    Our happy place!

    Honestly, I don’t know where to begin with how PERFECT our wedding was at Arrowhead Inn.
    It all started last year when my (now) husband and I took our first getaway trip to stay for a night, we were so in love with the inn, the owners Stephanie & Ron, the food, the location, the romantic rooms and grounds, that we kept going back every other month. Not once did it ever disappoint.
    Then Jack proposed, we knew immediately we wanted to get married there with all our closest friends & family under the same roof!
    Ron, Steph, and their daughter Hannah, did EVERYTHING to make our day perfect! Helped us with finding a reverend, who to call for the most beautiful flowers, and the most mouth watering food! They went and picked up my favorite Prosecco and set up rooms and our dining space exactly how I’d dreamed! They even made my FAVORITE breakfasts so I was nothing but smiles from the moment I arrived to when we left!
    I’ve been in 29 weddings, and this was the most fun, least stressful wedding I’ve ever been to-and it was MINE!!
    There are no words that can truly describe how grateful I am to this place & their owners & ALL their staff for treating us like family! They’ll always have a special pace in our hearts, and we WILL ALWAYS go back!

    Ps- we tried not to have phones out bc our photographer, Joanna Sue, was also amazing and everyone was so in the moment and happy! So apologize photos currently lacking!

    Arrowhead Inn's reply:

    What an awesome couple!! We feel like y'all are part of our family! We were so honored to be a part of your special day and look forward to your future visits!

    Thanks for this kind review and for taking to time to write it.

    Beautiful Venue, Wonderful Owners, Perfect Day

    We were looking for a small wedding venue that was romantic, beautiful, had a relaxed atmosphere for our family, and wouldn't break our budget. We found all of that and more with the Arrowhead Inn.
    The Arrowhead is a gorgeous property, both inside the Inn (and the cottage and cabin rooms) and the grounds outside. We had our ceremony at the gazebo, and stayed in the cabin 2 nights, which was perfect for newlyweds. We rented the whole Inn (all the rooms) for our family, who stayed there after our dinner/reception. All of the rooms have been recently remodeled. Our families and friends couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful the Inn was, and how impressed they were. Breakfast both days was delicious, as well!
    Ron, Stephanie, and their daughter Hannah were wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. Thanks to Covid, they helped us reschedule the wedding to a new date, and were so accommodating and understanding. They were helpful and friendly throughout the weekend, our families loved talking with them. Stephanie even helped hold and take care of our 5 month old son so that our families could take pictures and have some time to celebrate!
    Ron, Stephanie, and Hannah helped make our wedding weekend so special. We believe we found such a special place, and a great value for the money we spent. We are planning to come back and stay in the cabin for our 1 year anniversary!

    Arrowhead Inn's reply:

    Whitney!!! Thanks for your very kind words! It was our pleasure to be a part of your special day and we greatly appreciate you and Dave allowing Arrowhead Inn to serve as your venue. We enjoyed the opportunity to meet your family and look forward to seeing y'all again next year. Until then, be safe and Happy Holidays!!

    Amazing owners; Gorgeous location

    An absolutely gorgeous location for a small intimate wedding (we had 30 people). Ron and Stephanie went out of their way to make sure our day was just perfect!

    Arrowhead Inn's reply:

    Thanks Sasha, for taking the time to write this review. Now more than ever, we believe we offer a great option for weddings up to 30 people. We appreciate you allowing us to be part of your celebration!!

    Wedding day perfection!

    Stephanie, Ron and the entire staff at Arrowhead Inn Bed and Breakfast ensured our elopement package and entire wedding experience exceeded expectations. From the recommendations for the officiant and florist, to the wine, food and room, Stephanie and Ron made sure our special day is something we will cherish for a life time.

    Arrowhead Inn's reply:

    Thanks for taking the time to write this review. It was our pleasure to be a part of your special wedding day. We truly enjoyed meeting you both and look forward to seeing you again soon!

    Elopement Package Wedding

    My fiancé and I did the elopement package at the Arrowhead. It was the perfect choice. Stephanie and Ron are so welcoming and making you feel as comfortable as you would be in your own home. The grounds are immaculate and there are plenty of nice places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. We stayed in the Garden Cottage and it was beautifully decorated and the amenities are lovely. The whirlpool bathtub and steam function on the shower really made us feel like we were at a spa. Stephanie’s cooking is delicious! I would absolutely recommend anyone who’s looking to have any size wedding or someone who just wants a few nights away to stay here. Thanks Ron and Stephanie for such an lovely stay!

    Arrowhead Inn's reply:

    Thanks for taking the time to write this review. It was a pleasure having you both stay with us during this very special time. We are happy that you enjoyed Arrowhead Inn and hope to see you both soon!!

    Elopement Wedding

    We eloped to Arrowhead Inn on May 31 2019 Ron & Stephanie made sure our day was nothing short of perfection. They truly dedicated their time & went out of their way for us. We stayed in the Garage Cottage. It is so beautiful & room service was GREAT. The grounds are phenomenal! They take such great care of lawn, landscaping, & flowers (everywhere)! My husband & I enjoyed a few drinks by the fire pit. However, the hammock was by far my favorite. Honestly it’s so gorgeous we didn’t leave the place. We ate their the whole time. Ron is a awesome cook. Stephanie makes the best breakfasts. The food was out of this world. Our wedding was truly perfect. It was everything we wanted & more. This place makes for great photos. We decided to have our whole wedding under the gazebo. (Ceremony, removal of garder, cake cut, toast, & 1st dance.) I will say it was a bit hot that day, which is the ONLY downfall. Good thing I went with a simple A-line dress. Our package included the cake (oh so tasty) and a massage! Arrowhead Inn will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will return for our anniversaries.
    Thanks again friends
    Carissa & Keith

    Arrowhead Inn's reply:

    Thanks Carissa for allowing us to be part of your special day and for taking the time to write this review. We are so happy for you both!! We are glad you enjoyed the amenities of the Arrowhead Inn and your stay in the Garden Cottage. We look forward to your return trip!

