Jordan Lake

"My husband and I had a unexpected really great time at this adorable home. We cooked a large Italian meal and even shared with the owners. They allowed us and encouraged us to use their herb garden which was nice having fresh ingredients right outside our door! The row boat and pond were nice and peaceful and the pictures we were able to get of the scenery look as if they were straight out of a magazine. We longed for nothing and truly enjoyed our stay. We plan to return again during the Duke football season. I'm pretty sure we brought the Southern California wearher with us because it was beautiful the entire time. We even enjoyed light music and a visit one evening on the owners porch candle lit overlooking the pond. It's home away from home if not better because there are no chores nagging you to get done! I highly recommend this beautiful location and these beautiful people. Enjoy!"

"Emmet Smith cottage was the perfect place to stay. It is peaceful and private, but Heather makes herself available if the need arises. Three things were standouts- we could bring our dog(a real bonus), it had a fully functioning kitchen (ate in 2 nights) & has a full size washer & dryer. Also, some breakfast food is provided to get you started ( thought I'd only see this at a hotel), as well as laundry supplies & paper products. This was our first VRBO experience so it was nice we didn't have to think about all the little things & tote or buy them. Also, Heather provides a very detailed list of attractions & restaurants which we referred to often. The bathroom is small, but worked out fine for the 2 of us. If we get back to the area, hope to stay here again. I highly recommend it!"
