Accommodations
Caroline’s House
Step into The Vampire Diaries history and stay in the iconic home that served as Caroline Forbes’ house! This charming 130+ year-old historic rental offers plenty of character and small-town charm, with a spacious backyard perfect for relaxing and grilling, plus a cozy front porch swing for unwinding after a day of exploring.
