Southern Hospitality
Nothing connotes Southern hospitality like warm and welcoming people. North Carolina is home to multitudes of family-owned businesses that exude that slice of Southern life just like the Davidson Village Inn in Davidson, NC. Our inviting boutique hotel sits on the site of the Maxwell Chambers Hotel (circa 1800), and our traditional architecture reflects that history. More importantly, however, is that our careers as hoteliers allow us to create an experience where each of our guests feels right at home.
Eat Like a Local
During your NC road trip, plan pit stops along the way to take advantage of amazing Southern cuisine. Check out some of the best stops for foodies. Did you know Lexington, NC is the BBQ Capital of the World?
No Travel Restrictions
Let’s face it, we all want to be safe. An NC road trip affords you the ability to limit your exposure, which isn’t possible with other forms of travel.
We do encourage everyone to follow the recommended CDC Guidelines for travel and to consider coming to North Carolina via the “road less traveled.”
Start each day off right with a hearty continental breakfast delivered to the Inn from our friends at Famous Toastery. Davidson Village Inn is your well-appointed and comfortable home base with luxurious amenities and warm Southern hospitality conveniently located in downtown Davidson.
