Wedding Parties are required to rent an entire house if they are planning on photos and others coming to assist preparing on wedding day.  This is so that other guests are not disturbed.  A wedding couple staying the night in one room after their wedding with just them at the B&B is fine.

If you get takeout or delivery, dishes are available in the kitchen. Please place your used dishware and glassware in the dishwasher. Guests are asked not to use the kitchen stove for cooking a meal.   Only extended stay guest are allowed to cook in the kitchen if they have so arranged.

We don’t require that you come to breakfast at a set time which is why our breakfast is set up buffet style so you can eat at your leisure. If you have special dietary needs you are welcome to bring what you need and store it in the refrigerator and you can also use the microwave to warm things up. More info on breakfast and our current hot item menu is on our website breakfast page.  Breakfast food is for breakfast only until 9:30 am, it's not there for snacking on later.

Security at the Bayberry: The Bayberry House Bed and Breakfast is a collection of four private residences around the corner of North Fourth Street and Madison Avenue in the North Fourth Street Historic District. I live on site in the yellow house behind the Mansion and Westfall House and across from the parking area at the Garrett House. The historic area on North Fourth Street has lots of families with children and is a nice residential district with some small professional offices as well. On each side of the inn there is a family living so the area is active with people doing everyday things. Doors are kept locked and you are asked to lock the front door as you come and go.  Outdoor video surveillance is on 24/7 and we are generally always around.



Extended Stay at the Bayberry House B&B:  We offer a good discounted extended stay rate, plus tax, per night for one person, for those staying 15 or more days, call me if you are staying more than 30 days and we can do a monthly rate:
