Greensboro, North Carolina Inn: Troy-Bumpas

The Inn

Experience the best in Greensboro, NC, lodging! At the Greensboro Troy-Bumpas Inn bed and breakfast, three luxurious guest rooms, three common rooms and a wonderful front porch provide ample space for you to relax and unwind. Each guest room has a private bath (two with whirlpool tubs), air conditioning, fireplace, free wireless Internet access (WIFI), cable TV, DVD player, and a wonderfully comfortable queen or king bed. There’s no need to pack a hair dryer or robe; you’ll find them in your room. The inn has secure off-street parking and a guest computer where you may check your email (if you must!)

Each morning at our Greensboro inn we serve a delicious multi-course, home-cooked hot breakfast in the dining room. Many of our ingredients come from local farms and producers. Coffee and teas are available each morning at 7:30 a.m. If you have specific dietary needs or preferences, please let us know in advance so we can best accommodate your needs. Complimentary snacks and beverages – including home-baked cookies – are available daily.

Breakfast

The day begins with fresh-brewed coffee or a choice from our array of teas delivered to the second-floor guest lounge by 7:30 a.m. We prepare a multi-course hot breakfast each morning and serve it to guests in the dining room from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. (Just let us know if you need an earlier breakfast.) If you have specific dietary needs, food allergies or food preferences, please let us know in advance so we can best accommodate your needs.

Menus vary daily, but breakfast typically includes fruit, juice and freshly baked scone, muffin, quick bread or coffeecake along with a delicious entrée. The Troy-Bumpas Inn cookbook includes a wide range of entrees — French toast, baked egg dishes, omelets, frittatas, pancakes, and waffles — served with various breakfast meats. From time to time, we feature our recipes on our blog.

History

History buffs will enjoy reflecting on the history this home has seen. Built in 1847 by Rev. Sidney Bumpas and his wife Frances Webb Bumpas, the home is listed on the National Historic Register and is one of twelve in Guilford County built before the Civil War that still survives. During the Civil War, Union soldiers occupied the home and used it as the Union’s Western Greensboro Headquarters. The Bumpas’ daughter Duella and her husband Robert Troy reared seven children in the house; the home stayed in the family until the 1970s and has been a bed and breakfast most of the time since then. At least two major renovations have taken place, one in 1911 which added on to the original home and another in 2004 that updated many areas.
