The Shaffner Inn | Winston-Salem Historic Inns

What an absolutely delightful bed and breakfast! The tastefully decorated rooms with the old world antiques to the lovely living room complete with piano was so charming. An elegance rarely seen nowadays. The breakfast was exceptional as well, with fresh cooked food, fresh fruit and delicious coffee. All served on real china no less!! I can’t recommend highly enough. The innkeeper Shane was friendly and helpful as well. One of the most delightful stays we’ve had in years, and all for a reasonable price.

2/7/26-Stayed in the Falls Room of this very nice bed and breakfast. The Falls Room is large and comfortable and has a large bathroom. The Shaffner is walking distance to 4th street with all of its restaurants. The only issue is the noise coming from the adjacent Highway 421, however with the in room sound machine and a fan that I brought with me, the street noise was reduced to an acceptable level. The breakfast in the morning was great and we overall enjoyed our stay.

Exactly as advertised, with all the old house charm, and at a great price. Staff were super helpful and available at the desk or via text for any questions. The house is situated right next to a busy highway, but a white noise machine was available in the room if I wanted to use it. Great location for walking to downtown Winston-Salem (~15 minute walk) or Old Salem (~20 minute walk). The breakfast was sublime, and I felt so fancy with the lovely china and sideboard buffet. Thanks for a great stay!

Innkeeper was very attentive and helpful allowing us to complete late check in Christmas Eve with no hiccups (thanks to their clear instructions)! Wachovia room was very pleasant, loved the tub, the room was clean and comfortable. We are STILL talking about how delicious the biscuit and gravy breakfast was! Definitely put this place high on your list for stays in Winston Salem!

Perfect place to rest and walk around downtown to get good food. Its a great spot for couples not a place you should take children . It was amazing and the experience is 100%

I am completely smitten with this Inn and Winston-Salem. I think the most important aspect to note, is I felt safe here. Shane the Inn Manager is amazing, personable and knowledgable. The other staff members were great as well, altho their names escape me, all very nice, and helpful. It's clean, charming and I can't wait to go back.

I had a lovely one night stay at the Shaffner. Check in was flexible and easy. The room was large, comfortable, and economical. Breakfast was great. I had no issues with comfort or security either in the parking lot or inside. I would revisit the Shaffner next time I am in Winston-Salem.
