Visit With a Spanish Mustang 24 May 2012, 12:00 pm

These are the most amazing horses you will find on the East Coast. The Outer Banks was their home until development and people that had little respect for the natural and cultural resources of this area tried to have them removed. Today, they finally have the recognition they deserve and survive in their natural environment in Corolla on the northern Outer Banks. This is a special treat to have one living at the Historic Island Farm on Roanoke Island. Make your plans today to get intoduced to Grace and Rainbow! Bebe Woody, The White Doe Inn.

White Doe Inn Guests enjoy WinterLights at The Elizabethan Garden, Outer Banks NC 14 Dec 2011, 7:20 am

White Doe Inn guest Teresa says "I went to the WinterLights at Elizabethan Gardens last week and was enchanted! Got to meet Nickie, Troy, and Ned the head gardener. Nickie did most of the work according to the other two warming by the Christmas fire, and she did a fantastic job. It was hard to pick my favorite, but in the end, I voted for the Gingerbread houses with a Church complete with "stain-glassed" windows. I was so charmed by the people and displays that I joined the Elizabethan Gardens as a member, and can't wait to go back!  Thanks for a great trip and wonderful evening... God Bless us everyone!"

The large bath offers black marble tile, a large clawfoot tub that sit under beautiful stained glass windows and separate shower. A Keurig coffee maker, microwave and mini-fridge offer additional amenities to make guest feel more at home.

Glass French doors take you into the separate sitting area with a flat screen television and fireplace. This part of the suite encompasses the top of the tower and offers the round architecture of the Queen-Ann style

Victorian that so many love.

A White Doe Inn Wedding Event 20 Oct 2011, 10:13 am

The White Doe Inn specializes in small intimate weddings. Weddings at the Inn are planned on the lawn, however sometimes the weather has a different plan. This wedding was one of those occasions, so the Inn was transformed inside to hold the ceremony and host a sit down dinner for 20. Having booked the entire Inn for their guests, The White Doe Inn was able to accommodate the bride and groom's wishes to create a "weekend event".

Deborah was absolutely stunning as she descended the staircase. The ceremony was held in the parlor where Robert Woody officiated. The crystal chandelier's soft light danced in the mirrors during the ceremony and three course dinner. Deborah collected and made all the decorations herself, including the table decor and set up, each piece holding a special meaning. Everything sparkled, the chandeliers and the flickering table candles, it was entirely magical!

From the bride and groom... 

"Sergio and I would like to thank you for helping us create our most perfect wedding day. In planning our wedding, every detail, every word, every moment was intended to create an intimate celebration of love in all its forms. Our wedding was meant to be love’s conduit. And so it was. You helped us achieve that. 
.... You worked out an itinerary that would allow us to accomplish everything that was important to us. You made suggestions that enhanced the ambiance of our day. And I always knew that everything would work out, no matter what might happen. We’d planned for every contingency."
