Morehead Manor is located just off of Hwy. 147, a short walk from the American Tobacco Campus, DPAC, Durham Performing Arts Center, Brightleaf Square, and other Downtown Durham attractions. It was originally built for Liggett and Myers’s CEO, but the 8,000-square-foot home now features four guestrooms, each with their own private bath. Morehead Manor also features a garden and a carriage house.

At the risk of my favorite accomodations getting so popular I run the risk not having a room available, I will recommend you explore this jewel!! I can park my car at the Morehead Manor and walk to incredible food, baseball and concerts. Enjoy a delicious breakfast and intelligent conversation with the owners the following morning. Tell me what is not to love. The house is unique, beautiful and looking for fabulous each time I stay. Thank you Monica and Daniel. I wish you much deserved success!!

I was speaking in Durham and it was suggested that I stay at Morehead Manor. I am quite impressed with the ambiance, the professionalism portrayed by the innkeepers, and the food. I really had a taste for grits. Monica made it happen. I was truly grateful. When I left, just as relaxed as I am when I return from Paris. I think I have found my Paris...in Durham, North Carolina. Thank you for being!

This is the best bed and breakfast I have ever stayed in. The owners are fantastic people who made my friends and I feel completely at home. It is a wonderful home, with beautiful clean spotless cozy rooms and incredible food. I did not want to leave. Monica and Daniel are the most wonderful hosts. The garden areas are beautiful, there is ample parking as well. I recommend Morehead Manor one thousand percent. Classy, clean, safe, quiet, run by the most awesome couple.

I took my husband for his birthday, and it was absolutely fabulous! I booked the Magnolia Suite, couples massages, and the celebration package, which were perfect for a last minute surprise. The home is beautifully decorated with stunning art and designs. There is plenty of space to relax, whether socializing or enjoying a quiet moment alone. Monica is a wonderful hostess; she was warm, accommodating, and incredibly resourceful. The location was convenient and it allowed us to explore both Durham and Raleigh. The outdoor spaces are just as lovely; however, I didn’t get to enjoy the swings or sitting areas because of the chilly weather. My husband and I were beyond pleased with our weekend trip, and I can’t wait to return for Jazz Night on the lawn. Thank you, Monica and Daniel—see you next time!

Daniel and Monica are exceptional innkeeper's. It’s where we stay when in Durham. Morehead Manor is historical and well appointed. Room was spacious, comfortable bed and sheets, and original tiled bath. The highlights - breakfast with insightful and lovely conversation with Daniel, Monica!

My wife and I stayed at Morehead Manor overnight to celebrate our 40th anniversary. What a welcoming place to lodge! Monica greeted us warmly and gave us the complete tour. The house was wonderfully appointed and tastefully decorated (by Daniel, we were told). Our room was spacious, with all the little extras you would hope for. They had amenities that we didn't even know we needed - who ever thought of putting a night light in the toilet bowl? Brilliant! Our omelets on Sunday morning were delicious, surpassed only by the engaging conversations with both Daniel and Monica. This place is a gem! How we didn't know about it before now, I don't know. But when we're looking for a get away or our overnight travels take us to Durham, it will be Morehead Manor for us!

I stayed at Morehead Manor recently to celebrate a milestone birthday with some friends. We stayed for 2 nights. Monica & Daniel were excellent & accommodating innkeepers. Their warmth & thoughtfulness was appreciated. Needs were met without ever having to ask: helping with bags, taking pictures of special moments so they weren't lost. The B & B gives such a home like vibe: Soft jazz playing downstairs, lots of natural light, a sun porch & a fountain near swings & firepit outside. The rooms are spacious & quiet with a throwback to days long past. The bed was so comfortable that I slept like a baby. I won't get an argument started with who's the best cook but trust that the breakfast & desserts are "chef's kiss" delicious. I can't wait to come back! Thanks for everything!

My wife and I had a great experience at the Manor. Monica and Daniel were great and sat and talked with us and another couple who were there for breakfast. It's close to town and one could walk there. The Tiger room was big and the bed comfortable.

