One of our favorite vacation rentals! The owners added so many personal touches to make sure that their guests were comfortable. We had snacks and keurig pods in the kitchen; toppers on the beds; three separate sleep spaces; and a washer, dryer, and dishwasher. Everything had been remodeled and there were plenty of outlets for our electronic devices. Billie and John were friendly and helpful. We hope to return!

excellent property, better than advertised.

This is an excellent place to stay. it was very neat, clean and comfortable. But one of the nicest things about it were all the little extras the host has made available. like snacks and a large array of toiletries etc. Seems like little things but to someone who traveled a lot in his career the " the little things mean a lot" when you are away from home.

My husband and I and our dog had a wonderful stay over Christmas. The house was clean and comfortable and exceeded our expectations! The house was equipped with everything we needed plus lots of unexpected extras. The house has a lot of history, and we enjoyed learning about it from our friendly hosts.

Great place, great hosts!

We arrived during the time of Hurricane Helene. our hosts Billie and John went out of their way to notify us that there was no power. They even waited for us to arrive due to the dark roads. They checked in with us daily to make sure we were ok as all cell and internet was out for the week following the storm. They were very welcoming of ourselves and our dogs!
