    About this property

    Entire place

    You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

    The Cottage, a place the whole family will enjoy!

    Our guest cottage offers the perfect farm getaway for you and your family. Wake up to a beautiful sunrise and watch the animals grazing right outside your window. The Cottage is situated on our family farm nestled by the Croatan National Forest just minutes away from North Carolina’s beautiful beaches and historic sites.

    Step into simplicity. Perfect for small family use. Each bedroom features a cozy comforter covered full size bed, clothes closet, and personal mirror. There are personal heaters in each of the bedrooms. In the master bedroom there is a AC window unit. The two smaller bedrooms have personal fans but may get warm if you keep the doors closed. In the bathroom, a walk in shower is perfect for hosing down after a day at the beach or recuperating from sightseeing. You can gather the whole crew in the living room for games and giggles or enjoy some tv time. The cottage also has a quiet nook for reading or working (if you really feel you must). We offer a private Wi-Fi network so you can keep in touch with the rest of the world or relax with a good movie.

    The team sized pine plank dining table is the center piece to the well-equipped full sized kitchen where you can share a big breakfast or quietly sneak midnight snacks. For the grill masters, the large back deck has a stainless steel grill waiting for you and a fire pit for hanging out.

    We live on the property. You are welcome to call us if you need anything or if you have any questions about the farm. We have a strict no party policy.

    Do not enter the pasture and avoid feeding any of the animals without our permission, please. Our dogs run free on the property along with the chickens, a pig, goats and a turkey. They typically stay in the back near our home, but if they do come to see you, they might bark, they are not mean but can be skittish so if you ignore them they will leave. Our neighbors in the red house also have two friendly dogs, chickens and a couple guinea hens.

    No more than 6 guests (including children of any age) are permitted to be on the property at any time. Parties of any kind are prohibited.

    The Cottage is a short drive from some of North Carolina’s most popular vacation destinations.
    Emerald Isle -15 minutes, USA Today voted Emerald Isle Beach the #1 Beach in NC for 2018

    Morehead City - 10 minutes, home of the famous Seafood Festival

    Beaufort - 20 minutes, historic town where pirates lived and wild horses roam nearby.

    Great stay.
    This was the perfect spot for our family of 5 to use as a place to explore beaches and the area. The beaches were more like 25 minutes away, but that didn’t matter much. Clean, well furnished, comfortable, and thoughtful accommodations. Everything was great. The grill was out of gas, but we just cooked inside. My kids loved the animals, both wild and domesticated. Walmart is 5 minutes away and we found a great local ice cream shop in Newport. I would recommend this spot to anyone without hesitation.

    Quaint and quiet setting convenient to NC beaches. Kids loved meeting the animals, romping in the yard, swinging on the tire swing. Excellent and attentive host. Definitely a repeat!

    This was a beautiful property. Very clean and great communication with the owner. She goes above and beyond with making sure you have what you need. Beautifully decorated and we felt at home. Waking up and having coffee by looking out the windows at the beautiful horses was awesome.

    Absolutely perfect!!
    This house is absolutely beautiful! Amy does such a good job making you feel at home and is easy to get in contact with. We loved waking up to the horses every morning and making a fire outside every night. My son loved the tire swings! Amy was so kind to give him a tour of her lovely property and introduce him to all the animals! The goats and donkeys were definitely his favorites! The house was only 20 minutes away from the beach, whether you go to Atlantic Beach or Emerald Isle. Such a peaceful little getaway for our family. Thank you so much for an amazing stay, we can’t wait to come back!
