Carolina Oaks Bed & Breakfast Inn is named simply because it is located at 819 Carolina Avenue surrounded by massive oaks trees towering around the 1905 southern Victorian home. The name was thought of while relaxing on the porch one Sunday afternoon by the innkeepers in 2008. Eventhough the Inn is a new concept for North Augusta, it is original to the early 1900's where many personal homes were use as inns or boarding houses for the staff of the once famous Hampton Terrace Motel until it burned in 1916.

In 2005, Kenny and Rachel Franklin realized a vision they once gleamed shortly after they married while operating the local landmark restaurant the SNO-CAP Drive-In. In 1996, a historical home was for sale across the street which they considered purchasing to raise their family and then one day convert an area of the home as retreat room to share with others for special occassions and just to relax from the daily grind. They determined the project was too much for them at that time.

After a decade, the Franklins took a much-needed retreat to visit their son and found the the Barklin House Bed & Breakfast Inn in Newberry, South Carolina which sparked the fire again. In 2006, they were blessed to find and purchase this rare historical home to share with their children before establishing the home for the use of a small bed & breakfast inn in 2008.
