Really enjoyed our stay! Kids loved the fishing and ducks. Check-in and communication was great. Quiet but close to activities, grocery and restaurants. History of home is amazing. Although clean could use a deep cleaning. Be careful snakes like to sun on back deck. We would definitely return.

Pops place

We loved our stay at pops place! We have visited North Carolina quite a bit in the last few years to go hiking. Pops place was the perfect place to stay during our hiking adventures. It was centrally located near DuPont state forest, Gorges state park and Pysgah national forest. We enjoyed coming back to pops place for a home cooked dinner after a long day of hiking. Thank you for your hospitality! Sheena and Andrew

Review

Exterior furniture dirty and full of spider webs as well as surrounding areas. Humidifier was sticky to touch, obviously has not been cleaned in a while. This is my second stay at Pops Place. We like the rustic feel and its location. However could use some serious cleaning up.

Rustic and quiet!

The place was old, the ceilings were low (I'm 6'3"), the floors creaked.....and it was fantastic! The area was secluded and quiet and scenic. Just what we wanted for our 29th anniversary. If we stayed one more day, the owners would have had to drag me out of there! We loved it!

Good getaway.

We enjoyed our stay. Place is showing its age, musty smell inside. Was improved when employee brought out candle and Lysol spray which we greatly appreciated. Had to have a/c fan run continuously to help smell. A lot of dishes and silverware can be replaced with resale items. Cords run all over. Bathroom shower not handicapped friendly. Staff worked with us very well. Good location, good fishing.
