About the B&B

Enter the front door at the Carrier Houses Bed and Breakfast and you will experience the peace and tranquility of a bygone era.

 

 

***HURRICANE UPDATE***

 

The Carrier Houses B&B survived the storm with minimal water damage.  We are OPEN and ready to host you with a warm embrace. We have power, hot showers and cable TV.   The town of Rutherfordton is OPEN where you can shop, eat great food, have a drink at one of our favorite bars and just relax on the front porch. Our local wineries are open and the Tryon International Equestrian Center is open too.

We did lose our land line and internet so please book on line or call us at 828-447-9631. We'd love to see you. The only way our small town full of small businesses can survive is to see you here in Rutherfordton. Spread the word to your friends, plan to stay a couple of days and know that your business is greatly appreciated.

 

 

The Carrier Houses Bed and Breakfast includes two of the grandest Victorian houses in historic Rutherfordton, the heart of the Blue Ridge Foothills. Located adjacent to the Main Street Historical District, the Carrier Houses have 8 guestrooms (each include a private bath) decorated with period furnishings in a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Enjoy sitting on the front porch and listening to the water fountain in the garden between the houses or do a puzzle in the parlor while you sip lemonade and eat cookies. When you awake from a restful sleep, a delicious gourmet breakfast awaits you in our Victorian dining room. If you feel adventurous, Rutherfordton has wonderful shops, galleries and restaurants within walking distance of the Carrier Houses.

There are several small towns just a short drive from Rutherfordton perfect for antiquing, shopping and dining. The area is rich with local talent and arts and crafts can be found everywhere.
