Owners & Innkeepers

Lori and Lil Lacassagne

As of January 21, 2011, we took ownership of the this North Carolina Inn and are thrilled to be bringing it back to a full-service establishment and to have the opportunity to be involved in this wonderful community.  We owned Saint Jacques French Cuisine located in Raleigh, from November 2004 until July 2015. We are now able to focus our entire efforts on our strong desire to create a “calm getaway” that combines exceptional accommodations, food, and service.  We feel the Burke Manor is the place, located in the middle of the Triad and Triangle, between “everything”!

From the first day, June 2009, when we visited the Inn, we were enthusiastic about the potential it held.  We had been wanting an Inn where we could provide the finest accommodations, and events planning,  along with bringing a little “French Flare” to its surroundings.  The inn’s private dining room,  Saint Jacques @ The Burke Manor Inn, provides the same exceptional food and service that had been provided at the Raleigh location during our ownership.

Lil, being from France, has the ultimate “servant soul” and Lori, growing up in Las Vegas, has the versatility and creativity to accommodate all requests and needs. With our combined backgrounds in the hospitality business (including 11 years on Cruise Ships and 8 years at Michelin Star restaurants) we are adamant about ensuring satisfaction with all aspects of the Inn.   Our true desire to please our guests and ensure a wonderful experience is our ultimate goal.

We look forward to having you at the Inn, and as they say in France “Bonjour.”  Please enjoy your stay!

Sincerely,

Lori & Lil Lacassagne

The Burke Manor Team

History

Caesar Cone, a textile magnate and co-founder of Cone Mills Corporation, built the house on 303 Burke Street in 1906. In 1911, Caesar Cone sold the home to J.W. Burke, where 4 generations of the Burke family resided in the estate. The Brady Family bought Burke Manor in 1999 and restored the home to its original grandeur, as designed by the Cone family. The Brady’s converted the grounds into an inn with the idea of transforming the house into a bed & breakfast. The owners today, Lori and Lil Lacassagne, purchased Burke Manor in 2011.
