Hello! I'm Jaclynn Peters!

I was born and raised in Woodbridge, Virginia. Even at a young age, I had a passion for cooking for people. I was made the "Official Family Pancake Maker" at just eight years old. I moved to the Outer Banks years ago to be closer to family, after becoming a mom to my incredible kid, Kayla. In my work life, I gained valuable experience in the hospitality and food service industry, fueling my entrepreneurial dreams of owning my own food business. My parents, Bill and Veda Peters, have started a number of successful businesses, so the entrepreneurial spirit comes naturally. Since 2005, they have owned and operated the Cypress House Inn Bed & Breakfast in Kill Devil Hills. After helping at the inn for a number of years, I finally found my niche with breakfast. With my folks' encouragement (and kitchen!), as well as the support (and patience!) of my daughter, and partner John, I hope to grow OBX Wake & Take into a respected business on the Outer Banks, and a household name in the community.
