The property was clean, and had everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood and a GREAT back yard. My wife and I don't travel often, but this property became our oasis in a community we were unfamiliar with.
We really enjoyed our 5 night stay! The home is clean, decorated in a welcoming, comfortable way and even special extras like the fire pit, hammock, and record player. Susan was a fabulous host. I highly recommend this property!
Beautiful and family-friendly property in a quiet neighborhood
We had a lovely 2-night stay at Susan's. The home was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for our small family, including my 6 month old. The location was quiet and close to many restaurants and attractions. We were in town for the Ren Faire, which was only 20 minutes from this property. Looking forward to staying here again!
I've rented this awesome home 2x recently and will continue too! The home is immaculate & the owners are stellar.
It's the best VRBO I've ever been in.
You won't be disappointed with this property! The neighborhood & neighbors are great. It's quiet & quaint. I absolutely love it!
Photos are 100% accurate! This is a little gem of a house. Beds are comfortable lots of beautiful little touches to make this house comfortable. Lots of games to play, music to listen to, snacks, water, washer and dryer, fire pit, porch swing and our door deck with a couch. The owner is wonderful with lots of tips and suggestions for the area.
I wanted to write a review to say how much I enjoyed staying at your place. Your thoughtfulness and care shone through in every detail—from the spotless setup and the helpful instructions you texted to the way you made everything so easy and welcoming. It felt like home, and that’s no small thing.Our text chats were always so friendly and helpful, and I really appreciated how you went out of your way to make sure I had what I needed. It’s clear you put your heart into hosting, and it made my stay something I’ll remember fondly.Thank you for everything—I’d love to come back someday!
University Mill House was the perfect location while attending events at Cabarrus Arena. Susan was so responsive from the initial booking stages and throughout the stay. Immaculately clean, so much attention has been given to details of anything you may need from a sound machine, aromatherapy diffuser, dual kitchen decanter/kcup, fast brew hot water tea pot and every utensil imaginable. The gas grill was an added bonus. A basket was provided for the pets, sofa cover and little blankets. The neighborhood is quiet and quaint and perfect for front porch sitting to unwind before crawling into the comfy king size bed. What a treasure we were fortunate enough to find for our stay. P.S. Thank you Susan and Ben for the welcome basket of goodies and cold waters waiting in the fridge.
We loved our stay, we just wish it would have been longer. Everything about this property is top notch. We loved their thoughtful note that was waiting for us. We also loved listening to their record collection. Thanks for everything!
This cute little Mill house is one of 1,600 historic Mill houses in the area and possibly the cutest and most well-appointed one. Susan was a great host and had a basket of goodies and water bottles in the fridge for us when we arrived.After our visit, I believed I had lost an expensive bracelet in the guest room. I told Susan about it and she took an extra visit to the house to scour every corner of the place. This is above and beyond what most would do.I highly recommend her place and hope to stay again while visiting family in the area.
