Love this cottage!

We love this pretty cottage… cozy, comfortable, clean and had plenty of room to spread out when family came by. My favorite spot is the back screened porch to chat, read, watch the birds and just enjoy a light breeze. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with supplies. We hope to stay again soon. I highly recommend this cottage. The host was great. Thank you!

The home is wonderful. We wanted to visit Charlotte but we didn't want to stay in Charlotte. The beds were comfortable and slept well. If you enjoy antique shopping, there's a cute shop less than five miles away. The owners are friendly and welcoming.

Nice Cottage/Great Location

This cottage was ideally situated for our visit to the Charlotte area. Convenient location close to I85 made our trips to see family and friends very convenient. House was very well kept and all appliances, etc. were in good working order. Yard and porches looked great. BeingNovember we didn't get to take full advantage but the property was very nice and well kept. Property manager was very responsive. A small issue came up during our stay, and was handled appropriately and timely by the owner.

Fabulous, clean and comfortable little cottage!

This is a sweet little property, and was just right for spending several quiet days with my husband and mother while we visited the area. It's located in Gastonia's historic district - a quaint neighborhood of like homes not far from the town's growing downtown area, where we enjoyed several very good restaurants. The house has been renovated with homey thoughtful touches and a soft color scheme that lends to a comfortable stay. The owner makes it clear through several messages (before, during and at the end of the stay) that she's there to help with whatever her tenants need to make their stay just right. I travel quite a lot and use VRBO frequently - this place is lovely.

Great location for surrounding areas lose to Gastionia.

Visiting for family wedding. Great location and size of house. Nice that house had two full bathrooms to get ready. Party traveling was four adults (two couples). Great kitchen and living room was perfect size. The men didn’t miss the Saturday college football games. This house is a win win would stay again.

Great, clean place!

We stayed here while visiting some friends in Lincolnton. The house is right off the main drag, so driving was a cinch. Pretty quiet neighborhood, we worked and did school from it. We were two people and were very comfortable at the house.

Beautiful Home

Beautifully decorated, charming home in a nice neighborhood. Lots of space in a fenced back yard. We loved it all! The beds and pillows were very comfortable, using the locks was easy, it was a very nice place for my wife to hang out with the kids during the week while I was doing work nearby. The 3 smart tv's with a roku in guest mode were really convenient. Highly recommend.

Pleasant Stay

House location was great. Owner took lots of time to set up home in a very pleasing aesthetic. The neighbors/neighborhood was great. Only minor issue is that the house next door is under construction at the moment so there are loud workers there most days (including the weekends) and are on the roof and pretty much right next to the house. Good news is the construction probably only has one more month so it should be a non issue here soon. Other than that the house is great for a short term stay and the owner is the most responsive one I have worked with on VRBO.
