About the host
Hosted by Merianne Byers
I currently live in Florida - but my son and his family are in NC - and I visit often.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with this house - it's definitely a "work in progress". Part of the charm of an old house (built in 1929) is there is always something to do.
What makes this property unique
My favorite part of the house is the front porch - I love sitting out there. The railing on the porch slides open/closed - so it's safe for kids and pets, and there is a fenced in back-yard as well. Please make sure to check the guest book on the coffee table in the living room for house rules, and check-out instructions.
