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!

Great place and location

This is a well-presented house and the location is great. I was able to walk into Mathews for food and coffee. The host was very responsive to last-minute needs. The place was clean and well-equipped, except missing a spatula for the frying pan, which the host had sent several over right away. This is a somewhat quirky house, as many of these are, with ample closets in one room but not in the master bedroom, but we enjoyed cooking and dining with family. I recommend this place.

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!

Nice Neighborhood walking distance to downtown

We enjoyed our stay in this sweet house and walking to downtown. Keep an eye on your VRBO messages. The host will send messages and updates there. (We had requested a late check out that the host initially informed us was not available, but later messaged to update us that it was possible after all :))

Cute home in nice neighborhood

Nicely equipped home for our 3 day stay. Kitchen had plenty of utensils for food preparation. Plenty of towels and blankets which was nice because the weather was chilly. The children really enjoyed the trundle bed, it was a novelty to them
