Bed and Breakfast North Carolina

Deede Pope grew up in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas and Tom Hinson in coastal South Carolina. Deede's family moved to the Myrtle Beach area in 1977. She and Tom met at the end of 1978 and married in 1981 and occupational moves sent them to Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi then back to Myrtle Beach in 1987. After vacationing in Valle Crucis in 1997 an opportunity to buy a beautiful farm house along the banks of the Watauga River came along. After much soul-searching, Deede and Tom and their two daughters and two sons left the coast for the High Country.

The philosophy of Deede, Tom, and The Baird House is to provide their guests a warm, casual, and hospitable enviroment where they can decompress and relax. Whether it be recommendations and reservations for dinner, suggesting things to do or inviting guests into the kitchen for coffee while breakfast is being prepared, Tom and Deede warmly welcome you to The Baird House.

“You two are master hosts! Your warmth, love of people, and nourishing personalities restore the weary and set them on their way well-fed, relaxed and refreshed.” -Mary and Will, Raleigh, NC
