Philemon House B&B; Lighthouse Room

Philemon House B&B, birthed from the scripture in Philemon 7, is located within walking distance of Elizabeth City's Harbor of Hospitality and attractions. Built in 1950, our home has the historical personality of the district with the updated farmhouse charm of today. We are only an hour's drive from the beaches of Virginia Beach or Outer Banks. Only minutes away from Elizabeth City State University, College of the Albemarle, Mid-Atlantic Christian University, and the U.S. Coast Guard base. Philemon House B&B began based on the scripture Philemon 7: "For I have come to have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you." When you stay with us, our desire is to create an environment where you are surrounded by love and comfort, and your hearts can be refreshed. Come prepared to pampered as we believe in restoring the lost art of hospitality. Nothing fancy here, just plain old-fashioned home cooking. Sit a spell, and allow us to serve you a full farmhouse "family style" breakfast, or just help yourself to our "Grab and Go" options. Enjoy a specialty custom coffee made just for you, or grab a cup of java or hot tea to go. We welcome you to be part of our family, and join us for dinner at no extra charge. Traveling for business or pleasure, we strive to meet all your needs. We have an office area equipped with copier, fax machine, and a computer should you have the need to communicate with family or business parties. Bedrooms are private, but baths are shared. Our home is safe and comfortable, but not set up for children under 12. Unfortunately, we can NOT accommodate pets. Check in anytime after 2:00 pm; check-out time is 11:00 am.
