A Partnership Based On Brotherhood

North Carolina natives Carl and Christopher Caudle bought the 1906 Pine Crest Inn & Restaurant in 2003. Looking for a significant lifestyle change, the brothers came together to breathe new life and energy into this historic property. Christopher is accompanied by his wife April, who shared their wedding vows at Pine Crest Inn in July of 2003.

Carl serves as the General Manager of the Pine Crest Inn. Carl's relocation from Raleigh's Research Triangle Park and transition from the technology sector to the hospitality industry benefits the inn's corporate clientele. Traveling across the country and around the world for previous employers, Carl has experienced first-hand the best and worst of accommodations, conference facilities, and dining for the business traveler. He draws upon these experiences when ensuring that the inn's corporate retreats are appropriately tailored for productivity and relaxation. Carl also brings his passion for wine; an interest that matured during his 7-year tenure living near California's wine country.

Carl and Christopher's parents Ray and Sharon, also North Carolina natives, are frequent visitors to the inn when away from their home on the South Carolina coast. The brothers have two other siblings, another brother and their sister, who both live with their families in near-by Winston-Salem, NC.
