Description:

As the Mother Goose poem states “And they all lived together in a little crooked house.” Pops Place is that little crooked house that sits on a fish filled pond. This is truly a house of character, as it was once a tobacco barn that was located in the middle of where the pond is now. The large windows on both levels were once French doors and the history of the house goes on from there as each piece was put together by the owner's father (Pops).

The house sits above a pond filled with trout for you to fish and a dock. There is also a hiking trail right next to the property. Pops Place also has an open deck to enjoy the evening cool air. Peace, quiet, and privacy as there is only one neighbor across the pond (They share the pond).

This is truly a house that has a lot to offer a family for a summer vacation.

We absolutely adore Pop’s Place.

We absolutely adore Pop’s Place. The home was obviously made with a vision and couldn’t have been more of a “home away from home”. We felt safe with the cleaning procedures that were put in place before our arrival and were comfortable during our stay thanks to a cozy home and a serene environment. The PM company were prompt in their responses, kind, and helpful. This is certainly a home we will visit again. Thank you! The team was excellent. Very knowledgeable of the property and helpful with the process of renting during a pandemic. The team ensured my requests to the housekeeper were met and I felt 100% comfortable bringing my family to the home for a much needed break. Thank you!

Review

Exterior furniture dirty and full of spider webs as well as surrounding areas. Humidifier was sticky to touch, obviously has not been cleaned in a while. This is my second stay at Pops Place. We like the rustic feel and its location. However could use some serious cleaning up.

Pops place

We loved our stay at pops place! We have visited North Carolina quite a bit in the last few years to go hiking. Pops place was the perfect place to stay during our hiking adventures. It was centrally located near DuPont state forest, Gorges state park and Pysgah national forest. We enjoyed coming back to pops place for a home cooked dinner after a long day of hiking. Thank you for your hospitality! Sheena and Andrew

Rustic and quiet!

The place was old, the ceilings were low (I'm 6'3"), the floors creaked.....and it was fantastic! The area was secluded and quiet and scenic. Just what we wanted for our 29th anniversary. If we stayed one more day, the owners would have had to drag me out of there! We loved it!
