About the host
Hosted by Andrea DeGette
I am an artist and educator originally from Colorado and have been here in Hillsborough since 1994. I raised my three children and many loved pets in this incredible town! I love gardening, hiking, and traveling!
Why they chose this property
We love our little haven in the heart of Historic Hillsborough. There are walking paths along the Eno River, shops, restaurants, live music, comedy, and lots of history out the back door. It has been like living in the country in town these past many years. Hundreds of years trees are around and flowers and beauty in all seasons! A perfect get-away awaits here at Lunarose Cottage.
What makes this property unique
The property is filled with history with beaded board, old-growth heart pine flooring throughout, and fine fabrics and furnishings combine for cozy elegance all year round. You can pamper yourself with a soak in the deep tub, or watch the world go by with your feet up on the front porch. This very special place is surrounded by gardens and a short walk to downtown or West Hillsborough.
