After driving several hours, we arrived tired and stressed. The cottage welcomed us with it's peaceful setting and beautiful flower gardens. Susan was there to meet us and answer all our questions.We were later joined by our two children who live and work in the area. It was a great place to relax and enjoy being together. The town of Pinehurst is lovely and we enjoyed walking and driving around exploring. We hope to get back to Arundel some day. Thank you Susan and David for a great visit!Recommended for: Age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for staying with us! We do hope you come back!

Our family headed to North Carolina to meet our daughter who was returning from Afghanistan. It was the first Christmas we ever spent away from our own home and the Arundel Cottage was PERFECT! Our son and daughter in law joined us as well and we spent one of the happiest Christmases ever in this charming home. Susan did everything to make sure our needs were met. The fireplace created a cozy Christmas morning and the hot tub was awesome. So many fun games and large kitchen to bake and cook our holiday food! Would highly recommend it to all.

Owner response: Thanks! Happy New Year to all! Hope to have you all back again!

THANKS for our stay at Arundel Cottage! It's such a lovely old place, clean, well maintained, SO comfortable; we found everything we needed and more. The cottage is nicely furnished with many antique pieces, and other charming bits of decor. Plenty of living & dining space, with a well appointed kitchen, and morning coffee on the front porch was sweet! The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet and peaceful, just the singing of birds in the great garden. A short walk and you're in Pinehurst, which is so pretty it looks like something out of the land of make-believe, with great places to eat and shop. The surrounding countryside is very scenic, and we found some great bargains in local antique shops. The owners are LOVELY folks to deal with, so nice, and helpful in every way. We hope to return in the future, and give Arundel Garden Cottage a big thumbs up!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you so much! We look forward to having you back!

Lovely quiet street in Pinehurst. Beautiful gardens. Hot tub is a nice bonus. Quaint, historic cottage. On shaded gravel walking trails. Short walk to downtown Pinehurst with coffee shops/library/shopping etc. Great cycling which is what we went for but also nice for golf I hear :-) . Only downside is that kitchen is small and utensils/pots are limited. Great value and we would definitely stay there again.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks Chris, Glad you enjoyed your stay! I took inventory of the kitchen pantry and some of the utensils and cookware ended up over at Cardinal House next door during a family reunion using both homes. So sorry about that. I would have replaced them had I known. I've restocked the kitchen for our future guests. Next time just let me know if you are in need of anything and I can get right on it. Enjoy your summer and we hope to see ya'all again!

If you love golf, a visit to Pinehurst, NC is a must. If you love Pinehurst, a stay at Arundel Garden Cottage is a must. It is a giant step-back in time with antiquated features and this is not necessarily a bad thing. It reminded us of a cottage in England perhaps. From the cozy warmth of each individual room, to the many up-to- date amenities, to the English lace curtains to the golf clubs used as curtain rods, truly a home away from home. Hot tub, foosball table, horseshoes, every game you could ever want to play, jigsaw puzzles, at least a 42" flat screen TV, DVDs, books galore, great stereo system all add to the charm of this cottage. Within walking distance to historical Pinehurst and in a quiet, fancy-free, kick-your-feet-up neighborhood. Beautiful setting among herbal gardens and intriguing water fountains. Dugan's Restaurant was wonderful and a visit to Pinehurst #2 a must-see, especially if you're a Payne Stewart fan, as we all are. The Pinehurst Resort also takes you back in time as did the Arundel Garden Cottage. Thank you Susan. We enjoyed meeting you and enjoyed our stay.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

What a quaint location to have a friend's reunion. We appreciated Susan's willingness to accomodate our group and to give us helpful suggestions as to places to eat and things to do. We had plenty of space, the gardens were lovely and the kitchen great to have. Pinehurst is a lovely location for a weekend.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We spent Thanksgiving week 2009 with our family at the Arundel Cottage, It was perfect for our small group. I have been coming to Pinehurst for 25 years and my wife for 10 years but the balance of the group were new to Pinehurst. The cottage was a great setup for 3 couples and our grandaughter, very spacious inside and plenty of things to do outside for a 2 year old. The Raffs were nice enough to provide a swing for her. Access to the Village was a plus. Would recommend for a small group . A very enjoyable week!!!!!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Charming, welcoming, and comfortable decor! Friendly, caring owners that are flexible and know Pinehurst from a local's perspective! Perfect stay place for my entire family. Everything we needed for a week''s stay, fully furnished kitchen, games, piano, card table, and TV/DVD and the hot tub was great after a long day. Forget the hotels, and try Arundel Garden Cottage!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Location
Owner info
Year Purchased: 1983
About the owner: David and I moved to Pinehurst in 1983. We liked it so much that we decided to make it our permanent home. We raised our family here and even after being empty nesters we continue to enjoy the charm and friendliness of our unique community! We wouldn't live anywhere else!
Why the Owner Chose Pinehurst:
Dave and I were lucky enough to find and purchase Arundel Cottage as our first home. Over the years we renovated, landscaped and restored it’s "Olde Town" charm. In 1996 we built a new house, "Cardinal House", on the adjacent lot. We then furnished and equipped Arundel as an affordable vacation rental home for travelers wanting to experience the Sandhills region of Central North Carolina. We have since managed and maintained the home ourselves with our quests comfort and convenience in mind. We have thoroughly enjoyed sharing our unique cottage over the years. We have made many new friends. Some of our guests find they don't want to leave and continue to return year after year. We have built another new home "Par 3" where we now reside and "Cardinal House" is also now a vacation home as well.
