Lovely place. Fun little town and nice park for walks across the street. It has stairs, so if you have mobility issues, it may be a problem. We loved the privacy and the area. I will definitely come back.
This property is great - so charming - and the host is friendly and available whenever you need her.
There isn't much around to do or eat, but it was very convenient for our visit to Pfeiffer University.

Gold Hill North Carolina
Enjoyed our weekend get away to North Carolina. Was really nice and relaxing. Very different from staying in a Hotel.
What a lovely little apartment and the hosts are so friendly. Would definitely recommend this location. Enjoyed talking to the neighbor Jack the donkey.
Great accommodations while exploring the Gold Hill area. Don’t forget carrots for Jack the donkey who lives next door.

Great Host, Lovely Town
We had a minor issue coordinating our arrival, and the hosts went above and beyond to ensure it wouldn't impact our vacation. I really can't say enough positive things about them and the effort they put in to make sure everything went smoothly for us. Gold Hill is a beautiful town with a lot of history, and this location puts you in the heart of the historic mining area. I'll be looking at this property again next time I visit.

Girl’s weekend!
This place checks all the boxes! It was an absolute perfect stay. It was a little hard to find late in the evening, but once we found it, we loved it! It’s quiet and tucked away. Perfect place to get lost from the outside world. I’m already making plans for a return trip! Highly recommend!

Storybook Setting
I can't recommend this rental enough. Dana was amazing to work with and very responsive to the couple of hiccups we had. The village is so cute and feels like a setting in a Hallmark movie. And then there's the local history. So much history!

This property is beautiful & as described. WE loved the history all around. Had an issue finding it when we 1st arrived by GPS & private home next door has a dog that barks at 7am as a wake up but other than that we had a great visit. We highly recommend Breakfast at Flynn's as well.

Unique stay in Gold Hill
The apartment is the perfect place to stay in quaint Gold Hill. Dana was an excellent host. I appreciated the bottled water and the coffee for the Keurig machine. I will definitely stay here again in the future.
