Just a fantastic time staying here. My wife & I came here for our 30th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful experience! Chris and Abbie were great. The food was delicious! Our room was so very comfortable. The house is a 100 year old Arts & Crafts style bungalow which was a joy for us as we love that style. I asked for the Romance package which my wife absolutely loved, so well worth it. Incredibly convenient to walk to all of downtown Manteo. A quick drive to Nags Head & the rest of the beaches. Basnight's is a great choice for dinner! I can't say enough good things, even Jack the cat was sweet and friendly! We'll be back!! read more

Spent two nights here in the Fall of 2012. Stayed in the Featherstone room on the second level. Cozy room with a gas fireplace and large full bath. The inn was beautifully decorated and conveniently located to downtown Manteo. This was our first B&B experience so I wasn't sure what to expect. The innkeepers were very friendly and welcoming. Our favorite feature of the house was the back porch with a fully stocked fireplace. My wife also loved the array of cats that live at the inn (outside cats). Breakfast was served at 8am and was delicious both days. Day 1 featured quiches, bacon, home fries, fruit, yogurt, and biscuits & gravy. Day 2 featured sausage links, fruit, hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, and grits. Coffee, hot tea, water, and sodas were available at no extra charge 24/7. Overall we loved our stay. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Manteo as you are literally 2-3 blocks from virtually everything downtown. My only negative is that the bed wasn't the best but by no means the worst. read more

The Cameron House Inn is probably our Favorite B&B of the six of so we've visited over years. The staff is thoughtful and accommodating, the breakfasts are sumptuous and the thoughtful amenities are top class. For example, homemade sweets are available each afternoon, cold drinks are always available the kitchen, and a fire is laid on the patio ready for you each evening in the fall. Please be sure to spend a few days in this wonderful read more

I specifically joined Yelp and chose to write a review about the Cameron House Inn because there was only the one previous bad review. My fiance and I just returned from a mini summer vacation in the Outer Banks and stayed 3 nights at the Cameron House Inn. The Inn was beautiful, welcoming, and very relaxing. We chose Cameron House because we wanted to be away from all of the crowds during the July 4th week in the Outer Banks. Breakfast each morning included biscuits and gravy, eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage, fresh fruit, cereal, and bagels. Coffee and tea were always available, as well as a mini fridge stocked with bottled water and soda. Cookies and cakes would also randomly appear either in the kitchen or the large living room each day for guests to enjoy whenever they wanted. We also stayed in the Mirabella Room (like the previous reviewer) and were very pleased with the choice. The room was spacious and comfortable and the perfect place to return to each evening after a full day of sightseeing and enjoying the beaches. The curtained canopy bed was romantic and comfortable, and there was even a separate TV room with 2 sofas. Although it rained the first day we were there, there were no leaks in our room, and the AC worked fine throughout our stay. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and they provided good suggestions for places to eat and things to see, as well as a great recommendation for which beach to visit to avoid the crowds. We loved our trip to the Outer Banks and will definitely be returning to the Cameron House Inn. If you're unsure about the Cameron House, I suggest checking out the numerous positive reviews for the Inn at Trip Advisor. read more

The Cameron House Inn is set in a beautiful historical house steps away from the quaint centre of Manteo. Beautifully and comfortably decorated, the sitting room is the best place to cozy up by the fireplace with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and coffee the Innkeeper Chris prepares daily. The rooms are well appointed, with comfortable mattress and soft linens. The place is all around very cleans and smells really nice. Plenty of outdoor space on the front and back porches. The Innkeeper regularly starts the fire in the outdoor fireplace in the backporch, where lovely and friendly kitty Jack can often be found waiting to be pet. Generous and tasty breakfast is provided everyday and the management endeavours to cater to all dietary requirements of their guests. Cannot recommend this Inn enough to people looking for a peaceful and comfortable accommodation to visit the Outer Banks read more

Awesome stay....cute location near downtown Manteo and convenient to Nags Head, general Outer Banks too. Very service-oriented and attentive customer service. Excellent breakfasts, spacious rooms, comfortable beds. Good food too. read more

My husband and I spent a weekend there in late December while attending friend's wedding. The overall impression was "OK - but nothing to write home about". I'll start with positives: - The common room is really cute. It has a comfy leather sofa and a fire place - The place is conveniently located on the main street of Manteo - The staff/owners are extremely friendly, and will generally try to help - The place is clean Now, the negatives: - The breakfast is really miserable. It's a self service breakfast, with cold old bagels, 1 spinach/mushroom quiche that they served both mornings, also, they had these cinnamon roles (purchased probably at Giant) that they also served both mornings - The heating in our room stopped working the second night we were there so we FROZE to death. As you can imagine it was extremely unpleasant - Our room was on the second floor (Mirabela) and since it was raining all day, as we returned to our room at night the roof started leaking. I actually had to place a bucket to catch the water. Needless to say, the owners did not even offer to lower the price, or compensate us in any way. They did apologize, but that really does not do us any good. We are definitely not going back to that place. If you are planning on staying there, dress warm and be prepared for lovely rain drop sounds that will keep you up all night. read more

