Great Home

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is as listed, and felt even more spacious once inside. We really appreciated the communication of the owners. They really went an extra mile to ensure we had a great time--- the epitomy of hospitality! The neighborhood is lovely. We saw a lot of people walking around, enjoying the local park, and you're just minutes from shopping. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Lovely hosts and a great home.

Lovely and convenient guesthouse

I enjoyed my week-long stay at the Lorimer Guesthouse. The house was spacious and comfortable and located very conveniently near the beltline/I-440. I will stay there again whenever I need a place in the area!

Great spot

We enjoyed our stay at your property. Loved the quiet neighborhood and convenient location to NC State for Family Weekend and football game. A quick note that the front screen door knob was jammed. Would love to stay there again. Do you have availability for three nights on May 2-4?
