50s House

This house is very charming and clean. Anita is a great host and I will plan to stay there again. It is a perfect halfway point when we go to the beach and much easier with our dog than a hotel. I absolutely recommend it.

A Must See!

My family of three stayed here for two days. This home is beautifully decorated and will take you back in time to the 1950’s. There are two full-sized bathrooms on the first floor, a large kitchen, and enough space to accommodate 10 people to eat in 3 different rooms. We made homemade quiche for breakfast and the appliances worked great! The living room is spacious with plenty of seating and we enjoyed relaxing and watching movies. We ate at Moe’s Pizza one night. It’s very close to this home and the food is delicious! This guest house is perfect for families and would be a great location for a girls’ getaway weekend.

From far away…

We were in town for a funeral all the way from Colorado. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood and close to businesses you may need during your stay or remote enough to enjoy a peaceful getaway. House was very comfortable and had everything you needed. Host was responsive & accommodating.

Nice, clean country cottage

Anita was very helpful and answered all questions immediately. House is in a nice country setting and has some nice amenities (fire pit, BBQ, cool lower deck overlooking woods, and more). Our 10 year old loved the complementary brownies and soda! Clean and comfortable place.

1951 High School Reunion

Attended the Northfork class of 51 reunion @ Pipestem so the cottage was perfect for the occasion! Beautifully decorated quaint, quiet home with a lovely host just a phone call away. The outdoor kitties were a plus! We highly recommend this property!

Wonderful stay at a beautiful property

The check in process was very easy, the house was clean. The host replied to our messages promptly. There were two cute cats on the back porch when we woke up, which was a nice surprise. I would certainly recommend this house.

We loved Back to the 50s!

Everything about this guest house was wonderful. It was clean as a pin and equipped with everything we needed. Plenty of towels, soaps, etc, and all the appliances were in perfect working order. The yard was lovely and a great place to walk. The backporch was our favorite and we're still talking about sitting back there enjoying the landscape. Our host was available, but we didn't need to call on her as everything was so well put together. We will go back.

Weekend trip

It was a clean house on a quiet street close to Concord University. Peaceful setting. Short drive to Princeton when we wanted to eat out or shop. We had activities at the university so it was nice and close. House is as listed, older but very nice and a great place to relax and get away. Beautiful area.
