Great place to stay

Very comfortable, well cared for and well equipped home, even if the layout is a bit strange. We loved sitting on the front porch watching the world go by. The host was most friendly and helpful. It is a convenient place to stay when visiting Lake James and we will happily stay here again.

Overnight Stay

Quaint house. Very Clean. Four bunk beds, double bed, and twin bed. Slept 7 of us easily. Lots of counter space in the kitchen. WiFi. Lots of towels. Convenient location to town. It listed a hot tub in the listing but there wasn’t one. I think that was an accident.

Cozy & Well-Appointed Cottage with Breathtaking Mountain Views

This is a cozy home with amazing views of the mountains - you can see the sunrise over the mountains on one side of the home and the sunset over the mountains on the other side. The home is 10 mins from downtown Morganton, and very close to some great hiking. The kitchen is well-appointed and beds comfy. The property manager was very nice and accommodating. We continued to extend our stay as we enjoyed staying here.

Went over and above to accommodate my coworker and I with a place to stay close to our job. We live 3 hours away and could not find anything local. Their response time along with their geniune kindness will have us feeling blessed for years to come.

Great ,clean little place with an amazing host

My coworker and I were in town fir debris clean up from hurricane Helene. We could not find any accommodations anywhere. I messaged the host and asked if it was possible to get us in the following day if there was a cancelation? To my surprise I recieved a message saying we were in luck. This gentleman was a blessing in all ways.We recommend this place to any responsible adults looking for a quite little retreat clise to town.

Comfy like at Grandma's House

The home was clean and well tended after. It is also a vintage home with a few modern touches so keep that in mind if you are looking for something modern or chic (I rarely am). We were comfortable in the home for our one night stay. One thing to note that I did not realize is that the bunk bed room is open to the living room area. Overall I feel very lucky to have shared space with what felt like a very special family home.
