Very comfortable and homey

At one time there were about 15 adults and 2 kids visiting us. Plenty of room. Love the open concept of the home. My sister uses a walker to get around, plenty of room for her to move around with ease. If we are back in the area and need a home to stay we will contact you. Thanks again.

Had a good stay

Property was as listed and expected. The kids had a blast and loved the games provided by the host. Had a small issue with entry keypad batteries when we arrived but the owner was very easy to reach and got back to me right away. Everything needed to insure a good and clean stay was provided such as broom, mop, and cleaning clothes (these items are normally locked away in NC). Neighborhood was not top notch but we never felt unsafe and we were never personally bothered by anyone. Will be staying here again on our next visit.
