Summary: Visited during Thanksgiving. The home was welcoming after spending time with our family at another location. Trails nearby were an added plus.

Summary: Super comfortable house! It's surrounded by trees, and we were visited by several deer while we were there. It was very quiet, and the blackout curtains made it easy to sleep late or take naps. It's just down the street from other houses though so it didn't feel too remote. If I am in the area again, I will definitely stay again. Thanks for sharing your lovely home.

Summary: We LOVED our stay and only wish that we could have stayed longer. We were two adults and 2 kids aged 5 and 7 and had plenty of space. The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed for a few meals at home. It was so helpful to have laundry in the house when a trip to the Eno River quickly led to swimming in our clothes :) Laura was extremely helpful and we so appreciated the kids toys and board games. We hope to come back during a future trip. A full day swimming and relaxing by the Eno River was highlight as were the Duke Gardens. Beautiful area!

Summary: Such a beautiful home in the woods, booked this stay for family as we were in town for a nearby festival. The hosts were so friendly and accomodating during their stay, they truly thought of everything! The nearby trails was an added bonus, we enjoyed seeing the local wildlife.
