I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Burrus House. We have stayed at several places in Manteo, and the Burrus House is, by far, the very best. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by an incredibly friendly and welcoming staff who truly make you feel at home. The rooms are absolutely beautiful. Having stayed in more than one room, and having seen the others, I can honestly say that each one has its own unique charm and character. Every room is impeccably clean, tastefully furnished, and thoughtfully equipped with just about everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The little extras make the experience even more special. Fresh cookies are available throughout the day, and in the late afternoon they offer a delightful wine and cheese reception. Each morning, a light breakfast is served with a wonderful variety of options to choose from. The Burrus House has become our favorite place to stay in North Carolina, and it will be our first choice every time we visit the Outer Banks. Thank you to the amazing staff for making every stay such a memorable and enjoyable experience. We can’t wait to return!

My bride and I had our anniversary and she suggested a trip on a whim. I chose the destination and she chose the place we stayed. I hate to say how awesome this place is because we don’t think we will ever stay anywhere else on the OBX, and I selfishly want a room to always be available to us. The staff are absolutely wonderful. We added nite to our stay and had to move from the big room; but it was seamless and the second room was equally charming. This lodging made our anniversary and celebration of our lives together absolutely top shelf. Make sure you hit Vicki B’s and Basnight’s for eats. Thank you so much Vicki and DonnaMay for a fantastic experience! PS as a person with Crohn’s I got quite the kick out of the bathroom amenities. ?

We had a wonderful experience. Our room was large and comfortable. There was a beautiful view of the water and we loved sitting out on the deck. The staff were very pleasant and provided us with information on local dining and attractions. Great place to celebrate our anniversary.

Our stay at the Burrus House Inn was absolutely exceptional. We stayed in the Mary Carolyn suite in the Main Inn, and it was even more beautiful in person than in the photos. The design has that perfect modern, upscale coastal feel that’s difficult to get right, but Burrus House absolutely nailed it. The suite was elegant, relaxing, and incredibly comfortable. — One of our favorite features was the two decks—especially the private side deck overlooking Roanoke Sound. We spent time there every day watching both the sunrise and sunset, and the views were spectacular. It was peaceful, scenic, and truly unforgettable. — What made our visit even more special was Donnamae, the interim innkeeper. She was amazing—friendly, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely passionate about creating a memorable experience for guests. She arranged a bottle of sparkling grape juice and fresh flowers for a special occasion and surprised us by placing them in the room while we were out, which was such a thoughtful touch. — Her recommendations were also outstanding. We loved every restaurant she suggested, including Olives and Blue Water Grill for lunch, and Salt & Cypress and 1587 for dinner. She even recommended a beautiful local beach that was scenic, quiet, and uncrowded—exactly what we were looking for. — It’s rare to find a place where both the property and the hospitality exceed expectations, but Burrus House Inn did exactly that. We left with incredible memories and can’t wait to return.

The room was immaculate with a great layout. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was excellent and very attentive with great recommendations for activities and dining. The views of the Roanoke Sound were beautiful. Loved the bike rides to downtown Manteo. Thank you Burrus House for a perfect getaway! Would highly recommend!

We had the most lovely time at the Burris Inn. A nice quick getaway during the weekday before the season rush. The views were simply amazing. Our room was beyond cozy and the amenities write down to the offering of happy hour and continental breakfast just made our visit that much more epic. Thank you to Vicki and Donna (let’s not forget deer Clementine) for your care and making the person in such a beautiful place to stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Burrus House Inn. The inn is so beautiful, comfortable, and so well cared for—you can really feel the thought and pride that goes into the place. We also love Vicky! She is incredibly welcoming, genuine and truly makes the experience feel special and personal. The breakfast in the Peacock room was delicious! The wine and charcuterie put out in there in the late afternoon is such a nice touch and also delicious. Highly recommend to anyone staying in Manteo or just looking for a lovely getaway! A hidden gem!

The most romantic inn on the water! This is our favorite place to stay for our anniversary on OBX. It's exceptionally cozy in January, with fireplaces in every room. The enclosed porch is the perfect place to watch the water in the winter. The rooms are always pristine, like you're the first person to stay there. Already looking forward to our next stay!

We had a wonderful trip to Manteo. The highlight was staying at Burrus House Inn. Our suite was extremely clean, beautifully decorated and very spacious. The incredible views of the Roanoke Sound were breathtaking. This quiet perfectly maintained Inn was lovely. The coffee and delicious pastries for breakfast were also a highlight. We would definitely stay here again. It is a wonderful place!
