About this property

Charming 1930's English cottage with historic ambiance on three private acres

Quiet and convenient - parks, restaurants, Lake Wylie, Carowinds, CLT airport, I-77 and I-485 are all nearby and just twenty minutes to downtown Charlotte with lovely dining, museums and entertainment.

Serene setting where you can relax and recharge, a lovely vintage getaway while close to big city amenities.

Covered porch, screen porch, large open porch - take your pick and enjoy watching the deer pass thru in the morning or afternoon.

Inside, sunny windows beckon you to sit with a book.

And outside, yard games and a fire pit to entertain you. Towering oak trees are perfect to relax under and enjoy the shade. Snip a few vibrant summer herbs for a meal or clip rosemary and lavender to bring indoors anytime of the year.

Gated entrance opens to a long, tree-covered driveway which reveals an expansive lawn and beautiful 1930's cottage.

Our home is equipped for both long or short stays to make your holiday one to remember.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Stayed with 3 adults and we were very comfortable in the house. The location is convenient and the setting is beautiful. We're sorry we didn't get a chance to use the outdoor areas as much as we wanted to.
