About this property

The Guest House Charlotte ♚ Historic Uptown Charlotte

A picturesque walk to Panthers Stadium from Uptown Charlotte's most charming historic neighborhood, The Guest House is clean, safe, pet-friendly, and lovingly hosted by the on-site homeowner. Spacious and stylish with striking skyline views, abundant natural light, and enjoyable outdoor spaces. Sleeps up to 8 adults with 2 semi-private bedrooms, 1.5 baths, cook’s kitchen, a tranquil veranda, and thoughtfully luxurious amenities. Super-fast, reliable WiFi and 3 TVs with premium cable/streaming.

This stylish, spotless, and spacious 2-story townhome is over 1100 square feet, furnished for up to 8 adults and 2 little ones, and features a secluded, tranquil screened porch that we call "The Veranda." The charming bistro table in the front yard is perfect for relaxing while watching the horse-drawn carriages saunter thru the neighborhood.

The first floor features hardwood floors with a living room that offers a 55" UHDTV equipped with premium streaming & cable, iPod dock/radio, and various touches that make it a warm gathering space. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped featuring stainless appliances, essential cooking tools and ingredients, a large table that seats up to eight, and plates, bowls, serving dishes, baby/child-friendly dishware, and glassware.

On the carpeted second floor, you'll find vaulted ceilings with amazing views of the Uptown skyline. This huge space becomes two semi-private bedrooms when the pocket doors are closed and features a walk-in closet, privacy screens, and a desk. In each of the 2 bedrooms, you'll find a queen bed with luxury memory foam mattresses. In the back bedroom, there's also a trundle bed (2 singles). Ample floor space on both floors means plenty of room for the 4 single air mattresses. Be sure to take a look at the 2nd floor layout in my photo gallery.

The chic half-bath on the first floor features a washer/dryer and iron/ironing board as well as laundry supplies. The full bath on the second floor offers a large seated shower (no bathtub), handheld shower head, in-shower shaving mirror, blow dryer, and high-quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, toothpaste (and toothbrushes in case you forgot yours!), sewing kit, shower cap, cotton swabs, air freshener, and a first aid kit.

Recently upgraded with gorgeous cell window shades including blackouts in the bedrooms!

The Guest House is equipped for your little ones: highchairs, booster seats, Pack N Play cribs, changing table, baby monitor, baby bath, stair gate, and much more. Please let me know when you make the reservation whether you need these items placed out for you!

Although The Guest House does not have a fenced yard for your furry friends, there's a large park just across the street and a dog park less than 1 mile away.

GUEST ACCESS

The Guest House offers self check-in. You'll have the entire home and may come and go as you please.

Unfortunately, the City of Charlotte recently changed its parking policies and permit costs and I have no choice but to pass these costs on to my guests - even my visiting family members!

Parking in Fourth Ward is on-street only and requires a temporary daily permit at $12.00 per day. If you are traveling with a vehicle, please provide your license plate number and state as well as vehicle make at the time of booking. After you check in, I will issue a request so that I may recover the cost of the permits that I purchase on your behalf.

In The Guest House's detailed Welcome Book (available here as well as in a print version inside the home), I provide a map detailing the neighborhood's on-street parking spaces as well as parking lots/garages within 4 blocks.

ACCESSIBILITY

One of the nicest features about this home is that the first floor – which offers a half-bath and sleeper sofa - is wheelchair accessible. The home's main entry offers both stairs and a ramp.


OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

Non-refundable pet fee of $50 each.

I provide starter supplies of coffee, assorted teas, cold filtered water, and many other items such as condiments, paper products, personal care products, and cleaning products. If you need anything more, please don't hesitate to ask. I keep a supply of things like toothbrushes, razors, and deodorant in case my guests forget to pack their own. I'm also happy to pre-stock The Guest House with anything else you require or desire.

Laura’s place is wonderful. Talk about everything and anything you need in one home. We went with two small kids and they loved it. We walked around the city, which was walking distance from her house, and had a blast. You could literally just come into the home with nothing and have everything ya needed. Will stay again next year on our way to Hilton head!

Wonderful host. Provided many amenities including fully equipped kitchen, complimentary snacks, toiletries, etc. Nice cozy, traditional, homey and comfortable place but not luxurious.

Loved walking around the neighborhood. We were there in February and none of the fountains were running but the yards and parks were still beautiful. Would love to see it in the spring. House was the best supplied house I have ever stayed at. Comfortable beds and very clean

Perfect spot for attending events at the Spectrum Center or Panthers Stadium. Its a short 15 min walk to Spectrum. Several restaurants and bars nearby. The house is very clean, extremely well stocked, and the beds are comfortable. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Laura

Host profile image
A Charlotte resident for nearly 2 decades and a world traveler for much longer, I thoroughly enjoy hosting travelers from around the world and I try very hard to offer an exceptional experience: the comfort and convenience of a "real" home enhanced by the thoughtful amenities that one usually only finds in 5-star hotels. It's what I want when I travel, and I'm privileged to be in a position to provide it to others.

Why they chose this property

Your home away from home is equal parts prestige hotel and residence inn. From Uptown's entertainments to rafting at the US National Whitewater Center, from family-friendly restaurants to pubs and fine dining, from walks in Uptown's many parks to hip clubs, Charlotte has something for everyone.

What makes this property unique

This is Charlotte's best location and The Guest House's furnishings and amenities mean you will wish for nothing during your stay. From luxury linens and robes/slippers to personal care products, from snacks to beverages/mixers, and everything in between, The Guest House has been described by previous guests as a "quirky gem" in Charlotte's charmingly historic Fourth Ward.

This is the only property in Uptown Charlotte that can comfortably fit up to 8 people - each having their own bed or air mattress - and everything you need for infants and toddlers if little ones are traveling with you.

A bit of trivia: The Showtime series Homeland filmed in this neighborhood for 3 years (you might recognize the brick townhomes across the street) and in fact Claire Danes filmed a scene in the great room of the main house!
