Great little getaway!

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!

Very well kept semi-private property with nice hot tub for relaxing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend away in this very clean and well kept house. Owners are very thoughtful with all the extras from a variety of k-cups to laundry pods for convenience. Only negative thing I could possibly say is that I feel it should be listed as a guest house and clear that it's not a private house. Windows in the main area of the house as well as the hot tub can be seen from the owner's house. While it was not an issue for us it was a little bit of a shock when pulling in to find the owner's house so close and lacking privacy.

Great place for a family to relax

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.

Peaceful retreat

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.

Delightful home away from home

First time renter. Was everything I imagined it to be and then some. Very clean, roomy, very comfortable. Hot tub was a plus! Everything was labeled, didn't have to look for anything. Very quite neighborhood. Loved the screened in porch. Got to see hummingbirds right in front of us. Definitely plan on coming home I mean coming here again! Wonderful owners. Thank you Ken & Wife!

Hidden Gem!

This was our first experience with VRBO and it was NOT disappointing! The owners provided a beautifully maintained home. Extremely clean and everything was clearly labeled. They provided extras like coffee, shampoo, and dish/laundry soap that we were not expecting. So that was a very nice surprise. There were lots of games, puzzles, and movies provided as well. Everything was in working order and we had no issues. I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to booking our next visit! Thank you so much for opening up your home, Ken and Penny!

WOW What a find

The Krause House is a true gem. Ken & Penny were very helpful with any questions. We stayed 7 nights on a golf excursion to Southern Pines. House is great, nice screened in porch, great inside floor plan. Large living room with plenty of games leads to dining area & kitchen which is totally ready to cook your meals . Bedrooms are comfortable & spacious. Nice linens, super towels. Home was absolutely spotless. Felt very comfortable during this covid mess. House nicely decorated also. Saving the best for last, great grill outside along with a great deck with wonderful hot tub. Beautiful setting. You will not be disappointed.

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!
