Details: We rented the main house and the bunk house. The listing: counts the bathroom in the Bunk House BUT the bunk house is NOT a part of the main house rental, so be aware; the main house rental is 1 bathroom and the outdoor shower. Cleanliness: Dust and cobwebs (see pics)

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Sept 2025
We are sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. We always encourage our guests to reach out to us immediately if anything is needed, so we can resolve issues during the stay rather than afterward. Our listing clearly outlines the setup of the property: the main house has one bathroom and an outdoor shower, and the bunkhouse is a separate unit with its own bathroom. We will continue to make sure this is clear to avoid future confusion. Cleanliness and comfort are a top priority, and had we been notified at check-in, we would have gladly provided additional linens and towels right away. We pride ourselves on being kind and responsive hosts, and most of our reviews reflect that. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve, though we do want to note that our team reviewed the listing and found it to be accurate. Thank you for staying with us, and we wish you the best in your future travels.

Great Place to Stay

We had a lovely stay. The porch over looking the river was my favorite place to sit. If you are looking for a place to stay when you are participating in the White Lake Triathlons, it is about a 20-30 minute easy drive. We thought it was a perfect place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Dale Bollinger and Rocio Bollinger

Host profile image
I am a life long Bladen County resident. I love building, nature, wildlife, reading and fishing. I spend my life with my beautiful wife Chio and my daughter Amanda Belle.

Why they chose this property

I always enjoyed nature and building. I helped the original owners building this cabin and always loved it because of the awesome view of the river from the living area and the main decking.

What makes this property unique

The view of the river is just amazing. Waking up early and watching the fog on the river and sunrise with a hot cup of coffee while hearing all the birds singing and announcing the new day has no price.
