The Relaxing Oaks
Welcome to the Foothills of North Carolina and our little house in the woods! The home of white squirrels and country life, we are located at the bottom of White Oak Mountain. Only 5 minutes from I-26 and Columbus NC, yet we are tucked away in nature.
Pets (up to 2 maximum) are welcome. We do charge a pet fee so be sure to include them in your reservation. If we see you have pets and have not included them in the reservation, we will charge $200 to the card on file. You are responsible for any damages that may occur while you are here with us. This includes but isn’t limited to any bedding, furniture, carpets, scratches on floors, etc and any extra cleaning cost that may need to be required.

This spacious 1 Bedroom -1 Bath apartment is resting on a slope surrounded by trees on the back side. You will take the steps up the side to the entry, step inside and relax! There is also a sleeper sofa in the living room if you need the extra bed.
