Property Description
Located in the heart of historic Wilmington, North Carolina, Dreamers Welcome is a design-focused boutique inn offering luxurious amenities, invisible service, and curated guest experiences. Accommodations range from the Drift Away (our cozy 1950s bungalow in Sunset Park) to individually designed suites within a renovated Victorian home just a cobblestone stroll from dozens of restaurants, historic sites, and local shops. Equal parts paperless, vegan, minimal, and tropical, Dreamers Welcome is a feast for the senses and a comfort for the soul—an art-filled urban retreat with a wide century-old front porch just waiting to be lingered upon.The concept behind Dreamers Welcome is simple. We are here to provide you a place to stay that is clean, inspiring, and relaxing. When we think minimal, it means both minimal design and minimal paper, minimal stress and minimal plastic. Dreamers Welcome offers all the amenities of a boutique hotel with all the independence and quiet of a home rental. From our bedrooms and suites, to our porches and dining room — all spaces have been cultivated with a focus on design, green space, and custom artworks from all over the world. All dried floral arrangements and woven wall hangings have been created specifically for the inn. Plants are tucked into every corner of the house. Vintage and modern lighting is featured throughout.
