We had a wonderful stay and would definitely book this home again! The host was incredibly responsive and communicated everything clearly before and during our stay, making the entire process stress-free. Check-in and check-out were simple and seamless.The house was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was thoughtfully stocked with plenty of amenities, which made it feel like a home away from home. The location was another huge plus—just a short drive to downtown with easy access to restaurants, shopping, and other conveniences. The backyard area is a private fenced in spot with a cute little patio set and a separate fire pit area for hanging oht with friends or family. The home is pet friendly but we had no issues with finding pet hair or other messes. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located place to stay!

Ashley, you are too kind! We were thrilled to hear that you had such a good time and enjoyed the home with its amenities and location. That is exactly the experience we were hoping to provide! Thank you again for staying with us and we will look forward to seeing you again! :)
Great house. It was clean, had a stocked coffee station, close to downtown Davidson. Natalie was a great host. She checked in with us to make sure everything was okay and to see if anything was needed. I would recommend this property for sure!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us Jennifer! Thank you so very much for being a wonderful guest!!
The property is immaculate and fairly new. Beds are comfortable and everything is very clean. As others mentioned, despite being dog friendly there are no signs of wear from other dogs. Everything is spotless.There are a bunch of great touches throughout the house and everything you could need is provided. The house had a nice fenced in area and small fire pit. Communication with the owner was fantastic and she was very responsive.The location is close to Davidson but I'm surprised others haven't noted the following yet: First, it's about a 20 min walk to downtown, not 10. Second, a few of the neighboring homes are eyesores and one had multiple run down cars parked in front of our house our entire stay and on the neighboring lawn etc.I know this isn't the owners fault but something to just be noted. The house was FANTASTIC and the owner was incredible but I think in hindsight we would have stayed in a different location in town.

Thanks so much Jonathan! We are so glad you enjoyed the house! That's interesting about the neighbors. We've not seen that yet and no one has mentioned it. I'm sorry that occurred while you were there. And for what its worth, it is about an 11 minute walk from this home to the beginning of downtown Davidson. Of course if you want to walk further into town it does take longer. Thank you!
We had a great stay in Davidson. It’s a beautiful little town. The house was great. Walking distance to a wonderful park for kids. The host was great, home was well stocked.
The adult grandchildren were so happy with the home and we had the best time playing air hockey with our great grandson. The playgrounds in the area were amazing. Fire pit in the yard was a great touch
Excellent Stay! Home was very clean, super cute and beds were very comfortable. Nice outdoor area with seating. Fire pit area with lights- overall very charming. Manager was quick to respond and they were kind enough to accommodate an extra hour to check out since my flight timing was later in day, very much appreciated.
Comfortable well stocked home in a cute little town. My husband and I stayed for a weekend with our daughter’s family (including a 3 year old granddaughter). The property was clean and well maintained. The game room was a hit with the adults and the kiddo. Park was a short walk and downtown Davidson was charming. The host’s communications were clear and timely. Very enjoyable stay!
Very beautiful, quiet, convenient to our needs. All the amenities we could ask for. Plenty of towels!! We had fun playing the arcade game and air hockey. Will definitely keep this one in mind when we are in the area again!
Had family in for a quick weekend visit and everyone agreed that we’d happily book this space again. It was very clean, recently renovated, and close to everything we needed in Davidson. The host is very responsive and helpful, and we were treated as true guests. I’d definitely recommend.
The house was perfect for what we needed! Natalie was great with communication, and the fenced yard was perfect for our pup!

Thank you so much Shannon! That really means a lot to us to hear that the house was perfect for you and your family and that your fur baby enjoyed it! :)
What a fabulous find! We stayed here for 2 nights and it was just as described, clean, modern, well equipped with a lovely and responsive host. A short walk to Davidson College campus and the town restaurants. Very quiet home. It's an ideal place for any Davidson College parents coming for move in/move out weekends or graduation. Very pleased with the visit. I had to work whilst there and the wifi was strong! Thank you!
