There is something refreshing about entering into the season of Fall. The humidity decreases, the temperature drops and people seem to emerge out of their homes and offices a little bit more. If feels good to be able to go outside and get the sense of a cool breeze flowing over your skin. Fall brings a certain energy that also allows you to slow down and take time in just being outside
What if you could fall in love with a more casual, exploratory experience? Fall is also a perfect time to explore those small towns that are scattered throughout the state. Each community offers something just a little different from the other. Most importantly if offers you a chance to support those one of a kind, small businesses that help keep our small towns unique.
Garner, NC is one of those small towns that offers you the chance to experience us and even explore some of the small towns close to us. The best way to start is to book your one of a kind stay at the local bed and breakfast. Personally I would suggest Banks Bed and Breakfast which is conveniently located right across the railroad tracks from Main Street. Starting your morning off with our hearty breakfast will help give you the energy to explore. There are trails close by for hiking, tennis courts right down the street, and major shopping opportunities less than a two mile drive away. But, the casual experience is right across the street. Take your time to explore Main Street and visit a bakery, tea shop, coffee shop, wine store, plant store and in the evening the local bar. Spend time talking with the shop owners and learn their stories to understand what makes the town unique. If you’re here on the weekend the community museum is open on Saturday afternoons which grants you the opportunity to really understand the town’s founding and how it came to be. Falling in love with a small town is a special kind of experience. Think about what made people start their lives here so many years ago. Falling in love with a bed and breakfast that just happens to be in that small town can provide you with that first encounter with how the community began. Staying in a home that has been en-grained in the community since it’s inception takes you back to a time that allows you to slow down and experience a respite much needed. October 22 through November 22, 2025 we are running a special of 20% off the second night of your stay. Book this directly on-line. We look forward to seeing you.