Our stay at the Cameron House Inn was our first experience at a bed and breakfast and we were so thrilled to have such a wonderful time. Our reservation was for Valentine's Day weekend 2014 and we traveled 2 hours to get to our destination. I emailed the innkeeper ahead of time to make sure she was aware that we would arrive outside of the normal check-in times. She was almost immediate in her response and reminded us that we would have a complimentary bottle of champagne waiting for us on arrival - she even asked if we preferred a dry or sweet varietal. When we arrived, Jennifer greeted us promptly and gave us a tour of the home, even taking the time to describe its history and unique architectural features. Some of the best parts of our stay: * Our room was attended to each day - the bed was made, fresh towels and soaps provided, etc - everything you would expect in a traditional hotel. * Baked goods everywhere! And I mean, delicious. Cherry bars, Reese's cookies, you name it. There was something delicious to sample at all times. * A fully stocked mini fridge - waters, sodas, juices, etc. This came in handy as we would venture out for the day. * Hot breakfast! Prior to our stay, I had seen some reviews where guests complained about the lack of a hot breakfast. It seems that the innkeepers have responded to the feedback and really stepped up their game - we enjoyed a wide variety of food both days. * The ambiance - plain and simple. This place is so cozy and inviting I didn't want to leave. Although we spent quite a bit of time being tourists, we really enjoyed coming "home" and relaxing in front of the fireplace, reading, playing Scrabble, enjoying a glass of wine. I could go on and on but you get the gist. We loved this place so much, we will return again and again! Thank you to Jennifer and Bernadette for their hospitality. We'll see you again soon! read more

We seldom rate a property that is so good that we will return. This is one of those few places. This is primarily because of the presence of Chris, a dynamo always with a smile, good information, 7 am coffee cookies, cakes and breakfast and a lot more, I suspect, than we know. The inn itself is very homey, and comfortable. Do yourself a favor and stay here when you are in the area. read more

My boyfriend and I had an amazing and romantic experience at the Cameron House. I highly recommend staying in The Avocet room with the beautiful, large tub! We loved sitting on the porch drinking coffee in the porch swing and riding the bikes around the island! Jennifer makes a mean breakfast and makes you feel right at home! We can't wait to come back! Definitely the best place to stay on the island! read more

I booked a room here for July 2019 through Hotels.com. We then found out that we had a few more people coming and the room would be too small. Canceled the very next day through Hotels.com. I received confirmation that room was canceled and refund would be processed. Waited and no refund. Called Cameron House and was told this would be processed. Days later no response and no refund. Contacted them again saying still no refund. Told manager is contacting her "financial person" and owner because apparently they cannot figure out how to issue refund. It is now almost 3 weeks! On top of that manager sends me a very nasty email saying nothing will make me happy. Not true! I gave you over 2 weeks to issue refund and waited patiently. The only response I have had is a nasty email and I'm still out almost 300 for one night! I finally had to call my credit card company and they are handling this. Do not give this place your credit card!!! Unbelievable! read more

Great place to stay. We stayed one night. Excellent location a few blocks from the harbor. Plenty of on-street parking a few steps from the front door. The exterior is a little tired looking, but the interior is well-appointed. There is a large but cozy living room/dining room which is accessible 24/7, as is the adjacent kitchen. The guest room in which we stayed (the Creef room, named after the gentleman who built the house) was nicely decorated, very clean, and had a comfortable bed. The attached private bathroom was also spotless. There were homemade cookies in the living room when we got in, and shortly after our late afternoon arrival, a yummy home-baked double chocolate cake showed up in the kitchen. The breakfast was excellent. Staff was very friendly and clearly interested in making sure we had a great time. read more

My wife and I were married only two days ago, and have spent the first part of our honeymoon at the Cameron House. We could not be happier with our decision. The house is located in a very charming, historic neighborhood, near small shops and restaurants along the Manteo waterfront. We stayed in the Mirabella suite, which is particularly lovely, though that may also be easily said of the entire house. There is a large porch in the back and the front, and bicycles available for use. Cannot recommend more highly. read more

Lovely , relaxing and so hospitable .. can't say enough about this beautiful Inn . The perfect jumping off point to explore all the Outer Banks . I was only there for one night ( believe me I didn't want to leave) .. will definitely go back again !!! read more

The hosts were extremely accommodating, breakfast was delish, and the house is 2 short blocks from downtown. The other guests were also delightful. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay last week. The inn is immaculate. Chris, the General Manager and cook, is wonderful. She obviously loves what she is doing and could not have been nicer or more accommodating. The breakfasts were great, and there were always homemade cookies available, as well as cake in the evening. The AC was great, only mentioning it because it was extremely hot when we were there and older homes can be tricky to cool. Great location in the village of Manteo. We plan on going back soon! read more

My husband and I, along with four other couples that we know, spent Valentine's Weekend at the Cameron House Inn. It was our first experience with a bed & breakfast, and now I'm wondering why I waited so long! The Cameron House Inn is charming and welcoming. When we walked in the door on Friday afternoon, the smell of homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies greeted us. While our group spent time catching up with each other in the living room in front of the fireplace, Jennfier (our lovely hostess) was in the kitchen baking a red velvet cake for Valentine's Day! After attending the Stumpy Point Oyster Festival on Saturday, we returned to the Inn and sat on the back porch and enjoyed a roaring fire (it was a bitterly cold weekend). The refrigerator was stocked with bottled water and soft drinks, and coffee and hot chocolate were always available. We stayed in the Avocet room, and it was very cozy. I can't say enough about Jennifer, though. Her cooking and hospitality were tops! Can't wait to go back next year! read more
