The Carriage House is a bright and relaxing suite that one can enjoy some private time looking out on the inn's gardens, watching a Flat Screen TV - DVD movie, listening to a Bose radio or relaxing in a hot tub. The inspiration for the decor came from John's great Aunt Anna Phennecie's wonderful hand-made guilt. Aunt Anna was a Pennsylvanian school teacher, who loved the fresh colors of green and yellow. She inspired life with her students and a new life within the carriage house's cottage motif. Baseball memorabilia of the Yankees and wildlife art of Carl Brenders (Belgium) accents the walls of the living area. Carl and his wife, Paula were some of the first guests to stay in the carriage house while on his American tour this fall. A stately four-poster king-size rice bed topped with accent pillows of green gingham and white batten lace add to the invitation of relaxation and cottage comfort. The bedroom and living area's ceiling fans add to the cozy atmosphere of the carriage house's views. The living room's queen size sofa bed can be used for extra sleeping quarters for a small additional charge.

The Gazebo acts like a chapel back drop at most wedding which allows the event to commune with nature and the natural world. The gazebo is a well-known place for wedding pictures. A beautiful Magnolia tree is located in front of the Inn and makes another picturesque photo opportunity. A year-round flower bed faces the gazebo, offering blooms during every season. The side stone patio offers warm winter relaxing. In the warmth of the solar heated stones, a guest can watch the birds feed and enjoy the blooms of seasonal flowers. A bench and Andiron chairs remind one of the slower pace of days gone by.
Weddings are regular events in the Gardens of the Inn during the spring, summer, and fall. The Fuquay Mineral Spring Inn and Garden has Beer and Wine Permits and offers draft beer and wine to the guests. We work with many local musicans and photographers who provide excellant service. We would forward to working with you to arrange your special day.

John's father Tommy Byrne played with the New York Yankees during the 1940's and 1950's, the Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle era of baseball. 
The Inn is full of memorabilia from this period of baseball. With pictures and books, one can see and read about one of the best sports teams in history. Tommy Byrne made the All-Star Team in 1950 and led the American League in pitching in 1955 (16-5). Many of Byrne's baseball stories have been passed down over the years and are quite enjoyable. Baseballs and trading cards are also part of this collection of the golden age of baseball. John wears each day the 1950 World Series Ring his father has given him. -

A word from the Chef .....
You have to savor every moment with your loved ones, don’t let one get away. Food is more than just a way to power our bodies, it is a way to show love and respect for those special to us. The time spent sharing food is the most important time we can spend with our friends and family.
