Thank you for staying with us. Yes! We are very proud of our rural location.

Engelhard Harbor, boat ramps, Pamlico Sound are 1/4 mile. Restaurants within a mile. [Martelle's, Sugar and Spice, H&L, Far Creek... many more I. Fairfield.

It was a very nice house. We really enjoyed having plenty of room for everyone. It is an old house, so there's plenty of character to make the house interesting. It's about an hour away from the "big" stuff, but great for wildlife viewing. Our kids loved catching frogs and toads in the yard and petting the horses especially!

Pros: Pretty country setting, easy check in and check out, good communication with owners, friendly neighborhood dog, lots of room for big families, well stocked with games. Cons: Couldn’t be outside at night to enjoy the fire pit because of the mosquitoes. BRING BUG SPRAY! Hot water heater makes using the downstairs bathroom or tub impossible, they never get warm. Front screen door handle falls off every time you open it. Nice overall house, old farm house with quarks. Quiet location outside of the beach, easy daily drive to Nags Head.

So happy you stayed with us. You are the only group that has complained about the hot water heater. When you have a group of 12..... kind of hard to have enough hot water for everyone on demand. We have no control over mosquitos. We are a rural location... love the peace and quiet. Closest grocery store is a 20 minute drive to Swan Quarter. Dollar General is 1/4 mile for staples and snacks. Thank you for choosing our lodge.

Home away from home

Great spot to just get away in the country. Quiet, small town that has lots of little fishing holes and excellent crabbing. Just a hours drive into town and beaches.

Perfect clean home for your ENC getaway

We came down for a hunting trip and this property was great. Great area in Engelhard, ample beds, spotless on the inside, fully equipped kitchen and so much more. The owners made us feel at home and communication was great with some spot on recommendations.

Nice for a large group, We had plenty of room for our family of 7. The house was clean and comfy. Roanoke island/Nags Head is about an hour away. The plus side to that is that it’s very quiet with no traffic congestion. The negative is that larger grocery stores are a bit of a drive.

Thank you for staying with us! Yes, small grocery store is 20 minutes and Dollar General is 1/2 mile. Our cows and horses are fenced in and about a 100 feet out the front door. Very proud of our location. :)
