About this property

Beautiful pet friendly lodge in a quaint fishing village and sleeps 16

This spacious charming lodge is located in Engelhard. Boasting five bedrooms and two baths, this house could easily accommodate two families or a large group. We are pet friendly. Renters are responsible for any pet damage. There is a beautiful farm across from the lodge that has black Angus cows, horses and a small pond.

Pamlico Sound is just down the street. Lake Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge (full of trails suited for hiking or biking) and Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge are both just a few miles away. The beaches of the OBX are 45 minutes away, including Kitty Hawk, NC Aquarium @ Manteo, Wright Brothers Memorial, Jennette's Fishing Pier, and The Lost Colony. Historic Bath is an hour away where you can learn more about Black Beard. Swan Quarter National Wildlife Refuge is 30 minutes away. Pungo National Wildlife Refuge is about 45 minutes. Eco Tours are available at neighboring townships. Charter boats and hunting guides are for hire in the area. Numerous State of North Carolina Game Lands surround the area.

Perfect clean home for your ENC getaway

We came down for a hunting trip and this property was great. Great area in Engelhard, ample beds, spotless on the inside, fully equipped kitchen and so much more. The owners made us feel at home and communication was great with some spot on recommendations.

Relax and Recharge

The Gibbs lodge was a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the real world. Although it was a little more remote than we had anticipated, the amount of things to do in the Hyde county area was immense. The Gibbs family has quite a history in the area and they welcomed us with open arms. Great place to stay and relax.

Great property in Englehard

If your travels bring you to Englehard, this is a great place to stay. The home is clean, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked. There was plenty of room to spread out all the family members. The hosts were very responsive and welcoming. We will rent again. Thank you for your hospitality.

Relaxing Getaway

We had a lovely stay at this property. The setting was peaceful, and it was a good location to drive to lots of other places we wanted to visit in eastern NC (OBX, various state parks and wildlife refuges, and Lake Mattamuskeet). Plenty of space to spread out, well-equipped kitchen and nice yard to hang out and grill and have a fire in the fire pit. Only note for future visitors is to bring your own drinking water (which is available at the Dollar General in town if you forget!).

About the host

Hosted by Gregory Gibbs & Caroline

Host profile image
The Gibbs family goes back to days when Blackbeard called the OBX home. In fact my family descended from Blackbeard's first mate Gibbons, who had the choice to walk the plank or to be sent ashore at Gibbs' Point. Engelhard has been home for our family since the 1600s.

Why they chose this property

This location affords you the ability to enjoy the OBX, hunting, fishing, crabbing, touring historical sites, boating, bird watching, and much more in a serene peaceful setting that is relaxing and gets you back to nature.

What makes this property unique

This property is very reasonably priced, unlike properties that are beach front. We include bed linens and towels at no additional cost. The lodge is one of the only rental properties in the area that can accommodate big/multiple families or groups. Very unique location that allows you to take advantage of everything our part of the world has to offer.
