Due to the devastation of Hurricane Helene, the Celo Inn is closed. The South Toe River rose almost 30 feet to the ceiling of the first floor and the cottage was completely swept away. The damage is likely irreparable.
As the innkeepers, we are mourning so much. The loss of our home, the life we thought we were building, our business, many of our belongings, and the gift of respite we have been honored to offer so many over the last two and a half years. It is truly a community-wide loss.
If you have ever been touched by our Inn, we humbly ask for your help as we piece our lives back together, help our community rebuild, and begin to imagine what could replace what the Celo Inn has meant for so many people. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
