Family Getaway
Our 5 night stay was perfect in every way for us - retired parents with 2 young adult daughters and husbands. The house was spacious enough and in a great, quiet location to walk throughout town, with easy parking. It was a bonus that we had such close access to Culp’s Hill! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Amazing house!
We enjoyed our stay at this home. Beautiful house and property. We enjoyed the outdoor seating in the front and back of the house. We loved your little surprises you left, i.e., coffee beans, fresh farm eggs, Carmel and plain popcorn for us to enjoy. The house was fully stocked with all appliances, sheets , towels, etc. It's also a perfect location to walk to so many restaurants and places to see. Tucked in between 2 churches. We'd definitely come back if we're in that area again. Thanks for sharing your home with us!! The Graves and Costro 's Marine Reunion '24

Communication problems
Would have been 5 star if we didn't have to wait a half hour to get into the house, owner telling me they sent info but did not and responding to me in a not so professional way. My son was with us and he is a guidance system programmer and assured me that it was on the owners end otherwise it would have been great.
