The house and property were beautiful and quite accommodating. Very secluded and quiet. Would recommend this property to anyone looking to get away and have a relaxing stay.
We very much enjoyed this property. Well stocked, extremely comfortable and a hit with our 2 dogs. They loved the fenced in yard. Hope to enjoy it again as our son’s family lives in the area.
The house is beyond what I expected… Love the location and peace. Very clean, quiet, comfortable and immaculately kept. We look forward to coming here again soon.
We had a wonderful family vacation in the cottage! Everything was very comfortable and we enjoyed being able to have our furbabies with us. The home and the property were gorgeous! We will definitely look to book again! Thank you!
Me and my family had a wonderful time here this past weekend. We wanted a place near the zoo and this place was wonderful. Beautiful, clean and communication with owner was superb. Would 100% recommend!
Beautiful clean private house with big yard and fenced in back yard for dog. We loved it and will absolutely stay again on our next trip to the area! Joe
Just as described and we would definitely stay here again! It was convenient to Seagrove which was what we were looking for in a rental. We only there for a very short stay, but hope to be back for a longer one. My only suggestion would be to make the kids room with a lower bed.
Wonderful home, comfortable relaxing area, generously furnished. Close enough to town and attractions. We would recommend this home for anyone to stay. Pet friendly large fenced in back yard and plenty of open fields to walk our dog. We will be using it again if available in the future.
We loved staying at this cottage. Plenty of wow factor with all the character of the house. The house had no issues, super clean & comfortable. Our 2 dogs had no reaction to the house that any other dogs were ever in it, they were as calm as being at home, no other pet scents left behind. I chose this cottage because of its close proximity to the zoo & pottery shops. We traveled over 500 mi. from Pennsylvania, & it was worth the trip & the dogs loved it too. Thank you, sincerely, Scott C.
Our stay was wonderful. We all had a great time and made lots of beautiful memories. We will never forget our wonderful experience in this cottage. This is a great place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you.
My husband and I stayed in this beautiful house for a week. Everything was immaculate and comfortable. The property is private and well maintained. The host is very easy to communicate with, too!
We will be returning in the fall.
The cottage is beautiful! We loved the porches in the mornings and evenings. And the location is great…so many things to do within a short drive. Plus, our dog LOVED the yard! We highly recommend this cottage
We were looking for somewhere near the zoo and mountain biking trails in the Uwharries. This ended up being the perfect location. The kids loved having the woods out back to roam around and we all loved the seclusion. The cabin was clean and well stocked. We would definitely stay here again.
This cottage was perfect for our short stay. Private, quiet and plenty of space. We found everything we needed. We enjoyed the comfortable back porch with the fire pit table. Our dog loved the fenced in back yard.
We were visiting family with our dog. This house was a perfect home base. Lots of places to walk to exercise our dog , then she’d sleep soundly by the fire place.
We also went to Southern Supreme fruit cake, seagrove and Star Works .
The home itself is very comfortable, well appointed and has everything that you expect to have. Very clean, comfortable beds and everything works! We look forward to staying here again on our next visit!
The cabin is lovely and well appointed. Quiet and convenient to Uwharrie trails, which was main reason for our stay. The grounds are nice for games, porch sitting, grilling. Everything one needs for private getaway, family, friend group. Thank you so much for the memories!
This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. It was extremely clean and well stocked, as well as comfortable. The huge yard was great for our pup and we had more than enough room to relax. The host communicated well and even checked to make sure everything was ok. We would definitely recommend this home!
The house is a delightful place in a great location. It had everything we needed while my son attended life at the zoo camp at the NC Zoo. I especially appreciated the coffee bar and comfortable couches while I worked a few days during our stay. We were very happy to be able to bring our dog. She enjoyed being able to watch the birds and squirrels out of the very large windows. We would definitely stay there again any time we need to be in the area.

What makes this property unique
Our cottage is located on property that has seen 5 generations of family ownership. The property was first acquired for subsistence farming in the late 19th century. It rests at the base of the Uwharrie Mountains, home of the first gold rush in the United States. A vein of white flint rock crosses the property where one may see a quartz crystal or fool's gold on a daily walk.
