The Whole Hunsucker's Whole House

Welcome to The Whole Hunsuckers – A Perfect Group Getaway in Greensboro, NC

This listing is the combined listing of Hunsucker’s Place and the Urban Birdhouse Tiny Home, offering two unique homes on the same property for a seamless group stay. Located in the heart of Greensboro’s vibrant Idlewood neighborhood, The Whole Hunsucker's offers an unparalleled experience for families, friends, or groups seeking comfort, connection, and convenience. With two thoughtfully curated spaces, this property is ideal for both short visits and extended stays.

About The Whole Hunsucker's

The Whole Hunsucker's combines two unique homes:

Hunsucker’s Place: A revitalized 1942 cottage featuring two main-floor bedrooms (dedicated to Logan and Larson) and a third bedroom in the walk-up attic (dedicated to Landon) with two twin daybeds. The home also includes a piano, dining and living rooms, and plenty of space for relaxing or hosting conversations. The honeycomb tile in the kitchen floor, backsplash, and bathroom floor is a nod to the Hunsucker bees, from which Eric and his dad harvest honey to share with friends when available. Eric is a pianist and frequently performs in memory care facilities, local venues, and annual ALS fundraisers. Guests are welcome to play the piano during their stay and check out the calendar of events to see when and where Eric will play next.

Urban Birdhouse Tiny Home: A thoughtfully designed tiny house with a sleeping loft featuring a queen-sized memory foam mattress, a kitchenette with a microwave convection oven, hot plate, and compact refrigerator, and a small deck.

NCAT Trip via the Hunsuckers!

I traveled here with family to see my nephew marching in the BGMM, and boy were we pleased with our stay! Just searching this listing, I was attracted to the uniqueness of the property and its proximity to the campus. I was immediately drawn to the urban birdhouse available with the rental. When we arrived, we settled in and of all people my Mom opted to stay in the tiny house in the backyard, which worked perfectly for her - especially having no competition for the bathroom ;-) In the main house, the other two generations of us hung out and talked deep into the night; my nephews would occupy themselves upstairs either reading or playing video games on the TV. Everything was so easy to find - and there was a wine key (which we forgot to travel with when we decided to have wine with dinner the first night!). In sum, my family and I truly enjoyed our time at the Whole Hunsuckers and highly recommend it to anyone looking to rent in the area (especially if you’re looking to be near the NCAT campus)!!
