Super cute space! Very clean, all the basics covered. Location is convenient to Rocky Mount and Ferrum College. James was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. I loved the wall of local restaurants! We tried a few new ones. Will definitely be back!

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re really glad you enjoyed the space and found everything clean and comfortable. It’s great to hear you made use of the local restaurant wall and got to try some new spots—that’s one of our favorite touches to share with guests. We truly appreciate you staying with us and would love to host you again anytime you’re back in the area!

Nice older home. Great front porch with rockers and a screen room in the back! We had a small problem with the water but the owner responded quickly and had someone out within 15 minutes to repair.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the front porch and the screened-in back room—they’re some of our favorite spots too. We appreciate your understanding with the water issue and are happy we could get it taken care of quickly for you. We’d love to host you again anytime!
