Boonedocks Guest House
$$$
1108 Fork Point Rd., Oriental
(252) 249-0023
 

 

The Aft Cabin at Boonedocks Marina, just minutes from Oriental, is a comfortable 600 square feet and accommodates two adults gracefully, according to innkeeper Paul Fairbank. A tall, built-in, oversized window seat affords a cozy reading nook and can sleep one or two children. Outdoors, guests enjoy the large screened-in porch with woodsy Adirondack chairs, bistro table and a view of Broad Creek, while indoors this cedar-shingled "little cabin in the woods" boasts all the modern conveniences, including satellite TV, wireless Internet, heat/air, range, microwave and coffeemaker.  The innkeeper says guests should bring their sense of adventure and desire to relax, but leave the cookware and linens at home, because the cabin is essentially a European-style housekeeping cottage. The marina provides practically everything a guest needs, including cookware, dinnerware, bed and bath linens, board games, good books and even a DVD player. Paddlers will appreciate a handy put-in on Broad Creek; two kayaks and a canoe are available for those who don't bring their own. The marina charges a $10 "sinking fund" fee for a full day's use of the small boats. Broad Creek provides many miles of serene, flat-water paddling. Call for pricing and availability.MH 10-23-07

One room has an in-room kitchenette, and an "artist's loft" is furnished with one queen, one double and a twin-size bed. Furnishings are comfortable pieces of everything — antiques, reproductions, one-of-a-kind wall hangings and bed coverings. Colorful, imaginative motifs vary from room to room. Come morning, guests are served at individual tables in the large dining room. The Gradys offer a full American breakfast, allowing guests to choose from many favorite breakfast items.