I was so pleased to find the advertising for Morehead Manor I had seen online was accurate. One could not hope for better hosts and accommodations. I stayed in the Jasmine Room and it was like being in heaven. The bed was super comfortable and the room appointments set a pleasant and relaxed tone for my stay. Absolutely loved the vintage TV sitting atop the chest of drawers. The bathroom was like returning to the homes of my youth; the space is nicely tiled and huge. Breakfast was a real treat. I especially enjoyed the hosts sitting in the dining room with the guests as we enjoyed a gourmet meal together. Overall, Morehead Manor is a must-stay when visiting Durham. I will be back.

Monica & Daniel offer kind, memorable, and meaningful hospitality in their Bed and Breakfast! They create a safe environment for guests to engage them and other guests during their stays there. The rooms are well appointed and the there’s plenty of beautiful outdoor spaces to enjoy. Morehead Manor is also enviably located within Durham, enabling timely travel within the entire Research Triangle area. There’s free parking on site, an added bonus!

Everything about our experience was amazing! Monica and Daniel were such great hosts and so helpful with local information. The house was so cool and filled with beautiful art and flare. We stayed in the Orchid Room and had a good nights rest. The breakfast we had was delicious and healthy. We had everything we could have asked for, made available for us. Being a cat person, I felt right at home with all of the cat images and photos. Thank you so much for a lovely time! We will definitely be back if we have any other overnights in Durham.

Monica and Daniel were perfect hosts. The inn was beautiful and comfortable. There were lots a places in the house to relax. The breakfasts were amazing. There are several outdoor areas with seating and fire pits. I enjoyed my stay so much! The inn is within walking distance or a 5-10 min drive to numerous restaurants, shopping and breweries.

This cozy bed and breakfast establishment places you right in the heart of downtown Durham, NC and provides a wonderful pied á terre to stay in. The hosts, Monica and Daniel, are charming and so welcoming and are a huge source of local knowledge. We'll definitely be back.

We usually gather with friends (some of whom we have known for over 50 years) at least once a year in a designated place. There are five couples. Due to illness or prior commitments, all five couples had not been together in five years. My husband and I, both Durham natives recently relocated back to Durham. At my suggestion, we decided the five couples would spend Memorial Day weekend at the Morehead Manor B&B. We had a BLAST! Since we were occupying the five bedrooms, we had full use of the house. We played games; we enjoyed sitting out on the side porch watching the Durham traffic, we enjoyed swinging in the swings in the well-manicured backyard, conversing in the sitting areas of the house. The on-site parking was adequate for our vehicles. Monica and Daniel were awesome hostess and host. They anticipated most of our needs. Those that were not anticipated, we needed only to request and they complied. It was a joy to observe the two of them working together. It was evident that they enjoy their work and their desire is to deliver their best to their guests as a team. They took time to make us feel welcome more like family than guests. They spent time conversing with us and took an interest in our activities. My only regret is that I didn’t have the opportunity to just soak in more of the uniqueness of the older house. The only thing better than spending time with great friends is spending time with great friends in a fabulous home. Thanks, Monica and Daniel for going the extra mile in not just hosting us but in your attention to detail in being B&B hosts!

You're going to LOVE this bed and breakfast. There's so much character and history in every inch of this home. Monica and Daniel were very intentional about the space they created. It's cozy, homey and offers several opportunities to relax and just be. You'll find a beautiful assortment of books in every single room. 😍😍
My personal favorites:
The porch - we were blessed with light rain while there and sitting on a porch, sipping tea while enjoying a rocking chair was absolute bliss.
Monica's homemade breakfast smelled delicious all the way upstairs. She was thoughtful and considered any dietary restrictions as well which just speaks to her heart and creativity in the kitchen.
You could spend your whole entire day, several days just at the house. Light music playing, several seating and resting spots, and at night it's so well lit outside.
If you have a choice, go with Eagles Inn - the shower is incredible!
Hospitality was a 10 out of 10. We had a packed itinerary but were able to chat with Monica and Daniel on a couple of occasions - beautiful couple.
