Brought the whole family and barely saw the kids: they played hide and seek so long we lost them. Spacious, well appointed, gorgeous and so private/quiet. Not our last stay, we were just passing through but will make it a destination next time! 10/10 would recommend

The property was perfect for our family. Plenty of room for gathering or private time. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed. Bedrooms and beds were comfortable and include most of what a traveler needs. And the back deck was a nice addition to enjoying the birds in the morning and evening.Recommend that visitors bring slippers as the owner prefers you remove your shoes when entering the house.Also, the owners were very responsive to our questions and if there was an issue, fixed it immediately. We'd definitely stay here again should we return to this area of NC.
