Comment from our Guestbook at the house: "Can heaven be much further away???? What luck to find your beautiful hide-away. Everything so tasteful and accommodating. I bought my paints and my dog, Lucy. I felt great creative energy and Lucy loved her escape to the wild. You must have the best view of anyone in NC! I certainly hope to come again.
