We recently had a wonderful overnight stay at this beautiful and historic home in a lovely neighborhood within walking distance of downtown Salisbury. Karen provided exceptional hospitality to me and my elderly mother, going above and beyond to ensure our physical comfort and peace of mind. She clearly takes great pride in the meticulously restored 1905 house, and was happy to share historic and architectural details, much to our delight. She is a fantastic chef, so breakfast was a real treat. And in these challenging pandemic times, she went to great length to make us feel safe and secure, and even set up a perfect en-suite table for us to bring in our take-away dinner from a local restaurant, since we were not comfortable dining-in at the restaurant. Brava, Karen, on your exceptional inn, and we hope to see you again soon!

We had a fantastic stay. Karen is a most gracious host. She recommended a wonderful restaurant for dinner , La Cava , which use to be a church. It was excellent so we actually went back again the next night! We told Karen we were renovating a 112 year old house we just bought the 7 months ago . She took the time to tell us about her renovation experiences and Ben took us through the house room by room and told us what she did during her renovation. If you love old houses and wonderful host I highly recommend the Turn of the Century Victorian B & B.

Karen has meticulously restored the spectacular “doll house mansion” (her young niece’s words) with such loving attention to detail that you are seeing the home in its former glory. Even her beautiful breakfast is served on stunning antique dishes. Come for Salisbury charm and stay for Karen’s hospitality and stories.
The Turn of the Century B&B is a destination in itself. If it’s not a busy day and Karen has a moment, she can tell you the amazing details of the transformation from a near-ruin to the authentically restored gem which is a unique, cozy and extraordinary place to stay. And please, Karen, do that cookbook soon so I can make your zucchini chocolate muffins at home!

Simply one of the best B&Bs I have stayed in. Karen pays attention to every last detail. She is amazing! The room was very comfortable. A lot of rocking chairs on the wrap around porch which made for a delightful place to sit while eating dinner. Breakfast was incredibly tasty. And Karen is an awesome person with the best stories! AND she gave me scrumdillyious cookies and cold water as parting gifts! GO! ENJOY! I will be back!!!

We had seen this place mentioned in a NC tour book that raved about Salisbury, and found ourselves driving back from another trip and made a quick decision to try it out. Karen graciously allowed our late arrival (8:30pm) and met us warmly. We explained we had one night and half of the next day to see the town, and she started helping with plans immediately. She confirmed her favorite Italian restaurant was still open after 9pm midweek, and said she'd have some ideas when we got back. We got the full house tour of this marvelous Victorian and heard the renovation story - quite a transformation from an abandoned property to this charming B&B. And we had our next day planned before we were in our room for the night.
We stayed in the English Room which was nicely decorated and plenty big. The shower and toilet are tucked away in two former closets - what a great space saving design that was completely functional. There's an English gentleman's dressing wardrobe in case you need to hang anything up.
Breakfast the next morning was excellent, and we finalized our day with Karen over a cup of coffee. We'll be back to this great B&B and to see more of Salisbury!

Rather than spend our first Christmas without our daughter visiting by moping around, we spontaneously booked a room at the Turn of the Century Victorian Bed and Breakfast on lovely South Fulton Street in nearby Salisbury, NC. Due to snow in the forecast and the fact that it was Christmas Day, we were concerned about being able to find a restaurant for dinner that night. The owner, Karen Windate, made over a dozen calls to try to locate something open, which resulted in us being able to enjoy a fine Italian dinner at a restaurant within walking distance. We slept on a dual-control heated mattress cover that made the snowy view outside the window even more delightful. The snow fell to a depth of four inches, and we excited Southerners awakened to a winter wonderland. We fell in love with numerous mansions along the historic street, but were glad to return to the stately, uncluttered Victorian design of the inn. Though we had only a 30-minute drive home, Karen gave us homemade cranberry oatmeal cookies and bottles of water "for the ride." For those who appreciate pampering and classic style, the Turn of the Century Bed and Breakfast is unparalleled.

We decided to skip the hustle in Concord and move out for our visit with my wife's family. Never have stayed in Salisbury but this was a pleasant surprise. It's hard to describe what we found in the Salisbury area. From Civil War Cemetery's to an abundance of craftsman and pre 1900 mansions. Not to forget the library with an entire floor dedicated to genealogy. The Inn we stayed was fascinating and the owner provides a detailed prospective of its history. These few pictures don't do it justice, but they will allow you to consider staying.

So glad you enjoyed exploring Salisbury and were able to experience some of our historic town. It was great to meet you and to have you as my guests, thank you for your review. Lots more to do as the weather gets warmer, trains, museums, trolleys to name a few and the front porch of the inn has its own charm. I hope to see you again in the future.
