Cozy and comfy

It was just the two of us and the dog on this trip. This house met all our needs--yard for the dog; room for us to sit, sleep, eat breakfast, and get ready for the day. The owner was very punctual and responsive with information. We would definitely stay again.

Great communication with Michaela. Everything as listed.

Day of arrival we thought that we were arriving a couple hours early and I asked if we could get an early check in. Michaela texted me as soon as the house was cleaned that we could check in. Turns out we didn't need this but very pleased that the request was accomodated. The back yard is wonderful for small dogs and I love that it is kept clean.

Doggone great!

Smaller house that lived much larger than the pictures show. It was supplied with everything we could want, plus thoughtful dog accessories. The weather was chilly (snowed twice!), yet we enjoyed coffee on the deck overlooking the huge back yard space. Can't wait to come back!

Lovely renovated older home in Aberdeen. The hangout was perfect for our short stay. Host communicated promptly. Lots of linens and extra touches like a welcome basket and cream and sugar. Another big bonus was fenced in backyard for our dog and a nice deck.

Golf outing

We were very impressed with the cleanliness of this house. We had 4 adults and our 2 bulldogs and it was perfect for us. Fenced in backyard for the dogs to enjoy. Beds were very comfortable and clean. All the amenities you need in the kitchen to cook and enjoy. Easy check-in process was a breeze. We highly suggest this property as its close to Pinehurst at a much cheaper cost.
