one! Repairing water damage, filling holes and cracks through the walls, topped off with a fresh coat of paint.

It's amazing what paint can do to a room!

Version one feels so incomplete looking back against where we are now, but you work with what you have and continue to improve over time...at least that's how we do things here!

This couch has been rehomed to our Pink Room sun porch (a much better fit!) and the rug found its home in our Airbnb Lone Ranger Retreat.

The only thing missing now is a beautiful piece of art to display above the sofa!

What else would you want to see added to this room!?

Sami wanted you to know she’s personally devastated... 💔

We just had a cancellation for Labor Day weekend in our Yellow Room, and someone’s favorite suite is currently sitting empty! As the "Dog Days of Summer" come to an end, Sami thinks you deserve a long weekend getaway to Washington, NC.

The Yellow Room Highlights:
Spacious King Bed
Private Living Room with Smart TV & Netflix (perfect for post-exploring movie nights)
En-Suite Bathroom
Pet-Friendly!

Did you know your reservation includes complimentary use of our beautiful bikes!?

It's hard to believe it's been three years since we designed these bikes with OnBikeShare and we still love them just as much as the day they arrived.

through the convenience of your cell phone, you can unlock a bike any time of the day with your reservation password! exploring by bike is one of the best ways to see the town.
