✈️ Full Stop Landing | Aviation Retreat Near Pinehurst

Touch down at your aviation-inspired getaway. Located just a short taxi from the runway at Gilliam-McConnell Airfield (BQ1), Full Stop Landing offers a stay unlike any other. Designed for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and travelers seeking something out of the ordinary, this two-bedroom, one-bath retreat combines modern comfort with unforgettable airport views and aviation-inspired details.

Whether you`re flying in for the weekend or simply looking for a unique stay in North Carolina`s Sandhills, Full Stop Landing is the perfect place to touch down. Inspired by aviation and designed for comfort, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers a front-row seat to airport life while providing all the comforts of home.

Located just steps from the hangar, the thoughtfully designed space blends modern amenities with aviation-inspired décor, creating a relaxing atmosphere that`s perfect after a day in the skies. Sip your morning coffee while watching aircraft come and go, unwind after a cross-country flight, or use the space as your home base for exploring the area.

When you`re ready to venture out, you`re just minutes from local favorites like Pik-N-Pig, downtown Southern Pines, and the Village of Pinehurst, home to world-renowned golf, boutique shopping, and exceptional dining.

Each bedroom is thoughtfully furnished with comfortable bedding, aviation-inspired touches, and everything you need for a restful night`s sleep.

🚿 Full Bathroom
A clean, well-appointed bathroom stocked with the essentials to help you start and end each day comfortably.

☕ Kitchenette

🛋 Pilot`s Lounge
Relax in the spacious living area featuring comfortable aviator-style seating, a large flat-screen TV, and an oversized island that doubles as a dining table or dedicated workspace.

The Hangar Experience

One of the most unique features of Full Stop Landing is the attached private airplane hangar. With advance notice, pilots may reserve hangar space for an additional fee to securely store their aircraft during their stay.

Even if you`re not arriving by air, you`ll love watching planes taxi, take off, and land just outside your door. The attached hangar and active airport setting create an authentic aviation experience that`s difficult to find anywhere else. For pilots, having the runway next door makes this an ideal destination for a weekend fly-in or a memorable stop along your journey.

Whether you`re here for aviation, golf, or a relaxing getaway, Full Stop Landing offers a stay that`s truly ready for a smooth landing.

You`ll have exclusive access to the entire residence during your stay, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of flying or exploring the Sandhills.

The attached airplane hangar is private and will remain locked during your stay. However, guests can enjoy views into the hangar from the large picture window in the rear bedroom, offering a unique glimpse into the aviation lifestyle.
