“Back again!”

Reviewed 25 September 2012

Fall just around the corner in NC. Had a wonderful time at the Gear Head Inn with Mary and Jim, the innkeepers! The renovations continue and the Inn is comfortable and clean! Boys against the girls in a game of "corn hole". Girls WIN!! Wonderful cool evenings to sit around the fire. Looking forward to our next visit.

We stayed here for a guys weekend motorcycle adventure. The roomers were spotless. The hospitality was fantastic. There's even a fire pit in front of the pool where the owners roast marshmallows at night. No joke. Real deal Americana the way it should be. While automotive themed this is a clean place you can take you wife too. Shell be... More
