About Patricia Taverner-Peck
I am originally from the UK, but have now made Winston-Salem my home where I find all the things I most enjoy: history in Old Salem (which reminds me of an English country village), the arts - great theaters, galleries, UNCSA and Reynolda House; super restaurants and bakeries catering for all tastes (some of my favorites are The Tavern in Old Salem, The West End Cafe and Mozelle's); wonderful trees and flowers and countryside; super friendly people; trips to wineries, state parks, skiing all within a couple of hours, and easy road trips further afield to the coast or other cities and states. I hope you will enjoy staying in my beautiful, sunny house ... I have tried to think of all that I would like to find in a vacation rental. I lived in West Salem when I first moved to Winston-Salem, and thoroughly enjoyed the area, walking my dogs in Old Salem and Washington Park, making my way downtown on the lovely, shady Strollway, enjoying the arts at UNCSA, and visiting all the nearby coffee shops and restaurants.

Why Patricia Taverner-Peck chose Winston-Salem
I lived in this beautiful house for a few months when I first moved to Winston-Salem and fell in love with the area being so close to Old Salem, downtown and some great parks. It is a super cute house, very stylishly renovated and has a very welcoming, comfortable vibe.
What makes this House unique
I love to sit on the front porch with a book and enjoy the breeze, and in the summer the flowering crape myrtle trees are quite lovely.
