We had a very nice stay. The property is very quiet and peaceful. The backyard with hot tub was a very comfortable retreat. Our dog enjoyed the backyard, but be aware the property is not fenced in, but is surrounded by mature trees, and shrubs. The house is located 20 minutes from restaurants, Fort Bragg, and stunning golf course courses. The airport is about 40 minutes away. The hosts occupying an adjoining property and were very helpful and attentive to all our questions and needs. Just about everything you need can be found in a cabinet, on a shelf or in a closet. If you’re looking for a peaceful family friendly house on a beautiful piece of property set back against the pines this is the one for you.
Excellent location, clean, comfortable and a great place to relax.

We were doing work on our home and stayed here for the location. It was super clean and nice to be able to hang out in the backyard - using the grill and hot tub was awesome! Will stay again next time we do work on our house!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and that the cleanliness stood out—we take a lot of pride in keeping the house spotless for our guests. We'd love to welcome you back anytime you're in the area!
Property was as advertised. It was in a secluded and quiet area. Close enough to town to get thing but far enough to be by yourself. Check in/out was easy and the property had just about everything we needed. We were not able to enjoy the outside area due to weather but it looked wonderful. I would recommend this property and would stay there again when I. The area.

We really try to respond quickly, so that is wonderful to hear! We would love to have you back.
This was a perfect place for my family to gather with our soldier son. The house feels very homey. They thought of everything including labels so you dont have to hunt for the right light switch or cabinet. The property is spacious enough for a lot of activities with a lot of privacy. I will book this again in the future.

We stayed for a long weekend it was such a beautiful property and immaculate. I would give 10 stars for cleanliness. The owners live on property and were so nice to communicate with. The hot tub was a nice added benefit along with a large firepit in the backyard. Very peaceful property would definately book again and hope to in the future. It is well stocked with everything you could need.

We had a busy yet enjoyable weekend in Vass! The Krause house was our home located in a different location than where we live. The hot tub was Absolutely Amazing after a busy day. Thank you very much for your warm hospitality! We wish you health and safety!

About the host
Hosted by Ken and Penny Krause
My wife and I have lived here for 17 years and love the home we created. Penny loves seeing, quilting, and crafting, and I love working and building. We both come by hosting naturally as we managed a hotel way back in the day!
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it is quiet and feels semi remote while still being a 10 minute drive to the grocery store.
What makes this property unique
Our property has a gorgeous front and backyard which we love! Plenty of room to listen to nature, lay in the sun, or bird watch. Such a peaceful spot!
