THE WILDLIFE
From the front porch, watch as schools of dolphin swim by and the river otters play on the rocks. From the dock you can fish for flounder, trout or red drum and even do some crabbing. Bald eagles can often be found when kayaking on one of the many creeks in Pamlico County.

REVIEWS
-
“Good times, good friends, good food, and in general lots of good fun. No other place in the world (and we have traveled extensively) can compare to the river house and the laid back and comfortable stay that it affords.”
-
“For kids it was paradise. We spent hours roaming the streets by bicycle, and walking the docks to look at the sailboats and shrimp boats. I remember the tin roof and I loved listening to the rain on that roof. So many fond memories of the Stallings house. Oriental was just the perfect escape from the big city.”

“My fondest memories of the Stallings House were lots of people preparing meals in the big kitchen, watching a movie in a comfy sitting room, and sleeping with wide open windows with a great breeze! Outside, it was surely sitting on the porch and looking out over the beautiful green grass and water.”
