There’s A Themed Bed and Breakfast In The Middle Of Nowhere In North Carolina You’ll Absolutely Love
When you think of themed hotels, you probably don’t think about patriots, or presidents, or chefs, but all three of those are covered in this uniquely themed B&B in the tiny town of Grover, North Carolina.

The town's most famous mansion, the Hambright House, is now home to The Inn of the Patriots, owned by two chefs who have served multiple U.S. presidents during their careers.
Its owners both have connections to the White House and a slew of former presidents. Chef Marti served in both the White House and Camp David under five presidents and has prepared meals for countless celebrities that were invited to the White House. His chef coat still bears the Presidential Seal.
Each of the comfy rooms is luxuriously decorated and each has its own private bath. The B&B is located in the most historic mansion in town and guided tours are offered to each guest.
As a guest, you'll even get to see the cellar — the most coveted part of the house apparently... because if you want to dine down there (as others have) you'll pay a $695 table charge and $145 per person (plus 18% gratuity) for the pleasure. But THAT'S just for special occasion dining in the cellar, not in the dining room.
Want to learn to cook from a former Executive Chef to presidents? You can do that here too! Special cooking classes are scheduled throughout the year. Both owners of the Inn of the Patriots have served current and former U.S. presidents and you can learn their secrets in one of their popular classes.
The historic B&B is also home to the state's only Presidential Culinary Museum. Here, you'll see (among other fascinating things) complete china place settings belonging to at least five former first ladies.
The Inn of the Patriots Bed and Breakfast Hotel is located at 301 Cleveland Ave., Grover, NC 28073. Learn more about this uniquely themed B&B on their official website.
