This is the cleanest most charming home we have ever stayed. Our family of 6 (including our fur baby) had the best time.... only having one restroom limited our time for long showers but we made it work... if you hear a loud siren, it's ok.. the Fire Dept. is close by, there is no Tsunami. We don't have littles anymore but there is even a cool play area for them. Highly recommend if you're in Oriental and need a place to stay.

Easy stay in great location

Stayed here for one night before camp drop off, plenty of room and super convenient to the town of Oriental. Didn’t get to enjoy much of the stuff around because it was a short day, but the bikes would’ve been loved by all. Hot water, cute house, great location- would gladly stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Tointon

Host profile image
My brother David and I were willed our grandparents home when our father passed away in 1996. We rent it selectively so we can keep the place in the family.

Why they chose this property

This property was home to our great grandparents, our grandparents and is where our father grew up. We spent a lot of time there and continue to have wonderful memories there with our own families. With the numerous songbirds, 100 year old pecan trees and the original tin roof, you may want to stay a while.

What makes this property unique

Much of the furnishings are original pieces and photos of the Pugh family are scattered in the home. It is a special place and we welcome you to make your own memories there. It is a peaceful place and very relaxing. Use of the cruiser bikes is a wonderful benefit. Riding around the town on a bike is the best way to see it.
