Stay in harmony
with art & nature
Welcome to The Blue Juniper Inn
Embrace the beauty of art and nature during your stay at our contemporary boutique hotel nestled in the heart of North Carolina’s Inner Banks. Our tiny riverfront town of Columbia is unhurried, uncrowded, and surrounded by undisturbed natural beauty. And we’re a three-minute walk to the riverfront gallery and campus of Pocosin Arts and School of Fine Craft.
From the Inn’s broad welcoming porch, stroll down to the Scuppernong River boardwalk. Kayak, canoe, fish, or just relax and watch the sailboats arrive and depart. Better still, wait for one of our glorious sunsets over the Albemarle Sound. The next day, immerse yourself in the solitude of our more than 350,000 acres of pristine national wildlife habitat. And you’re just a short 45-minute drive to the beautiful Outer Banks region. Reserve with us, avoid the crowds, and stay in harmony with art and nature!
Let us be your sanctuary away from home.
