This property met the needs we were looking for. That being said, the furniture was uncomfortable. The seating downstairs was limited. The property was quiet and isolated which was great. We really enjoyed the location.

We enjoyed our stay. The guesthouse was the perfect size for us. It was clean and appeared to be recently renovated with some modern touches. Not too far from everything yet quiet and private. The host was attentive, sharing all the necessary information for easy entry and nearly effortless checkout.

The host was very personable and replied quickly to questions. The location is near the lake in a country setting. It was perfect for a quiet get away. The location even though in country setting is very close to Durham and Chapel Hill. The location was very safe. The cottage is bright and modern. Parking is plentiful.

Great property! The house has been nicely renovated. We were gone much of the time, but enjoyed relaxing on the comfortable leather reclining couch at the end of the day! The woods are pretty and our pup thought it was all a grand adventure.
