It was very comfortable for our long weekend. Plenty of cookware. The house is on a nice quiet street. It was very convenient to the Sports Complex and restaurants. Oh...and an ice maker is a definite plus, for me anyway! Kim was very responsive and made check in and out easy! We will definitely stay again next time we're in Matthews, NC.

My family and I spent a few nights here while exploring the Charlotte area. The house was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet, but was within walking distance to downtown Matthews, which was such a cute vibrant little town. We would recommend this house and would certainly stay there again.

While I had high hopes for staying near my family for Christmas, I was happy when I searched with a filter, 1-guest traveling with 1- pet found me this VRBO house. I was not happy with the filthy interior, not fresh painted walls, not new flooring, not new linens, or cleanliness at all. Spiders and cob-webs in every room, floors taped with packing tape, dresser drawers taped together with packing tape, dirty furniture to sit on. The yard is full of limbs and a foot of leaves. Not safe for dogs.

My wife and I had an exceptional time at this lovely property!The house is delightful. Clean as a whistle, well maintained, and exceedingly comfortable. The decor makes you feel like you're staying in a groovy retro oasis. Of particular note are the beds. We debated whether they were more comfortable than ours back home!Matthews itself was a wonderful surprise, too! Don't discount the food and drinks the town has to offer just because Charlotte is nearby. Brakeman's Coffee in particular is worth a visit or three.Thanks to Kim for being professional, purposeful, and thorough through our entire stay. We would be ecstatic to stay here again if and when we return to the Charlotte area!

A relaxing visit in the quaint town of Mathews.

Loved the convenience of being within walking distance to everything and our pets also enjoyed it! The house is in a great tree covered neighborhood and plenty of things to do and also close enough to the big city.

Wonderful place to stay!

Cozy but also spacious! Owner was very easy to get in touch with (not that we had many questions) neighbors were really friendly and we were super close to Charlotte as well as downtown Matthews. Everything we needed was in the house. Super comfortable stay and the house was really cute!

Cute and close to everything

Adorable cottage in the woods but close to everything. The beds are comfortable, towels are fluffy and check in was a breeze. Matthews Station is 3 minutes away and where we hung out with our friends. Fun restaurants and bars plus a great place for breakfast. Weill stay here again the next time we come into town. Would love to see the farmers market in town next time!

Even nicer inside than the photos, and on a quiet street with lots of trees. We enjoyed being able to walk to the downtown area for coffee or lunch. We enjoyed our stay and the chance to meet our host!
