Fram's Place--a convenient, peaceful, private escape in the foothills!
Take a break and unwind at this peaceful oasis. This home is a relatively new build in a completely private location. Spend the afternoon rocking on the porch (you might be joined by the resident kitty cats!) and the evening roasting marshmallows at the fire pit for s’mores! There are two TVs for your enjoyment. You're only 25 miles from Boone and the High Country and just moments from local shopping, attractions, and restaurants at this residence! You're in the right location for Merlefest, Faithfest, and NASCAR's North Wilkesboro Speedway! This 1100 square for home is a 3BR/2BA that will sleep up to six. Two bedrooms have double beds, and the third one has a twin daybed with a twin trundle. The washer and dryer are available. A s'mores kit and complimentary hot beverage selections will greet you in the fully stocked kitchen, and there's a bucket of firewood and kindling for the fire pit. The fire pit also has a grill grate so you can even cook outdoors. The bench beside the birdhouse converts into a picnic table. You can swing some lazy hours away on the nearby porch swing. You will have access to the entire house and yard. Plenty of parking is available.

My family enjoyed staying here. The house was nice and clean. It had everything you need. It was secluded but not too secluded (off the road and private, but neighbors close by so you feel safe and not alone). It was also close by restaurants and shopping center (about 5-7 minutes).

We loved hosting you, Mary! You're a great guest and are welcome back any time!
The house was set in a beautiful, peaceful location. The hosts had the house looking very clean and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend this location and would stay here again!
Harold and Cindy are very responsive and helpful hosts. The house was clean and the kitchen well-appointed. The home’s off-street location offers quiet, peaceful privacy together plenty of local wildlife sightings. We hope to return again next year!

We certainly appreciate the kind words, Max. We want everyone to love it as much as we do. You were an exceptional guest, and you are welcome to visit Fram's Place any time!
We came to Wilkesboro to attend a wedding and decided to book here instead of a hotel. House was very well kept and in a very peaceful quiet location. Highly recommended!
We came from SC and had a wonderful time over the weekend. The grands, 5 and 7, enjoyed running, catching and releasing fireflies, along with memory walks on the trails that led to other properties. The house was exactly as described in VRBO. Cindy and Harold were excellent hosts. They even had s’mores if we had time for a bonfire, which we didn’t. Lovely stay. I give 5 stars

Fram's Place is very clean, conveniently located to retailers, groceries, restaurants, and major cities with historic and natural attractions. The home is very clean, well-kempt, and contains all the amenities needed for an extended stay. Additionally, the host is extremely responsive to inquiries, attentive to detail, and ensured the check-in and check-out process was seamless.

Thank you so very much for your kind words! We were so honored to host you and welcome you to return any time!
My family and I were nervous about booking a VRBO for a wedding that we needed to attend since we live several states over, but from the MOMENT that we booked this stay, the hosts were nothing less than STELLAR.
We are so grateful to have had a place to stay, especially a safe one as we traveled during Hurricane Helene.
If you are considering booking this VRBO, my family and I HIGHLY recommend it!!
From excellent service and PERFECTLY clean rooms to a s’mores bar and some friendly property cats, this is the PERFECT weekend getaway. BOOK IT!

Sara,
Thank you so much for your kind and generous words! We were so honored to host you and your family for such a special occasion. We would invite you to return ANY TIME!
BLESSINGS,
Harold and Cindy
P.S. The kitties told us they really enjoyed your visit, too! 😊
We came to Wilkesboro for a dance competition and had to book with fairly short notice and all the nearby hotels were sold out. We opted to go with vrbo and it turned out to be a blessing that we where too late to book a hotel after all!
The home was just a short drive from all the restaurants and venues the dance competition had planned for us. The peaceful and private little spot is in a nice neighborhood, but tucked behind trees. It gave the feeling of being off grid, but the convenience of central location!
The sweet outdoor kittys were always so greeting us on the porch when we sat on the porch rocking chairs for coffee.
The smore kit and firewood was such an awesome touch and whilst we had a busy schedule during our stay, the kids appreciated the sweet treats!
The fridge was stocked with cold waters and the kuereg stocked with coffee pods. The bathrooms had all the necessities and plenty of towels & extra blankets. The beds were comfortable and offered more than enough room for our party of five. The house was well appointed in every way. We WILL be staying here if we return to the area!
