STAR BED & BREAKFAST

THE HOTEL

The Star Hotel Bed & Breakfast is a historic site, completely renovated in 2004, located right in the southern heart of North Carolina. Built in 1896, The Star Hotel Bed and Breakfast was located at the junction of two major railways in North Carolina. Where the North/South railway met the East/West railway, many times the passengers would get off the train and would have to spend the night waiting for the train to pass the next day. Even though they didn’t call it a Bed & Breakfast back in those days, in essence, it was exactly that. People would spend the night, wake up and eat breakfast and take off again. The Star Hotel Bed and Breakfast is the perfect place to stay, with Pinehurst and Troy only a short driving distance away as well as Charlotte, Greensboro, and Raleigh all within equal distance.

A Convenient Location

STAR

The Center of North Carolina

With Star being right in the heart of North Carolina, all of North Carolina’s treasures are just a short drive away!

Starworks

Strives to engage the community with artwork and artists of the highest caliber. Starworks is a project of Central Park NC.
In rural areas, residents often live in cultural deserts. Too often access to the arts is limited to a narrow range of artistic vision, vernacular imagery, and craft styles. Through strategic partnerships with other artists, arts organizations, and businesses, Starworks has been working to increase the diversity of artistic experiences available by bringing nationally and internationally known artists for demonstrations, classes, lectures and to make new works of art. Our programs are targeted to professional makers, with additional programming for young adults and children.

Lake Tillery

Swimming, boating, boat rentals, fishing, water sports. The fishing and boating are great! Numerous, attractive lake-front housing communities provide residents with year-round enjoyment of this popular destination.

Lake Tillery is a reservoir between Falls Reservoir and Blewett Falls Lake in the Uwharrie Lakes Region of North Carolina. It is entirely within Stanly County and Montgomery County, NC. The lake was created by impounding the Pee Dee River, which is created by the confluence of the Yadkin River and the Uwharrie River several miles to the north. Norwood, NC in neighboring Stanly County uses as its town motto “Gateway to Lake Tillery”.

Uwharrie National Forest

Where you can go horseback riding, hiking, hunting, canoeing, off-roading, and recreational panning for gold at Reed’s Gold Mine!

Uwharrie National Forest is a federally designated national forest region located primarily in Montgomery County, but also extending into Randolph and Davidson counties in south-central North Carolina. It is the smallest of the four National Forests in North Carolina, with a total area of 50,645 acres. However, it does have a local ranger district office in Troy, North Carolina. There is one officially designated wilderness area within the forest—the 5,025-acre Birkhead Mountains Wilderness. The forest derives its name from the Uwharrie Mountains, the ancient mountains atop which most of the forest sits.

Town Creek Indian Mound

Offers a glimpse of pre-Columbian life which brings to life a rich cultural heritage from the buried past.

Town Creek Indian Mound is an unusual phenomenon in the history of North American archaeology. While most archaeological sites are investigated for a few years before archaeologists move on to new locations, Town Creek, situated on Little River (a tributary of the Great Pee Dee in central North Carolina), has been the focus of a consistent program of archaeological research for more than half a century.
