Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Awarded "2025 Best Bed & Breakfast" in the county, The Harris-Martin House, built in 1837, gives you a stay experience that is a perfect mix of Southern style, history and modern comfort!

With three porches, you have outdoor space to enjoy your time together. The Parlor was literally built for good conversation, a vibe that lasts to the present day. Original long-leaf pine floors, milled pine board walls, a clawfoot tub, and vintage wavy-glass windows await.

Come enjoy a historic time!

The space
The Harris-Martin provides a variety of spaces for you to relax in. A parlor, sitting room, and dining room provide perfect environments for good conversation, good food, and good drink. What would an old Southern home be without porches? There are three-- complete with rocking chairs, a porch swing, and outdoor couches.

There are three bedrooms. The large Master Suite has a King bed, claw foot tub, fireplace, and access to the upstairs porch. Downstairs there is a full size, four-poster spindle bed. In another room you will find a twin day bed with a trundle underneath that can convert into a King Bed.

For those looking to do a little comfort food cooking, the kitchen is fully-equipped with large granite countertops and a full range of stainless steel appliances. A wood pellet grill is provided for the BBQ chef (with one bag of pellets).

Guest access
You have full access to the house! Although The Harris-Martin resides in the historic district, it sits on nearly a full two acres. You are a very short walk from our winery tasting room (Winking Stars Sparkling Wines), a great Mexican restaurant (with full bar!) and antique shopping.

We are building a winery outdoor venue in the back lot so that area is reserved for our onsite contractors and manager only. We anticipate being able to host private tastings soon!

Other things to note
You will have your own, personal access code for the front door sent to you before your stay.
