Beautiful propery , got to meet the owner , who was so nice and on top of that play with his friendly pups ! The house is so close to the plantations that we toured on the James and two great restaurants ( can see one from the house ) . Would definately rent again .

Great stay with daily walks

Very private, you can see the other house but far enough away for privacy. Home is comfortable and presents well. Kitchen is large and plenty of seating. Loved the primary bedroom, seating and closet space, so bright and sunny throughout the whole house.We enjoyed walking down the driveway daily towards the park, and the restaurant across the street was good, ate there twice.Shower was large and having the extra 1/2 bath made the stay better.A few negatives would be the full size bed in 2nd bedroom wasn’t comfortable, too hard for me. The cold water did have a supper smell in the kitchen, there is Brita filter but we ended up buying water too.We enjoyed our stay.

Great place to stay near Plantation Event

Traveled from Myrtle Beach for niece's wedding at Burlington. Perfect cottage for our overnight stay. Cottage was exceptionally clean and accommodating. Sorry we weren't there long enough to enjoy the patio firepit or fireplaces. Anna (Host) was magnificent and very responsive when looking to book last minute. Appreciate the kind welcome note for our arrival. So glad we canceled hotel reservations 15 miles further from our event. The drive to wedding was less than 10 minutes. Very quaint & peaceful!!!! Thanks again!!!! 5 STARS for sure!!!!

very nice!

Seems like some VRBO hosts are omitting everything possible, like moving into a shell of a home. Not this one! Our host was considerate like you'd expect a proper hotel should be -- no need to run around to a store to pick up a little shampoo if you forgot it. Extremely communicative from the moment we booked, which was another above and beyond aspect.
