We were in town visiting family and just needed a small place to stay for the 2 of us and our dog. We loved the location of this little cottage. The greenway route goes in front of the property, awesome if you ride bikes or like to walk. The river front park is a short walk and there is a kayak rental business for anyone that wants to paddle the Tar River. We didn't stay inside much because we like to explore the area, so many cool places within a mile or two walk. The view from the bed was wonderful watching the birds at the feeder and the river, you would hardly know you were in the city. It was really quiet on our visit, but I could see that may be different on a game day weekend. Marc does warn of this in his description, because it is a college town neighborhood. Marc was a great host and communicated well about check in details. The cottage had everything we needed and the bed was very comfortable. We really appreciate it being dog friendly and Reedy says thanks for the treats you left him. We would love to stay here again when in the area. Next time we will bring our bikes/kayaks. Thanks Marc, we enjoyed meeting you and your boo.
