Our Next Chapter Begins in Oriental, NC
Come See Why We’re So Excited
Some places weave themselves into your life over time, quietly and beautifully. Oriental, North Carolina has been part of my story for decades, she’s part of my history that has been shaped by long views of the Pamlico Sound, easy afternoons by the water, and a pace that always felt just right.
Now, Jon and I are beyond excited to continue that story as we relocate Inn on Turner to her new home in this welcoming maritime village—one that embodies everything we love about thoughtful travel, genuine hospitality, and living well as we continue to be inspired by the sea. At the heart of this move is our shared belief in slow travel. Oriental has a way of inviting you to settle in, sleep a little longer, savor easy mornings, and let your days unfold naturally. Here, there’s no rush—only room to breathe, explore, and truly enjoy where you are.
Wellness Travel, Reimagined at Inn on Turner!
Wellness is woven into the fabric of your stay here. One of the features we’re most excited to introduce at our new property is the dedicated spa space, thoughtfully designed for guests seeking restoration, balance, and calm.
After a leisurely breakfast and a day spent exploring the village or the water, our spa offers a serene retreat for therapeutic massage, yoga, and deeply relaxing treatments. This is truly wellness travel at its very best—intentional, unhurried, and designed to complement your adventures by the sea.
Life on the Water, the Oriental Way
Oriental is proudly known as The Sailing Capital of North Carolina. The Pamlico Sound provides the perfect playground for sailors of all levels, with learn-to-sail weekends offering a relaxed introduction to life under sail. As an avid sailor I highly recommend exploring traveling by breeze! Also additional salty adventures await like Kayaking quiet creeks, paddle boarding, easy beach access by bike or foot with wide water views creating endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors at your own pace in your own style.
A Village Made for Wandering
From boutique shops and coastal galleries to locally loved eateries, Oriental is made for strolling and lingering. Friendly conversations, fresh seafood, and creative spaces make every wander feel personal and unhurried. Inn on Turner is in the heart of the Village making access to “all the things” ….effortless.
Culture, Community & Celebration
Oriental’s calendar is filled with beloved events including the April Oriental Boat Show, seasonal festivals, Saturday farmers markets, Autumn happenings and the Spirit of Christmas each Winter with its charming boat parade for a village-wide celebration.
