Homecoming at WCU 2023

The cutest studio near campus!! The owners were very accommodating and nice. They greeted us upon arriving and were very good at responding on the app if we had any concerns or questions. The home was very clean and they even had little supplies/goodies throughout the home. The walk to campus was also very short and easy. Definitely will be staying again!!

Sweet Cozy Studio!

My husband and I stayed here for orientation weekend at WCU and we loved it. The rental was beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed the coffee and drinks that were provided and loved the mirror in the bathroom! We hope to stay here again when we visit our daughter in the fall. Thank you Russ for allowing us to use you space, we thoroughly enjoyed it!