    The Arrowhead Inn is as close to perfection! Phil and Gloria (Innkeepers) were amazing at anticipating our needs - which ensured our stay was relaxing, enjoyable, and romantic beyond expectations. The in-room personal chef dinner is not to be missed. Already decided we'll be back year-after-year - simply was that great. Looking for a venue in the Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill area? Can't go wrong at Arrowhead. Go there now!

    The Arrowhead Inn is casually elegant, relaxed, refreshing and completely dedicated to service and satisfaction of their guests. Our wedding was casual, but the staff made sure it went off without a hitch, guided the timing and coordination of everything from the prewedding gathering on Friday, through the end of the reception on Saturday evening and the Sunday brunch. It was a complete family member only wedding weekend and reserving the entire inn for the weekend made for some magical family moments.

    Gloria and Phil Teber (the owners) are fantastic. The Guest Cottage was amazing, and the grounds and garden surrounding the property were ideal for an outdoor wedding. The food was second to none - Phil is a master chef! If you are looking to have a small, intimate wedding, definitely check out the Arrowhead Inn! My new husband and I are already planning to celebrate our first year anniversary there!

    A Dreamy Day

    I'm very pleased to have chosen the Arrowhead Inn for our big day! It was helpful to have Stephanie be our day-of coordinator as she kept us all on track and on time.

    We decided to purchase the small wedding package which perfectly fit our needs.

    The only thing that could have been improved upon was communication with Ron and Stephanie as sometimes we would not hear back immediately after we sent an email, etc.

    Included in the small wedding package was a two night stay at the Inn which included breakfast which was absolutely delicious! All the details of our big day and our stay in general made everything worth it and a great value.

    Arrowhead Inn's reply:

    Hey Erica!! Thanks for taking the time to write this review. It was our pleasure to be a part of your special day!

    And thanks for the feedback on communications. We try to work with a 24 - 48 hour response time when we have multiple inquiries and weddings to plan. We need to revisit and see how we can improve.

    Best wishes for your new "adventure". We hope to see you again at Arrowhead Inn.

    Beautiful place, Management and Service Lacking

    This place is beautiful for a small wedding, and the manager Stephanie puts up a good front in the beginning but on the day of our wedding I felt like she was winging it the whole time. She had our day of itinerary and constantly asked me questions to information she already had, when the photographer was scoping out places to shoot and checking lighting she complained about him doing his job, after the ceremony she did not direct people to enjoy the happy hour so people didn’t know what to do, they had no idea how to run the music playlist (and during all our music, it shorted out and ruined our dances), the lunch which was plated took over an hour to be served which cut into our reception time, and lastly she couldn’t be bothered to look as nice as a server in terms of how she dressed. She was wearing jeans and a crop top style outfit as the manager and MC. Finally, when it was time to wrap up the wedding, she gave the rudest request to exit basically saying, “Get out we want to clean and go home” I was beyond embarrassed by her announcement. The wedding packages are 3 hours, and they really should be 4 to do a beautiful job, and leave time for a buffer. But this place clearly wants to make a profit with weddings while doing the least amount of work possible. The husband Ron is nice to work with but stays out of the wedding part, but with my few interactions with him, he could have done a better job. If you choose this place, get a wedding planner and pay for them to direct or you’ll have to do it all your own and be stressed when it’s your day to enjoy your wedding.

    Arrowhead Inn's reply:

    As an historic Inn and one of only four 4-Diamond hotels in Durham as rated by AAA, our primary business will always be serving as a Select Registry Bed & Breakfast. However, requests for our facility and grounds for intimate weddings has grown significantly over the last 2 years. We approach each event as a learning opportunity on how to make the day as special as our brides deserve. Our sincere apologies for not delivering our best experience on your wedding day.

    As discussed at the original meeting with an owner, we were hiring a coordinator to transition the planning of our events. The goal was to manage the increased wedding business with a dedicated event planner/coordinator which would be supported by the owners. We apologize how our inadequate and evolving role definitions with new staffing impacted your wedding day.

    After your wedding we made adjustments to require key details and checklist to be be finalized at least 2 weeks prior to the wedding day. Many of the detailed plans were not completed until just a few days prior to your wedding and the music request wasn’t available until the morning of your wedding. We were not able to handle the last-minute details, the most evident example being the inability to get your music fully downloaded. We were dependent on streaming speeds of music videos/music that failed during your dance. We now ensure that all the plans are detailed in advance so we can properly prepare for the day. We want our brides to be as stress-free as possible so they can focus on the important memories which clearly wasn’t the case with your experience.

    One of the key attributes of our 9-room Inn is that the wedding experience is significantly enhanced when the wedding party rents the whole Inn. This provides the most flexibility on timing of the wedding and truly allows for an intimate experience with the closest friends and family. Without renting the full Inn, we must manage a schedule for the event between 12PM – 3PM so our facility, grounds, and parking options can still accommodate the overnight guests of our Bed & Breakfast. This has not been an issue for other events but clearly we didn’t properly manage the timeline you created for your wedding.

    We will continue to make introspective adjustments and changes for a seamless experience. We apologize for anything less than a perfect day for you.
