The outside shot of the "Inn at Truesdale Farm" is actually Orton Plantation. Orton Plantation is typical of antebellum Southern Plantation architecture and a historic landmark located in Smithville Township, between Wilmington (where the show is filmed) and Southport in Brunswick County, NC. It was first built in 1725 and shortly after burned down by Indians and was rebuilt in 1735. The plantation has beautiful gardens that can be visited in spring and summer when the house is not undergoing renovations.
The Orton Plantation where the Inn scenes were filmed, was the location of the original Firestarter film.
