Located forty-five minutes from the Raleigh-Durham airport and less than two miles from Interstate 85, the Lamplight Inn resides on a 150-year old, five-acre tobacco farm. Let us beckon you with the soft glow of the many chimney lamps used to light this restored farm. Step back from the fast pace of today and join us by the fire in the parlor, relax on the wraparound porch, or stroll the grounds. Outbuildings abound for your exploration including cabins, the stable, the gazebo, and the open-air fitness center located in the barn.
The Main house is fully restored and offers central heat and A/C, a private bath, and satellite TV in each room. Each of our four bedrooms is unique and offers the ultimate in casual comfort, surrounding you with carefully selected furniture, appointments and accessories. Four of the former tobacco drying cabins are being restored for a truly unique vacation experience. The cottages will come equipped with private baths, small kitchenettes, and broad verandas. 
The parlor is a quiet, quaint spot for reading by the fire or enjoying high tea. Enjoy our collection of old books, dolls, depression glass and tobacco memorabilia, or browse our selection of local crafts. The game room is a comfortable lounging area that features a selection of books, games, internet access, and 46" HDTV. All guests are invited to take advantage of our home theater for popcorn and a movie or sporting event.
A gourmet breakfast is served in the classic style daily in the main dining room, or guests may prefer dining on the wide verandah. Picnic baskets are available by advance order and snaxks and beverages are available . Special diet requests are welcome, including vegan and gluten free alternatives..
The Lamplight Inn is only a short drive from Kerr Lake, a 50,000-acre, man-made lake and haven for water sports enthusiasts and landlubbers alike. More than 800 miles of wooded shoreline provide access to a variety of fun-filled activities on the lake including sailing, fishing, water skiing, and hiking. Explore the nearby communities as you hunt for antiques and quality handmade crafts, enjoy historical restaurants, or play a round of golf at Kerr Lake Country Club.

Kerr Lake is one of the largest lakes on the Piedmont. The man-made lake was created in 1953 when the Roanoke River was dammed to assist in flood control and to provide hydroelectric power. Another result was the creation of one of the largest, most popular outdoor recreation areas in the state. Kerr Lake State Recreation Area consists of nine separate rec areas spread out over 3,000 acres of land. Facilities at the rec areas include developed campgrounds, picnic areas, and boat ramps. The lake sees heavy recreational use, with boating and bass fishing being the most popular activities. The lake is large enough that it rarely seems crowded.
Kerr Lake is one of the most highly regarded lakes for largemouth and striped bass fishing in North Carolina. Tournaments are held here regularly during the spring and summer months. Although most fishing is done from boats, most of the rec areas and campgrounds have shorelines with at least some portions suitable for casting.
