Country getaway with all the comforts of home

My daughter and I loved this country retreat. The owners are very hospitable and accommodating and the property is beautiful. If you are lucky like I was, you may get a glimpse of some wildlife as well. Thank you for everything Katheryn and Ronnie. We hope to visit again in the future.

Family Friendly Oasis

We totally enjoyed our stay. Kathryn was so welcoming and thoughtful and made sure we had everything we would need to relax and enjoy our time in Lincolnton. Kathryn even thought of treating our dogs to make them feel at home as well! We absolutely recommend this tranquil oasis. Thanks again for sharing your place with us!!

The hosts are very friendly, very responsive. They go out of their way to make your stay nice. They are on top of repairs and things that come up to repair out of the ordinary affecting the apartment are delt with without the slightest procrastination. The apartment is very cozy and very well stocked and thought out. They really made this place a home away from home. In our case, a home for us and a place for our newborn to come home to in-between our dwellings. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect place. When they say Family Friendly Oasis, they really mean it. Kathryn, the host, went out of her way to help us extend our stay to accommadate my Wife going into labor two days before our stay ended with us missing the extend deadline. She also went well out of her way to offer us much needed items, not only for the stay, but some extra things as gifts. Very much recommend for anyone looking for a quiet cozy country getaway. Bonus if you stay during Christmas, you get an amazing goodie bag of flavored popcorn that your Wife loves and chows down on as a Christmas gift. :)

Charming and clean rental

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic VRBO rental, and it truly exceeded our expectations in every way. The owners were extremely kind and accommodating. They had everything on site you could possibly need, including dog beds! Our dogs loved these beds and chose to sleep in those over their own. The location of the rental was ideal for us. We were close to my brothers house and the venue for the wedding. While still being close to Charlotte for the NASCAR race. It is on a lovely dead end road which made it so peacefully quiet all the time. Communication with the owner was seamless, and they were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. They clearly take pride in their property and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable.

Fantastic!

This is an awesome home. I was in NC for about 2 weeks on business. I had my 2 teenage sons traveling with me, ages 15 and 17. This couldn't have been a better situation for us. The apartment is above the garage and totally separate from the main house. It's a big space with plenty of room. It has a nice deck off the back over looking the enormous property and pool which backs up to 55 acres. We were able to use the weight room and the washer/dryer in the garage. Kathryn and Ronnie are great people and property is spotless and well maintain inside and out. It's well stock with everything you need for a long or short term stay. We will be back!

I can't say enough good things about this place. The most well appointed VRBO kitchen I have ever been in. It has every type of cooking apparatus you could possibly want. I wish it had not been a 130 degrees outside and we could have enjoyed the outside a little more but I can tell you the A/C works great:) The communication was amazing. Highly recommended for a weekend getaway with the family. It is pet friendly but, you can't tell that there has ever been an animal in the place because of how clean it is.

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn R MAYHUE

Host profile image
We have 6 kids and currently 12 grandchildren. We love hosting family dinners and celebrations. I'm a retired police officer and currently work from home making custom designer cakes. I am usually home if you need help with anything.

Why they chose this property

Our home is located on a dead-end road and all the houses are on 3 acre lots. There is 55 acres of woods behind our property. You are likely to see deer, rabbits, wild turkeys, foxes, raccoons, and more. It's quiet and peaceful here. I love to sit on the front porch and enjoy the quiet.

What makes this property unique

We have a huge playground that we built for our grandkids. It's been a huge hit with family and friends. Our neighbor's children also play on occasion. It's under a tree canopy that helps keep it cool even on the hottest days. There is over 6000lbs of play sand to play in. The pool is kid friendly. Has steps that lead into a 2.5' deep shallow end. There are ledges that go the length of the pool that the smaller kids like to walk on. The deep end is only 5.5' deep. Sorry, NO diving. We also have a large coop with chickens for fresh eggs and Peafowl for entertainment.
